If you're thinking of getting leggings, these are the BEST! The wider waistband is more comfortable and more flattering than the thinner waistband on most other styles or brands. The weight of the fabric is also ideal - not too thick and not too thin. The fabric also has "memory", and so doesn't stretch out or bag when wearing. I bought my first pair a couple of years ago, and loved them so much that I gave away everything else I had and got more of these!
