Earlier this month, our perpetual favorite leggings brand, Bombsheller, released their spring collection of fresh leggings. This year, the spring theme was all about succulents and cacti, both of which are unbearably cute, and make for some pretty adorable leggings patterns.
Cacti are actually a type of succulent, but many people think of them as two distinct plants. We associate succulents with smaller, fleshy plants with geometric tendencies that love water while we think of cacti as, well, the same except way bigger, even tree-like, and in dry, arid climates.
The folks at Bombsheller have a true respect for these water-storing plants and would describe them as being “sharp, resilient, and beautiful” – do you see where this is going?
SUCCULENCE: NO SOFT PETALS
Bombsheller’s whole schtick is about celebrating strength through creativity, so what make better botanical mascots than succulents and cacti? They’re hearty as hell and drought-resistant. As far as plants go, you don’t get more badass than that. Most of the time, succulents also have a clever, built-in defense system to battle off predators. They’re survivors, you know? And while they might be cute and sweet to look at, they should never be underestimated!
As always, Bombsheller’s leggings are available in sizes XS-6X, so everyone can get in on this collection. For reference, I am a size 12/14 and L is a great fit for me.
These are incredible for just about any situation, work or play. I’ve done months of physical training in my Bombsheller leggings, worn them to events, and lounged around in them. They’re fully opaque no matter how deep your squats are, so there isn’t really a situation where they wouldn’t be a good idea.
The fabric is so amazing. It feels like it’s going to be almost too stretchy, but then it just fits like a goddamn glove. I also like how the 4-way stretch fabric does me the favor of smoothing out my curves without compressing the crap out of them. These aren’t the tight leggings that make your legs fall asleep, you know what I mean? They’ve mixed business with pleasure in the best way possible.
