These have great fabric, but I have large thighs (major pear shape).  I could weigh 100 lbs and I would still have thighs!  HA!  Well, based on where these hit on the model in the photo I had a presupposition of where they would fit on me.  I was right.  They really hit at the largest part of my thighs.  I did find a pair from another manufacturer that hit lower (without looking manly) and I love them!  These, though, are best on a thinner leg, in my opinion.
