I love these tights, but you should heed these two caveats: 1. Believe the other reviewers when they say they're sized very small. I ordered up one size (to an XL from my usual L), and although I can put them on, and they're not uncomfortable, they're SUPER short, and pretty tight. If I ordered another pair, I'd definitely go to an XXL. I'm 5'9" and 160lbs, with an athletic build. 2. Also, I ordered color 003, which shows as an iridescent dark teal. The tights are lovely, but they're a flat metallic turquoise, nothing like the picture. I still love them, but do understand that you need to adjust your expectations and size WAY up.
