There are normal leggings—you know, the cheapo kind that stretches out and falls apart after just a few washes (ahem, Old Navy)—and then there's Zella, a.k.a. Nordstrom's in-house fitness brand. Chic and lightweight, these figure-flattering yoga pants feel like a gift from the loungewear gods, helping to sculpt your curves without constricting them. In fact, Zella's leggings feel so incredible, you'll be excited to wear them to the gym, the grocery store or honestly, even just to the couch.

Ready for the best part? As an Icons cardholder with the retailer, you can grab a pair of these beloved bottoms for a sweet discount starting at 9:30 a.m. EST. Don't thank us—thank the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which kicked off today for top-tier card members and opens to the general public on Wednesday, August 19. Want to shop early? No problem. Simply become a cardholder to gain early access to the sale on Thursday, August 13 (although as always, we urge you to shop responsibly).

This mega savings event—which is basically the Super Bowl of fashion sales—ends on Sunday, August 30, so even non-cardholders will have plenty of time to take advantage of markdowns on these and other fabulous finds from popular brands, such as Barefoot Dreams, Veja, Patagonia and more. If it's soft leggings you're after, however, it's Zella or bust, and there are two deals in particular we think you need to bookmark ASAP, because this brand tends to sell out fast.

With approximately 6,700 glowing reviews and an almost perfect 5-star rating, these Zella Live In High-Waist leggings are one of the most sought-after items on the site. These sporty-but-comfy pants, regularly $59, have dropped $38.90 during the sale for a savings of $20.10. Made from a moisture-wicking blend of spandex and polyester, these yoga pants will stay dry during even your sweatiest workout sessions. Not only that, they're fitted with a no-slip waistband, so these bad boys aren't rolling down or going anywhere, no matter how hectic your day gets.

Investing in good leggings is beyond worth it.

"They're perfect," raved Samantha Matt, Reviewed's director of commerce content. "They're great quality, they don’t tear or get itchy and compared to brands like Lululemon, Athleta and Alo, they [come at] a fantastic price."

Another pair of bottoms that we're thrilled to see drop in price are the Zella Studio Crop Lite leggings, which you can get for $35.90—a $19.10 discount from their usual $55 retail value. These don't have quite as many ratings as the Live In high-waist leggings—comparatively, these 4.5-star rated yoga pants have a mere 260 reviews—but both Samantha and Shopping Editor Courtney Campbell swear by them.

Cropped at the mid-calf, these stretchy leggings are made with the same spandex and polyester blend as other Zellas for a combo that prevents moisture buildup and contributes to their versatility. "Love these leggings. Thick enough to hold you in but cool enough for Georgia summer," raved one shopper.

Whether you're a cardholder or a regular shopper who has to wait until August 19 to shop the event, we fully expect that these bad boys will sell out quickly, so we recommend you grab a pair in your size while the getting's good.
