PROS / Liquido Wide Waistband Patterned Yoga Legging is super stretchy, breathable, fast drying, and it provides UVA & UVB protection. It is made with thicker EMBRACE® fabric, which is higher compression compared to COMFORT®, for better support.

CONS / The waistband fits loose on me. Although it offers extra coverage, it doesn't "hug" me well. According to Liquido's website, the wide waistband legging is the same length as the patterned legging, but it is actually 2.5" longer.
​

​BOTTOM LINE / Just like other Liquido's leggings, the Wide Waistband Magic Sequin Patterned Yoga Legging is soft and stretchy. It is breathable and moisture wicking. In term of style, I prefer the regular patterned legging over the wide waistband one.

​Liquido is a Brazilian based company, launched in 2001. It started as a family owned small shop in the Brás neighborhood in São Paulo, Brazil. Through word of mouth, the company reputation soon grew and opened several stores in São Paulo. As Liquido continued to grow, the family invited other entrepreneurs to join the brand. Today, there are over 80 stores in Brazil with two online stores in US and Australia. You can also find retailers carrying Liquido clothing worldwide. Besides its high quality products, regularly releasing limited edition prints is another reason that brings customers back. Some prints can be so popular and sold out within a week or two. I own many yoga leggings from Liquido, but I haven't shared most of them because they have sold out. I prefer to share the items that are still available. Well, that is just to show you how popular Liquido yoga leggings are.

​Magic Sequin Review

Before reviewing the Wide Waistband Patterned Yoga Legging by Liquido, I would like to share a story. I ordered this legging during Memorial weekend sale (end of May), but I didn't received it until four weeks later. Why? Because I provided the wrong shipping address. To be exact, the street number was wrong. As an example, my stress number is 123, but 132 was provided instead. What a careless mistake! Luckily, there wasn't such address, so the package was returned to USPS. I contacted USPS to correct the street number the day after the package was returned. Sadly, the mail man still tried to re-deliver to the wrong/non-existing address. I wondered if USPS actually updated my address. Anyway, after the package was failed to deliver at the second attempt, it was returned to the sender. Nice enough, Liquido was willing to resend the package to me with correct street number. After waiting patiently for four weeks, my lovely leggings and a sport bra finally arrived. 

Let's take a closer look of

This is one of the behind the scene pictures. I use iPhone to control the camera remotely during photo shooting. This picture was captured before I was ready to put the phone away and I decided to have some fun.
​1. Size – I wear size small and it's a perfect fit. Liquido only sells size small, medium and large (no XS or XL). For your reference, I wear Lululemon size 4.

2. Style – Full length wide waistband legging.

3. Inseam – 26.5" long. It is about 2.5" longer than the patterned yoga legging. I am a little disappointed with the length as I prefer mid calf or ankle length. The legging is longer than I like and can be worn over the heel (I am 5'2").

4. Front Rise  – 10" high rise. It sits around my navel.
​

5. Waistband – 5.5" wide waistband, which is 2.5" wider than the patterned yoga legging from Liquido.

Normally I would prefer a wide waistband yoga legging, but it is not the case here. The wide waistband does not fit me well. It is loose. You can see from the picture on the left that the waistband is not flat against my belly. For that reason, it felt short on the support. The HUG is missing.

6. Fabric – 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex. The fabric is called EMBRACE®, Note, most of Liquido's yoga leggings are made with COMFORT®. Although EMBRACE® is thicker and gives more compression fit, the material composition between these two fabrics are the same. I do feel this fabric is thicker than other leggings I have; however, other than that, I can tell any major difference.

7. Design for – Heated and non-heated yoga as well as pilates. I don't wear Liquido's leggings to HIIT or gym workouts because of it's low to medium compression.

8. Cost – Retail price $84 and currently it's on sale for $71 online. I paid $46.2 during Memorial Weekend sale with additional 35% off.
9. Stitch Seam –  The waistband is flat locking seam, while the inseams are not. With that said, the legging is still comfortable to wear, except the inseams leave marks on my inner legs.

10. Crotch Seam​ – No Gusset. I wear underwear under the legging, so it doesn't bother me. If this is a concern for you, Liquido may not be a good choice.

The is my second match set of the bra and legging. Lululemon Twist & Train is my first. I really like the Magic Sequin pattern. Since all the prints from Liquido are limited edition, I couldn't pass the bra, especially when they are on sale. For the Ella Bra in Magic Sequin, I also wear a small (I am 32B) and it fits comfortably. There are slots for inserts, but it doesn't come with pads. I am not sure if Liquido forget to include them or it is not supposed to come with the pads. Another sport bra I bought from Liquido does come with the inserts though. Well, I use the extra pads from Lululemon and they work just fine.

After trying the wide waistband legging from Liquido, I probably won't buy this style again.  The wide waistband fits too loose on me and the legging is too long. The regular patterned leggings (3" waistband) provide sufficient coverage and support for me and the length is perfect. These are the two complaints I have. Otherwise, this legging would have been perfect. I regret not purchasing Magic Sequin in the Standard Waistband style.

Where to Buy - 

Liquido Wide Waistband Magic Sequin Patterned Yoga Legging is available on Liquido's website. The print Magic Sequin also comes with two other styles, patterned legging (I should have bought this style) and extra long patterned legging. You can also buy this legging from Northern Star Yoga (a Canadian store). Depending on the exchange rate, it can be cheaper to buy it at Northern Star Yoga (price in CAD).

Evolve also carries some Liquido product.

Amazon has good selection of Liquido legging to choose from as well.
