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)!

Obsessed with black leggings? This pair from Zella is amazing and perfect for everyday wear!

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!

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
