These are the best leggings I've ever bought! Over the summer, I tried them in capri length and wore them all summer without a single change in their shape or fit. So I knew buying them in full length would not disappoint me.
I bought them in three colors and wish them came in ten! I would buy them all. Their waste band is full and comfortable without binding. Their length is long which I love. They bend with you and go right back to their original shape. And their colors are rich and hold with washings.
These are thick, entirely opaque leggings that pretty much eliminate the hint of muffin top that comes with lower-rise spandex. I'm a little taller than average and also long-waisted, so they hit me right at the natural waist--I suspect they'd be even more flattering on someone with different proportions. They are definitely pants-alternative rather than tights-alternative. There is a tiny bit of shine from the Lycra (hence 4 instead of 5 stars), but it's not terrible.
Thick, flattering, luxurious - these are the leggings you've been looking for. I'm 5'5" and the mediums were a little long, but any extra is hidden in boots. I love how thick these are, and the smooth waistband eliminates any "muffin top." These are the perfect legging - will buy more for sure.
