Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging Review

Author's Rating - 8.0 /  10

Top: Lululemon Flow Y Bra, Size 4 (true to size)
Bottom: Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging, XS (true to size)

PROS / Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging is a New York made yoga / workout pant. It is lightweight, breathable and sweat wicking. The mid to high compression fabric is great for yoga and gym workouts.
​
CONS / The mid rise legging with narrow waistband doesn't work for me. It pinches at the waist and felt short on the coverage and support. Although it shapes my legs well, it doesn't lift the butt.

​BOTTOM LINE / Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging gives perfect amount of compression, which is great for muscle support. It is sweat wicking, quick dry and 100% opaque. Unfortunately, the narrow waistband isn't my cup of tea and the legging flattens my butt.

YOGINI'S CLOSET UNFOLD - 
Tarez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging Review

I've known Terez for couple years, but most of its designs and patterns are not my style. Not until recently does Terez come into my radar. The Spring & Summer 2017 collection is very eye catching, especially the Floral Embroidery and Aztec Tapestry. When I saw the Aztec Tapestry Capri on sale at Bloomingdales, I decided to give it a try.

Here comes this week's Closet Unfold, Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging.

1. Size – It is true to size. I wear an XS. For your reference, I am size 4 in Lululemon.

2. Style – Capri legging.

3. Inseam – 22" long. It is my preferred length, which goes right below the calf  (I am 5'2).

4. Front Rise  – 9" medium rise, which is the same as Track & Bliss Into The Moonlight legging (the Closet Unfold from last week). 
​
5. Waistband – 1.5" waistband. Before I ordered this legging, I already knew I wouldn't like it and I was right. It is too narrow for me.

​​Just like most narrow waist and mid rise leggings, it does not hide the muffin top. There is nothing I like about the narrow waistband. It pinches at the waist and doesn't provide enough coverage and support. This design reminds me HPE Oak 3/4 Curve Legging. That said, this is my preference, I am sure it works for others just fine.

6. Fabric – 80% Polyester and 20% Spandex. It is medium to high compression silky fabric. I actually like the feel of the fabric a lot. It covers the needs for almost any exercise, i.e., four-way stretch for ease of movement, compression for muscle support and sweat wicking to keep you stay cool.

7. Design for – I would wear it to heated and non-heated yoga as well as gym workouts. 

8. Cost –  Retail price $75. I bought it on sale at Bloomingdales for $56.25 + tax. 

​​
9. Stitch Seam – Comfortable flat locking seams.

10. Crotch Seam​ – Lined triangle gusset.

​Regardless how much I like the print and the fabric of Terez Aztec Tapestry Capri Legging, I am returning it. It fits weird in the crotch area (bottom left picture), and nor does it flatter my butt (my friend says it looks like a pancake, FLAT). These are minor issues. The main reason I am not keeping it is because of the narrow waistband. It is not comfortable and does not provide enough support. If you don't mind the narrow waist, it is definitely a keeper.
