Let's talk leggings.  I tried on over 17 pairs, and I'm sharing the three BEST pairs of black leggings for a pear shape body!

Are you looking for the best black leggings for your pear shaped body? Los Angeles Lifestyle blogger, Lipgloss & Crayons shares the best leggings she’s found.

I know, I know.  We all wear black leggings more often than we'd like to admit.  They're a total staple in most women's wardrobes.  And yes, they are pants.  At least in my book.  In September of 2017, you guys asked for my recommendations for the BEST ones.  And, no joke…..I tried on more than 17 pairs for research purposes.  From luxury to bargain pairs….I tried them ALL.  Any pair someone raved about, I tried.  And these? Were my total favorites for us pear shaped ladies…..this summer, I went back and tried MORE pairs.  Low and behold, my favorites? The exact same ones I picked originally.

From casual wear with a comfortable sweatshirt to dressed up with a tunic and boots…….black leggings are a piece that should be a part of everyone's wardrobe.  And a great fitting pair? Will change your life.  And apparently, once you've found your true loves……you'll be committed forever, ha!

Which Black Leggings Should You Buy?

Looking for the best black leggings for a pear shaped body?!? These SPANX leggings are an amazing fit!

THE BEST SCULPTING BLACK LEGGINGS

Spanx Seamless Leggings (size large, $68):  These have been my mainstay black leggings for the last five years.  They're a great stretchy material, and I love that they have a very subtle seam (the current version has a seam on the outside and inside, just an FYI).  They're high waisted and do a great job of lightly sculpting without feeling uncomfortable.  Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared of shapewear…….being uncomfortable ALL day just sounds dismal.  But these? I wore them to work at school all the time, and they're GREAT.  They last a whole day without me feeling like I'm being sucked in.  They don't stretch out, and they wash and wear beautifully.  If you're looking for sculpting leggings….these are my top pick (plus they have a really fun pleather version if you're looking for a hipper black legging)! Worth every penny! Looking for the best black leggings for a pear shaped body?!? These SPANX leggings are an amazing fit!

If you're on the hunt for the best black leggings then look no further! These black velvet leggings from AERIE are amazing!

THE BEST BARGAIN BLACK LEGGINGS

Aerie Chill Leggings (size large, $20): I own these leggings in an embarrassing amount of fabrics and colors (I recently bought grey, olive and burgundy in addition to another solid black pair).  These velvet ones were limited edition over the holidays, but I also own the shine version and the matte version.  They're high waisted, stretchy, and thick enough to qualify as pants instead of tights.  I love that they don't stretch out throughout the day, and I double love that they aren't a million dollars.  If you're looking for black leggings that don't cost a TON, these are definitely the way to go (they also have sales a LOT)!

THE BEST STAPLE BLACK LEGGINGS

Zella Live In High Waist Leggings, Size Large: Yes, the rumors are true.  Zella leggings are AMAZING (I actually did a full review about them HERE).  While I usually think of Zella leggings as workout wear, they're my favorite everyday black leggings.  Stretchy without being too much, high waisted, and just the right thickness.  They wash and wear easily, and don't stretch out AT ALL.  I'm OBSESSED!

    I’d love to try the SPANX ESSENTIAL LEGGINGS! They do look nice on you. I’m wearing black leggings now, they were free if you made an online order of a certain amount, they don’t do anything for my shape. I am spooked by shapewear, I tried a slip once in the dressing room of Macy’s, and it took me so long to get it off I was hyperventilating, and it was very uncomfortable being so squeezed, and it was a size larger than I usually wear. So many nice things here, you really have a knack for finding the best!

I used to look at my shadow while I was running an I used to look at my shadow while I was running and think about how wide it was….but now all I can think is….YOU DID THAT.Running Diaries: 11 miles…..for the first time EVER.  If I can do 11 miles, I can do the half marathon in January.  This was the first “challenge training” I did.  I ran 3 miles the day before this and then 11 this day.  Race Weekend I’ll be doing a 10k on the Saturday and a half marathon on the Sunday.  That’s right, this almost 45 year old “not athletic” girlie is going to do it.  And I feel good about it.  It amazes me how much of this is mental at this point.  I’ve done the training.  It’s KNOWING I can do it.  And listening to my body when I need to slow down, snack, drink water.Wow.  11 miles.  I’m proud of this one. signed, your curvy running buddy

🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the d 🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the double digits! Happy 10th birthday to our adventure buddy, it feels like we just met her yesterday. Lydia brings joy to everyone in her life and I feel so lucky to be her mom! She had the sweetest birthday celebration with a few friends over the weekend.  They watched movies, and this adorable set up from @fireflysocal was a total hit.  I can’t recommend this local business enough, the vibes were impeccable (plus who doesn’t love letting someone else do the set up?!?)
I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work commitments, Lydia’s birthday, general holiday busy-ness….it felt like one too many things. Hugged friends. Ate treats. Watched the most magical Disneyland tradition. And reminded myself it’s ok to enjoy the holidays for myself a bit too.Here’s to making memories for the memory makers all season long. Thank you @allisonmertzman for taking me on the best friend date to Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional!
…..a reminder that you are not: - too much - too …..a reminder that you are not:- too much- too loud- too enthusiastic For all the little girls who felt they needed to dull themselves.  To lessen their excitement.  To be a smaller version of themselves.You deserve to be the whole version of you. (and to do it dressing a way that brings you joy)
