UNIQLO Jegging Review for Plus Size

Four years ago I road tripped up to New York with a friend. She explained to me that one of her friends, John, always wore the best fitting pants. It is a really weird descriptor for a person, but I took one look at him and fell in love...with his pants.

We headed to Uniqlo and I was really nervous that nothing would fit. All the clothing was so perfectly tailored and fitted, which normally means bad news for me. Looking for clothes in "straight size" clothing stores is a constant theme in my life. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't... Imagine looking at beautiful, pressed clothes on the hanger and looking in the mirror and seeing a twisted roll of clothing pinching you, probably above or below your chest depending on how determined you were. I just don't understand why companies make clothing for large audiences but don't include a wider range. 

So I was very surprised when I found Uniqlo's x-large jeggings fit! And fit pretty well! I was running around grabbing every different color and fabric in a frantic.

It wasn't until this year that I was able to purchase some more. The style is different, they took the drawstring away in favor of an elastic waist. I think I preferred the drawstring tbh. They were on sale for $13 (originally $20) and I bought 4 pairs. Two black trouser leggings, one faded black jegging and another in a true blue color. I am a size 14-16, so I am surprised they fit. Though, the different materials and washes fit me differently.

Pros:-extremely skinny
-jeans are fairly thick fabric
-back pockets
-different colors and fabrics
-free alterations

Cons:
-not good in the dryer
-not good for short shirts 

-rolls sometime
-might not fit people with bigger backsides
-not good for most sizes over 16
-not in a lot of locations...yet!

P.S. my shirt say "no nos puede deportar a todos" :)
