Leggings: Go2Socks vs Zella High Waisted

April 15, 2020 /

In the fall and winter, I have been wearing solely my Zella high waisted leggings when I want to wear leggings instead of jeans. I always wear a tunic or long sweater with them. A few months ago, Jodie from Jtouchofstyle recommended the Go2Socks compression leggings in a post (the link takes you to one of 3 posts on reviewing the leggings). With such a difference in price, I decided to go ahead and purchase a pair and put them to the test. Of course I took advantage of her discount code too!

Zella High Waisted Leggings

I paid full price for my pair of Zella leggings but they do occasionally go on sale for 30% off. I have had my leggings for over 2 years and they do not show any wear and tear after many washes. I probably have worn them more than 40+ times! I like the thickness of the leggings and the seam on the side that gives them less of a work out feel. They are 100% opaque. The wide band at the waist smooths any muffin top. Despite the price, I would buy these again if my pair ever wears out. They are 88% polyester and 12% spandex. I wear these in medium.

These leggings are a great value for their price: at $19.99, I find them to be comfortable and versatile. I have worn this pair more for exercise activities because they are slightly thinner than my Zella leggings but still opaque. The material is 87% nylon and 13% spandex which gives it more of a workout material feel. I love the smartphone pockets feature especially when I am hiking.

The only issue I have with these is that they seem to sag in the crotch area and I find myself having to pull them up. The high waist band though stays in place and I liked that part of the leggings a lot.

My cute little hiking buddy! I carried my phone in my leggings pocket and the leggings were none the worse for wear after a hard fall climbing down the ridge at the end of our hike. I am wearing the size small.

Conclusion

I still prefer my zella leggings mostly because of the issue I have with the Go2socks leggings sagging in the crotch area but I am glad to have both and would buy them both again.
