As described. Have a decent inseam so they fit comfortably at the waist. Im 50, 120LB and purchased a Med, which an comfy and comes up over my belly button. The black portion is definitely shear, but the metallic is so present that its not outward. Havent washed so cant speak to the wear and wash. Photo looks camo but its comorfil. Would def wear out, will try during a work out and at home lounging.
