These pants were an extremely pleasant surprise! I work in a wellness office where I'm often very active (showing patients exercises and stretches, running around the office, etc.), and these pants are perfect- after receiving the first pair I immediately ordered three more! They allow me to look professional and put-together while still being comfortable and able to do the active things I need to do. They're not too tight, while still being form-fitting, and they're slightly thicker than other yoga pants I own, while still being stretchy and comfortable. The cut is perfect- I'm 5'8" with long legs, and these are the first pair of pants I've owned that are actually long enough. The waist is the perfect rise as well. These will be my new go-to pants every day!
