These are definitely leggings, with a jean pattern. They feel and stretch like pajama bottoms. Very soft, with lots of give. I was worried they wouldn't fit, I typically wear a size 10-12 jean (depending on brand), but they did. There is a pattern distortion; I got the jeans with flowers on the ankle and thigh and because my thighs are hands down the thickest part of me, there was some stretching of the flowers there. All in all; fairly comfy, surprising amount of stretch for a one size fits all (wouldn't recommend to anyone above a 12 MAYBE a 14 depending on where you're thickest (waist has lots of stretch, calves and thighs less stretch)), and for a fairly cheap price ($9 and change when I purchased).
