Summer is practically here and we’re ready for our wardrobe to catch up. We need our go-to legging replacements to be cooling and comfy but also to look great. That’s why we’re opting for these AOL-reader bestselling comfy capris. Officially, they are the Gym People Bootleg Tummy-Control High-Waist Capri and they are awesome. We found them last year, sharing with our readers who had them flying off the Amazon shelves. We particularly love how they keep us cool in the sun with the lightweight material and have the hidden tummy-control panel up top that helps us feel tight and tucked in without feeling stuffed.
Right now, you can get them marked down to just $28 (down from $34) for a limited time if you shop soon.

Why is it a good deal? 💰
You don’t typically find pants this comfortable and well-made, with a tummy-control component at this price. These pants are affordable on a regular day but now they’re even cheaper with the current discount dropping them under $30. They are incredibly versatile and can be used as true activewear or as a comfortable pant option for a summer outfit. Available in seven colors, you can have a different pair for every day of the week.
Why do I need this? 🤔
When the seasons change, so do our wardrobes. But that doesn’t mean our style has to change. If you want to swap out your winter leggings for a more seasonally appropriate option, these flowy culottes will do just that. The tummy-control paneling gives just the right amount of support to help you look and feel your best without coming even close to discomfort. Plus, the extra-thick waistband and a stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric make them a great warm-weather option.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 4,500 shoppers love the look and fit of these flowy, flattering capris that hug nicely and cause «no muffin top.»
Pros 👍
«Bought one pair before my trip to Central America, and loved so much I bought 4 more!» said a five-star reviewer. «High waist helps to shape, wicking material keeps them cool and dry even in the tropical heat and they are the perfect length for me (below the knee just enough). Great quality AND they have pockets!!»
«These are great workout pants,» shared another. «They are just the right amount of stretchy. They are high-waisted and provide a small amount of tummy control, so they are flattering. The legs flare, and the fabric is a nice texture, so it feels good when it moves around your legs.»
«Love these pants,» raved a third five-star fan. «My new go-to capris. They’re comfy and lightweight for summer. The design gives me slight tummy control and goes up high enough to avoid muffin top. The pocket placement is great. I can dress them up by simply adding a nice blouse and cute sandals.»
Cons 👎
Some shoppers did not like the waistband. «I would have loved these pants if it were not for the thin, tight elastic band at the top,» revealed one.
Echoed another, «The waistband only has a very thin elastic at the top despite the band itself being very wide.»
«High waisted, but no tummy control,» said a four-star reviewer. «It is flattering, I have thinner legs and it’s not too wide leg. I was just surprised that it didn’t have more tummy control.»
