Dear CeCe: Can You Suggest Leggings that are good for smoothing cellulite?

Dolls,

My cellulite and loose skin areas are my thighs and my tummy and while I'm not going to pretend leggings make that disappear. What they can do is smooth it nicely, and these are the ones that actually deliver.

• Soft to the touch — not stiff, not plasticky

• No side pockets, simple seams — anything extra just adds bulk where I don’t need it

• Bends without going see-through — non-negotiable

• Super high waist — I have loose skin and extra fabric in my midsection, and a low or mid-rise just doesn’t hold it the way I need

That’s how I landed on the Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise legging, available in size XXS-3XL.

These actually smooth. These are medium compression, so they’re not going to suffocate you. At the same time…

These leggings don’t budge, bunch, and there’s no see-through stretch when you sit or bend.

That’s probably why I have them in different colors for every day of the week!
