Top Rated Picks:	Black Leggings Black leggings are still here and as stylish as ever, worn the right way, of course. Even celebs have gotten into the leggings game with their own lines. That's because they know leggings are simply too versatile to disappear. With tunics or dresses, flats or boots, black leggings in a variety of chic and comfy fabrics can be easily dressed up and down. Plus, you can wear them discreetly under skirts for added warm and comfort. Naturally, black leggings also fab for fitness – and new weaves offer terrific antimicrobial properties, anti-UV attributes, and more. Remember to choose the length that’s right for your form and if you’re not in the gym or working out, check yourself in the "rear" mirror to be sure you're not flaunting more than you planned because of the body skimming nature. From capri to crop to ankle to full length, the black legging is a fashion essential for women of all ages, shapes and sizes!

Hopefully Danskin will never discontinue them! -- S. Diamond, New York, NY, NY

It’s not for lack of wear, as I wear these with everything and go everywhere in them! They are comfortable, stylish and go with everything from dresses and skirts to a t-shirt and fleece. I can’t imagine not owning these! What would I wear? --Fire Soul, Vermont

	X-Training Aerosilver Black Spandex Bootleg Pant Style# 9934 I work out at a gym 3 days a week. These are now my favorite workout pants. They are truly comfortable, don't slip, stay dry, & I love the style; long with a little flare. -- Colleen, Marlton, NJ
	Triathlon Crop Running Tight Style# 9789 These crop tights are excellent for spinning, running and weight training. The best thing about them is they're long enough to cover your knees, but the fabric doesn't bunch up uncomfortably behind the knees. They look good, move well and feel great. Nice! --Christina, Brooklyn, NY
	Cotton Stretch Woven Drawcord Pant Style# 9976 I work at home, and like comfortable, stretchy clothes to work in. These pants are perfect -- great fit, nice looking for home and out in the street. Very high quality with sturdy stitching...I'm sure they'll last a long time, which makes me happy because when I like something, I like to wear it for years! -- Amy the Translator, Boston, MA

	Core Cotton Bootleg Yoga Pant Style# 7395 These pants are exactly what I want for lounging around the house, but they look good enough to wear on the street, too. I put them on first thing before I dress for the day. I exercise in them. I watch tv in them in the evenings. They’re becoming my second skin!... -- Black and White, New York, NY
	Cotton Stretch Drawcord Pant Style# 8204 These pants are excellent for travel. They can be dressed up with a crisp cotton shirt or dressed down with a cool white tee shirt or turtleneck… -- Mickey the Lazybones, New York, NY
	Cotton Lycra V-Front Bootleg Pant Style# 2378 Best every day use pant ever. -- Twink, Petaluma, CA
	Black Jeans Classic or modern cut jeans in black can be beautifully dressed up or down. Keeping your hips, height, rear, and midsection in mind, go for a fit that looks best on your body. A bootleg or wide straight leg keeps a shapely or wider hip balanced and creates a longer legline. If you’re slim all the way down, try slipping on those on skinny jeans. But watch out with the skinny look if you are hippy, wider or pear shaped -- they will shorten your leg and highlight any excess weight above the ankle! With all jeans, make sure the waist line is hitting you comfortably, in at the right spot… no bulges over it and no undies peeking out from behind (with lower rise cuts.) The right top is everything, so for carefree days a tee, turtleneck or sweater is just right. On causal Friday, try adding a blazer. For dressy alternatives add tops that are silky, sleek, or have a sparkle or shine. Find some popular top options for your jeans looks below.
	New Team Essentials Turtleneck Leotard Style# 2908 Very high quality. Shapes and enhances your figure. Don't bother with Spanx! This Leotard doe it all! I wore it as part of my "cat costume" on Halloween. But, it is now serving as an essential part of my wardrobe. It looks great with just about anything you wear with it. Buy this one if you want quality. Very comfortable and looks really great. -- Cheryl (moonlightrunner), Waxahachie, TX
	Cotton Stretch Zip Front Jacket Style# 9187 I use this for workouts, outerwear with casual pants on cool spring/fall days and for layering on cold day workouts. The fit is feminine and not boxy/bulky. The fabric washes beautifully and the colors barely fade after many wash cycles. -- Maggie, Boston, MA
	Peruvian Pima Cotton Elbow Length Sleeve Tee Shirthirt Style# 8010 This top is great for early fall layering. I've worn it with a tank underneath and also under dresses to start adding in sleeves for fall. It's the perfect length (a little longer which I like) and a good go-to piece in my wardrobe. Very soft, but a little sheer in white. I've worn it to class and also around town and to the office when layered. Good for travel too. -- Everyday America, Berlin, MD
