I really like these tights they fit as expected and they come up high enough on the waist that they're not falling down. they also keep me nice and warm in the winter and Im sure stylish in the summer. they are long enough to my ankles that they don't feel like high waters and they look good with a pair of boots. they ARE NOT, let me repeat they ARE NOT see-through. I wore one pair and I walked down the road and I asked my husband if he could see through them he said no, but just for safety I always wear two pair just for peace of mind. they are made of a strong quality material, not thin like stockings.
