BUKO posted a review just yesterday; “Love the leggings. The leggings are the best ever. I have four pairs now. I wish there were more colors.”

I have lots of leggings. Especially during Winter in New England, I wear them with bulky, comfy sweaters and boots.

The No nonsense Leggings are very nice. I have the light denim in Medium.

They are packaged as all their leggings are (see below – I pulled this image from riteaid.com. It’s a different style legging, but the same style packaging) and I didn’t know if I could take the packaging apart to try them on so I took a guess on the sizing and it was the right one. I went a size up. The packing sizing chart indicated my pant size to be a Small but the Medium is perfect for me.

No nonsense leggings

I like the faux front pockets and fly. I never wear leggings with a short top so it’s good not to have a belt or button bulge under my long top or sweater.

If you are a leggings fan and shopping at Rite Aid or WalMart or online at No nonsense, try a pair. The price is right at $17, lower depending on where you shop.
