These tummy-control flare leggings are 'super flattering' and just $15 for a few hours

There's no better time than the start of a new season to get reacquainted with your wardrobe's inventory and stock up on any essentials it's lacking. On that note, when was the last time you bought a new pair of leggings? Ah, you're still rocking the faded ones you've had since ... who knows how long? Might be time for an upgrade, and we found a super-flattering option that's affordable and epically comfortable. Shoppers say Sunzel Flare Leggings are ultra-soft and hug them in all the right places (while binding them in none) thanks to the clever cut, tummy control and flattering flared silhouette. They also happen to be marked down to as little as $15 (from $30) thanks to an Amazon Lightning Deal, but only for a few more hours.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

These flared leggings are a hot buy at Amazon at up to 50% off. Our price trackers tell us they've never dipped lower than this, and while prices vary between colors and sizes, many are available for just $15, meaning you can stock up for way less. Since this is a limited-time lightning deal, it'll disappear once it's 100% claimed, so you'll want to scoop 'em up quickly.

Why do I need these? 🤔

Fans say these leggings are soft against the skin, have just the right amount of stretch and offer light support in front. Made of a silky nylon-spandex blend, the smooth leggings are easy to slip into and don't reveal too much, shoppers report — whether you're working out or doing chores, they stay in place and keep you covered.

A crossover waistband and V-seam add interest and contribute to a flattering fit. But what really impresses shoppers is the way they sculpt legs, lift the bum and accentuate the waistline.

What reviewers say 💬

Shoppers can't stop raving about the fit of Sunzel Flare Leggings, and over 18,800 have granted them five-star ratings.

Pros 👍

"I'm always skeptical when buying clothes that aren’t from name brands — mostly because the picture always looks different than [when it] arrives," admitted one reviewer. "But I have been happily surprised by these leggings. They are super soft — the quality reminds me of the leggings I get from Costco. They're a buttery-smooth texture that just feels good on your skin. They suck in my tummy area. They have a great stretch."

"They hug my body in all the right places, accentuate my curves and the high-waist tummy control is super flattering," agreed a second shopper. "An added plus, they are squat-proof. Best leggings I've owned, compared to Victoria's Secret and Fabletics — I love love love and will be buying more colors. For the price, you can't go wrong."

"These are my favorite pants," said another customer. "I have them in multiple colors and I plan on getting more. Very stretchy and very flattering. ... Good quality, thick yet breathable fabric."

One happy buyer called the Sunzel leggings "better than Lululemon 100%," adding, "So comfortable. They do not get linty at all and are very breathable but not see-through, so that's awesome. Totally recommend! Fits true to size."

Cons 👎

More petite shoppers should pay attention to the length of these leggings for the perfect fit: "The only problem I have is that they’re very long," said one wearer. "I'm about 5 feet 2 inches and I had to get them hemmed." They added, "That is not an issue with them ... It's more because pants have never been short enough for me. They’re very flattering, they go up high on both sides and hold your tummy well." (Note to reviewer: Next time, get the 28" hem rather than the 30". Long-legged folks: You can go up to 32" or 34".)

The leggings may also not be as functional as some hope: "They don't have pockets," lamented a reviewer. "Not a deal breaker, but a bummer." (Note: There is a version with pockets!)

If you'd prefer a non-flared style, those are on sale too!
