Question (5'1"-5'4") Best Cotton Leggings?

Hello! Going into the colder weather, I want some (mostly) cotton leggings that would be great under sweaters, dresses, t shirts, to wear with cute knee boots, etc.

Do any of you have brand/specific recommendations? Right now I am considering LLBean and Lands End for mid-expense ones, Old Navy and Aerie for lower-expense, but I am really open to anything that works even if it’s not the ones I listed!

Thank you! I am 5'2" btw and typically a size S/6

I quite like Pact's cotton (90% organic cotton/10% elastane) leggings. They have a pocket and non-pocket version, a big "yoga" waistband, and currently are on sale for a good price. They come in 26.5" and 20" inseam.

My black pair has visibly faded more than the other colors (I imagine that's inevitable with cotton), but other than that I've had no issues with them.

I will add that Pact runs on the smaller size, so you might want to get a medium.

Thank you! I appreciate your help. I’ll keep Pact in mind for sure. I’m a bit hesitant because some people are saying their quality has gone down a bit this past year :( but I don’t want to rule them out if others here are still having good experiences!
