Leggings are true to fit and size. Love the material as it moves with you during active workouts and the higher waist doesn't roll down. I do wish there was a touch more compression built in to the waist area - the material feels a bit thin and doesn't hold your tummy in, particularly in the lower abdomen which is always a nice added touch. Tough for me to drop a star in rating but I think that it was noticeable enough compared to other products I have purchased to notice it as an extra touch that could make these leggings off the charts amazing. Will say I love the design of the crotch area ...tbh... as it 'sits well' and doesn't leave any girl details shared and that's a good thing. Many leggings don't provide this in cut and quality.
