These leggings are even better than I expected. They are thick enough to wear with just a sweater or tee and they have awesome compression without looking like athletic wear so you can wear them to the store or to the gym. I am 5'3" and 125 lbs and got a size small, which was perfect. They would work for someone taller too though. I even ordered a second pair as soon as I tried them on because I loved them so much. I plan to wear these everyday. I wish they also came in dark grey for another option.
