You have to convince them that they want to be on you, but it's nothing some wiggling around can't handle. They really are like putting on a second skin, but once they're on they look great! I don't have the nicest shape legs so they weren't terribly flattering and every little ripple of second and third arse showed, but at least none of that cellulite! Woo! I'll definitely be wearing them again though. They're for sure the leather look and not that material some manufacturers do of "well let's just make these shiny and hope they pass." These are CUTE! They also fit well length-wise, without having to cuff or bunch of around the ankles too much (5'4" over here).
