HUE Women's The Original High Waist Stretch Denim Leggings - Comfortable & Stylish for Everyday Wear, Workout, and Casual Outfits

I love these leggings... they look so much like real denim it's nearly impossible to tell the difference just looking at them. The stitching is just like it is on a regular pair of jeans. The back pockets are real (and stretchy, too), but the front ones are fake, and so is the zipper area. It makes for a lot less bulk at the waist/hip area, which is all stretch. The sizing is true, and if not exact- they are forgiving. The inseam is approx 30 inches when new. They fit the legs snug, like leggings should, and they didn't bag out at the knees by the end of an 8 hour day. If you're fortunate enough to not have a muffin top in them, they'd look great with any kind of top. However, for this 53 year old, they look great paired with a tunic length top and a pair of ankle boots. The fabric is soft and stretches easily. It doesn't feel like you're wearing jeans, but it definitely looks it! I bought the Midnight Rinse and strongly recommend washing them separately before wearing- or at least only wash with very dark clothes. I pre washed mine in the sink and the water turned dark blue. I just wore them today, so I need to rewash them, but I'm going to do them in the sink again just to be safe.**Update, the water turned blue in the sink again. It wasn't as dark this time, but I'm still glad I washed them separately. Next time, they're going in with all my regular dark clothes.***Feb 1, 2015 Update: It's been just over 3 months since I first reviewed these jeans. I've worn and washed them (with regular dark loads) many times now, and they're holding up well. No noticeable shrinkage of the waist/hip area, and only a scant 1/2 inch shorter on the inseam. The color (Midnight Rinse) has faded only slightly: they are still a dark inky blue. I've purchased a few other colors and am very happy with all. I highly recommend the Hue brand, and if you keep your eye out, you can find them at discount prices here on Amazon as well as through EBay. I prefer buying here on Amazon for the free shipping and/or returns policy. I bought a pair recently that were sort of irregular, sent them back for a refund and it didn't cost me a dime. As for the irregularity- seeing as I now own 5 pairs of Hue jeans and 4 of their denim skirts and they all look and fit fine, that's not too bad!
