These are very soft, stretchy come in great, rich colors, and have a little lower rise (not dramatically so) than the other brand of (identical looking) tights I purchased. I found these to be very flattering, and not see through at all, and go with a many different outfit options (in addition to workouts). The only downside is that they have to be handwashed, and are warm and fuzzy (great for colder climates-not so much in FL). But all in all, great purchase, would definitely buy again, and will be especially useful in fall/winter.
