These jeggings are my new favorite thing and I'm SO happy that I found these them!! I'm 5'0" and 215 lbs with a bit of a tummy and usually wear a size 18 short. After hours of research looking for a pair of leggings that look like jeans and reading tons of review reviews, I decided to get these in 3XL.

Note: I don't wear anything high-waisted and I fold down the waistband of everything that I wear because I like to wear pants and skirts on my hips because that's more comfortable for me.

These jeggings fit my legs nicely and the waist is loose. FYI this never happens to me, usually with everything I try on the waist is too tight and hurts. The waistband came up really high but because it is so loose, I was able to fold it down over my hips quite comfortably and wear it there. So regardless of whether you like to fold down your waistband or wear things at your natural waist, I think you'll enjoy these. Also, the length is fine for me - they're not too long and there wasn't a ton of bunching at my ankles.

These pants are super comfy and they look like real jeans. I love jeans but have such a hard time finding a pair that fits me properly that I basically stopped wearing them. With these jeggings though, I can "wear" jeans and dress the way I want but it feels like I'm wearing a regular pair of leggings! I wore them to work on casual Friday and got complimented on my outfit, so they definitely can pass for jeans.

I think the 2XL would have fit me fine too but I'm going to keep the 3XL because I like how loose the waistband is on me. If you're shaped similarly to me and wear things at your natural waist, I'd suggest that you get a 2XL.
