Silver metallic leggings - leggings discontinued by Espiral - review by funluvinmama

My favorite thing about these? Well, I don’t know what it is, I guess that I would have to say that it is the variety of ways to wear these. You can pair them up with just about any outfit. The reaction I got was the opposite of what I thought I would get, and everyone who saw them made a negative comment about them. I guess there wasn't anything sexy about these. I wore these leggings under a long sweater. You could also wear them with a skirt or any way that you want. Inside these are soft and smooth, but the outside is kind of scratchy. When you walk, the legs rub together and make noise. It isn't loud, but it is an annoying scratching sound. They don't breathe and you do get hot and sweaty.

The biggest problem that I had with these leggings was that they kept sliding down. Every time I moved, I had to pull them up. You also have to be careful what you sit on. I sat on a wood chair and my pants stuck to it. Every time I moved they got pulled down. The stitching is not the best either -- I only had them on for an hour before the seam on the inside of the leg came undone. It wasn’t long before the silver color started to rub off the inside of the thighs of these leggings.

These are made out of a polyester/spandex blend. They do not stretch as much you would think that they should being they are spandex. The washing instructions say to hand wash them and let them air dry. You cannot iron them, but I don’t remember them really wrinkling.

I ordered the XL size as I usually wear a size 16 jeans. They fit snugly without being too tight. The thighs were the tightest part of these. the waist fit just fine and the bottom of the legs was a little loose on me. The waist band sits down on my hips, it is not high waist but not really low rise is me. Bottom cuffs sit just below my knees, I am 5ft 2in tall. The sizes do run a little small.
