These really add impact to an oufit. I love wearing them to work to jazz up my outfits. Some people said sizing was inconsistent, but just remember your dealing with patterns that have holes in them, not solids. So I've found that the ones with more open weave patterns seem looser than the tighter weave patterns. They aren't the tightest at the top , but I just wear some control top shorts over them and they stay all day totally fine if Im wearing with a loose dress. Of I'm wearing with a pencil skirt, the skirt itself helps them stay up.
