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!

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
