Waist hits just right. Ordered size down as recommended. Wish the material was a bit thicker (I prefer a ponte legging with a little trim) but it's a good simple black legging.
I am very pleased with this purchase. I love the wide, comfortable waistband and the fabric is thick and holds its shape nicely. I usually wear Lysee leggings and these are a less expensive option. I plan to order a few more pairs to wear with boots and tunics.
These are the most comfortable leggings I have ever owned. This is actually my 3rd pair that's how much I love them. They do tend to fade quickly but I usually just dye them and they are like new again. The wide waisted band is one of my favorite features.
