UPDATE—July 19, 2022: Good news! The best-selling Zella leggings are on a major sale yet again during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022. Snap up the classic black or opt for other colors and textures, then scroll on over to find even more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals on fashion, lingerie, and beauty.
ORIGINAL STORY—JULY 28, 2021: Apparently I’ve been sleeping on Zella leggings, because all of a sudden they’re all I hear people talking about—especially one pair in particular, the brand’s Live-In High-Waist Leggings. I’m all about the leggings life, but it’s hard to find a solid (by which I also mean opaque) pair that holds up over time, whether I’m running around the park or Netflix-ing on the couch (which I’m doing more of these days). And although I’m beyond my days of $10 H&M leggings, I also don’t love spending a silly amount of money. So when I heard about Zella, I was intrigued—and now that the brand’s leggings are majorly discounted during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021, I think I need them.
These leggings have 7,200 reviews on Nordstrom’s site—and you know how people really only review things when they either love or hate them? People love these. “Must haves!” one review raves. “The name LIVE IN makes total sense. I truly do live in these! My favorite part is the high waist because it…never falls or rolls etc. and also, the shape of the seams on the back?! Makes every bum look lifted and cute!”
“I’ve tried all (well maybe not ALL) brands of leggings—some of which specialize in athletic wear,” says another. “They were either too thin, sagged after wearing, didn’t have enough compression, drooped down, looked flimsy etc. This brand is the only one that didn’t have any of these issues.” Other reviewers swear they hold up after endless washes, rave that the seams stay intact, and love that they’re thick enough to provide coverage and to feel comfortable—as though you’re actually wearing pants—but not too warm.
Consider me persuaded to add to cart. The Zella leggings typically cost anywhere from $59 to $69, but they’re on sale right now during Nordstrom’s Anniversary event—which officially launched today. So whether you’re looking to round out your leggings drawer with a brand-new pair or you want to get a handful of these cult-favorite pairs to rotate throughout the week, this is the time to do it (seriously).
They come in sizes XXS through XXL, and if you’re the type who loves a new workout outfit to re-motivate (me, that’s me), shop the top-rated Zella leggings below.
