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!

….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how ma Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how many more years we have of this family tradition before SOMEONE becomes a full blown teen / tween and the Happiest Place on Earth is a whole different vibeWe: hugged our favorite characters, danced every time mom got a coffee (swipe for that excellent content), Lydia and Robbie rode all the mountains, walked 22,000 steps on Saturday alone, and Robbie finally got to see Toontown for the first time since it’s reopening.We slept like rocks on the comfy beds at the JW Marriott (it was such a kind gesture when they offered to host us for Mother’s day weekend), I drank my morning coffee in their beautiful garden, and loved that it was a quick 15 minute walk to the Disneyland gates.  If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience near Disneyland, I highly recommend.  They have great dining options, a Starbucks in the lobby each morning, and a lovely pool.  This was a perfect treat yourself location.Have you done a holiday at Disneyland? My favorites (in no particular order): Halloween (Oogie Boogie is the best), Holiday Time and Mother’s Day……each has it’s own unique flavor.@MarriottBonvoy #MarriottBonvoy @jwmarriottanaheim #jwmarriottanaheim #MarriottBonvoyMoments Hosted
