Love the stretchy material and deep color of these leggings. The detail stitching give them added style and the pockets make them super functional and give them more of a pants feel than a legging. Zero buyers remorse with these! I am 5’9” and 150 lbs i ordered a medium and they fit perfect. They are even long enough.
These leggings look well made and the color is great. But they are seriously tight in the legs. I usually wear a size small (I’m 5’7 and 128 pounds) but could barely get them on. Size medium was still super tight. Finally size large fit in the legs but I had to take at least 3” out of the waist. Luckily I can sew and now I’m going to live them.
The sizing seems to be off… I usually wear a Small, but could barely fit into them. Medium was better but still super tight legs (and I’m skinny). Finally got a Large which are still pretty tight in the legs but way too big in the waist. I’ll just take them in since I can sew and otherwise they look like really well-made pants. Great color too.
TLDR: I will keep them because these are thick and seem very warm. Seems true to size and not run small On the advice of others, I sized up to XL and they are way too big. I have skinny jeans more fitted than these leggings. I normally wear a medium or large depending on the brand and fit. These are indeed high-waist like no other leggings I have ever bought. The legs are also very long which is not apparent in the photos since the model is wearing socks and boots. I am 5'4" and the leggings bunch at my ankles. Between the length and the loose fit, these look more like slim pants than leggings. The legs were not tight and I imagine a large would have fit just fine. My calves are normal-- not scrawny nor excessively muscular. As I noted, I will keep them because I planned on wearing them next week and I can't get a smaller size in time. The looser fit is probably more forgiving and flattering; I take loose over them being see-through. They seem very warm.
I bought these as a Black Friday deal (they’re cheaper now!) and I’m really pleased with them. I have worn them on a couple mile trek in chilly Chicago weather and they are warm and easy to move in. I have a circulatory disorder and am very sensitive to the cold. Every wool, poly, smart heat type of fabric I can get my hands on, I will try. There’s are great! I wore them to physical therapy and the chiropractor and they were easy to move in and do my exercises and stretches. My PT even asked where I got them! I saw the reviews that said to size up, so I got a medium. I have been a size small, size 4 most of my life and was worried they would be too big. I am pretty active in them, so I like that they have good stretch. I’ve always had pretty lean legs so I didn’t find much difficulty getting the legs on. A little gaping around the waist but that’s gone when I’m eating, drinking, and moving around in them. I wouldn’t wear them alone for long periods outdoors in under 30 degrees. But anything above that they are very warm. If they had another color then I’d buy a second pair!
