LOVE these pants. I mean, love them like I wish they made them in all the colors. Yes, they are tight, but the title of the product says "compression." That being said, the material is very thick, making these legging more like work-appropriate pants. When I say work appropriate, I do not mean works-with-everything-at-the-office-appropriate. BUT I can definitely wear these to work in a business-casual environment with a longer top (i.e., butt-covering). The waist is quite high, which I really like. And, even though they are tight through the legs, I don't find the waist to be constricting like shapewear. The seams give a nice line.

Pro Tip: Preserve these puppies, and don't put them in the dryer!
