No Nonsense Women’s Stretch Denim Leggings with Pockets

nice fit and look on a large athletic woman, totally comfy
UPDATE: I accidentally fell asleep on the couch in these. I slept all night, very comfortably. I wanted to make this update because I remembered one reviewer saying that they were comfortable but she wouldn’t sleep in them. I’m a pea-intolerant princess when it comes to my bedding: tangles in the sheets under me tend to wake me up, and just forget lacy negligees. But these jeggings were great!Thank you, to all the Amazonians who gave their measurements and other details. I will do the same in hopes it will help more people. I am 5’8″, waist 29″, very wide pelvic bones with widest fleshy part of hips 39″, thigh diameter 22″. Curvy, athletic, muscular build, with big thighs from heavy lifting, running, cycling. But the clothing industry thinks that my big thighs mean that I am overweight and have a pot belly. It’s almost impossible to find pants or jeans that fit in all places without tailoring; if I can yank a pair past my massive thighs and butt, then the waist is usually 2-3 inches too big. I recently put on a few pounds of fat, so all the Size 4 jeans that I have altered are uncomfortably tight. I have been living–and running and cycling–in cotton Xhilaration tights from Target; the snake print is so darling and very flattering. Perhaps a little *too* flattering: even though I buy them in large so that they are a little roomy and my panty-lines don’t show, reg’lar ol’ tights look just this side of naked, as far as my conservative neighborhood is concerned. Searching for tights with eye-confusing patterns on them, I came across the under-advertised world of jean-style leggings. I have purchased several. If you check my other reviews you can see what I think of a variety of brands.Based on the reviews, I bought the No Nonsense Dark Denim Leggings in medium. I just love them! They have real double-stitching along the legs and around the pockets and fake fly. The back pockets are stylishly, flatteringly (and distractingly) small and low. The legs are plenty long enough to slouch a little bit around my lower calves, the lower part of the leg is just loose enough to look like real jeans rather than tights. You can’t see a panty line, even when I wear my poorly-designed Jockey For Her cotton bikinis under the leggings. They provide the camoflage that I need to look less naked in public, while…basically allowing me to be naked in public. :)The fit is sexy-tight and smooth around my thighs and butt, and just slightly creases/bunches like regular denim jeans. I really like this look, but if you don’t then you should get a size smaller than your usual and it will smooth out.On me, probably because the drop between my hips and thighs is so big, the waist is a little looser than I would prefer, resulting in a 3/4-inch gap in the back when I sit down; still, not nearly as gappy as normal jeans, and the material is thin enough that I can easily take in the waist a little. I’m sure I could get into the Small and they’d probably be comfortable, but on me they would look a lot more like tights and less like skinny denim jeans.The material is more substantial than I was expecting from leggings. Some of my real skinny denim jeans are about this weight. I can ride my bike comfortably in these, but they would also provide moderate protection on a woodland path.What would make these leggings even better? Fit-wise, since they are *leggings*, not jeans, I feel that the waist band should be smaller. Cosmetically-speaking, I don’t like the obvious sudden halt between jeans-look detailing and the old lady stretchy pants solid waistband; I can only wear these with a top that covers the waistband–what about my crop tops? I’d prefer that the contrast double stitch illusion continue into the waist band. I think at least one fake brass button on the waist band would look awesome; in fact, I think I will add one myself. Belt loops faked with stitching would perfect the look; real ones would be very useful for women with a big hips/waist drop. Just because they are stretch pants doesn’t mean that a blank waistband has to give that fact away. I wish they were available in more fades, washes, and distressing. Soon, maybe?

Good fitting jeggings. Look like real jeans.
My jeans are all a bit tight after I gained 10 pounds so I have been on the look out for jean-like leggings that didn’t look like too much like fake jeans. Not an easy thing to find. These No Nonsense Women’s Denim Legging actually look like jeans. They are not thick and stiff like jeans but they have good texture and coloring. I like that, if I roll them up, they have jean-like coloring on the inside so they look very much like a real pair of jeans. I am 5″5″, 139 pounds and got size medium. I also tried the size small and they were just too tight around my gut to be comfortable. The mediums fit really well around my stomach, hips, butt, and legs. I do have thin legs so these don’t cling super tightly like a pair of high Spandex leggings but that’s fine. That makes them look even more like real skinny jeans.The length is good and they seem to be made well. I will probably buy a pair or two more. They’re not warm but definitely not see through or flimsy. If they were just a bit thicker for cooler weather, they would be just about perfect. They are the most realistic looking jean leggings I have found so far.

Sturdy, nice dark jegging denim
I liked the dark denim. True to size. I’m 5’4, 200+ lbs. This waist band is sturdy but comfy & goes up enough. I liked I could fold at bottom for that casual look. Thick enough not to be flimsy, but thin enough to be comfy. I was cautious & bought 1 for now. I’d buy another👍🏼

It is important that they fit.

I have lost weight and I went down a size. They are a great fit and are so comfortable. I love no nonsense jeans and would recommend them to anyone. The prize is great and they wash well and don’t lose their shape or colour.
