Teeki Review: Elephant Love Leggings

My first Teeki purchase ever was a pair of their Northern Lights leggings. I loved the ombre sky against the silhouette of Evergreens. At that time the leggings fit loosely and I didn’t reach for them much, so I ended up selling them. Fast forward 5 years later, I decided to buy a pair of Elephant Love leggings in Medium. Although I gained 10 pounds, the leggings still fit loose. I normally wear a size 6 in Lululemon for sizing reference.

The print though is so magical! The elephant and roses against a striped background make the leggings look mystical and just gorgeous.

#1 Size: Teeki advises that you size down. I purchased my ever first pair of Teeki leggings in a size medium. They fit at first but after two wears, they stretched a lot and I was no longer able to fit them. I definitely needed a size small. In this review I purchased a pair of Elephant hot pants in size medium and had the same experience years later (and at a size bigger).

#2 Style:  Teeki makes hot pants (long leggings), bell bottom pants, capris, shorts, tanks and bras.

#3 Inseam:  A 26″ inseam provides lots of breathing space for your ankles. I am 5’5″ for reference and wear the leggings over my heel.

#4 Rise: Teeki pants have a high rise sitting just below the navel.

#5 Waistband: Teeki’s have tall waistbands measuring 4.75″. The waistband is stitched together at the back of the pant. The waistband does fit a little looser than I prefer. It might be tighter in a smaller size. The tall waistband can be folded over for a low rise fit.

#6 Fabric:

• Fabric Content: 79% recycled p.e.t. and 21% spandex
• Fabric Feel: The fabric feels soft, brushed, and thin. I would compare it to Niyama Sol, another leggings brand that I totally recommend. Read my Niyama Sol reviews here.
• Fabric Performance
  • Teeki pants have generous stretch so be sure to size down.
  • Leggings have four-way stretch so that it contours to fit the body like a second skin.
  • Due to the nature of our printing process, slight variations in the color and placement of the print are expected from pant to pant or among the same or similar styles. This is normal and does not impact the quality of the design.
  • They’re quick drying! It took about 3 hours for my leggings to fully dry on a rackT
• Opacity: The fabric is white backed but Teeki guarantees they were manufactured to be opaque. Even though the leggings are opaque, they do slightly stretch to white. It is not noticeable from afar and in photos.
• Eco-Friendly: As part of their eco-friendly processing, they don’t perform any kind of pre-washing or silicone washing. This saves precious water and eliminates chemical runoff.
• Fabric Features:
  • Due to their organic process, you may notice slight variations from pant to pant.

#7 When to Wear: Teeki can be worn casually, for working out and lounging around. The fabric is very soft and comfortable. I have a pair of Teeki joggers that I wear constantly around the home.

#8 Cost: Teeki leggings are reasonably priced at only $72. I’ve included some coupon codes below to save you some money on Teeki apparel.

#9 Gusset: Teeki pants have a double-layered, diamond-shaped gusset.

#10 Stitch Seam: Teeki leggings are created using flat seams throughout the pant.

#11 UPF Protection: Not disclosed.

#12 Made in Los Angeles, USA!

#13 Care Instructions: Teekis love to be hand washed in cold water with eco-friendly detergent and hung to dry. I use a drying rack like this one. With these care instructions, you can ensure your Teekis will last a very long time!

Should I Buy Teeki?

Yes, you should! If you wear a size 6 in lululemon (like me!) definitely go for a size small in Teeki. The fabric is comfortable and the prints are gorgeous and magical. Definitely try them out!

They also offer FREE REPAIRS for 6 months after purchase. Photos of the damage must be submitted prior and they will offer you a complimentary return label if it qualifies for any repairs.
