Black metallic leggings - leggings discontinued by Espiral - review by PeachCandy

These stretch metallic leggings from Espiral are super-versatile. They’re perfect for a night out on the town, a special night at home, or for everyday use for ladies that are brave. They have a black metallic foil looking appearance so they can be worn with just about anything. Plus, they look really cute with high heels or boots. They can also be paired with a cute sweater or tunic for winter, or a slouchy tee or tank for spring/summer. You could also use them as part of a dominatrix outfit, a stripper outfit, a Halloween costume, or even with a sexy chemise for a romantic evening at home.

Material/Texture:

Espiral’s metallic leggings are made from 93% polyester and 7% elastin. The material is smooth when you run your hands across it and is moderately shiny. It almost resembles leather from a distance. When you grab the pants in two places and pull them apart, you can see that they are really stretchy thanks to the blend of materials. And, when you stretch them, they immediately bounce back into their original shape.

These pants come in a variety of colors, but I chose black because as they are the most versatile choice for my wardrobe. The pants are solid black in color from top to bottom and are somewhat simple in style. They have about a 2” band at the top that adds some detail and the bottom hem is quite small and not too noticeable.

Size/Fit:

These pants are designed to be worn fitted to the body (almost like a pair of spandex). Because they “hold you in” and accentuate the body curves pretty good, they should be flattering to most body types.

I chose a size small, which would be my regular size in just about anything. I’m 5’3 and about 100lbs with a thin but somewhat curvy build (curvy on top, curvy on the booty, and healthy-thin everywhere else).

These pants fit me pretty well and are really comfy to wear. I do wish they had an extra-small when I ordered these because that would’ve been more fitting for my body type. I chose these though because I have a “phat-ass” (in a good way - according to my hubby) and I was worried my booty wouldn’t fit in the allotted space. I do prefer my leggings super-tight especially something shiny like these. However, they still look totally sexy on (according to my husband) so I’m happy with how they fit. Their stretchy material would allow someone with a couple more pounds and a couple more inches than me to wear them comfortably.

Packaging:

These pants came minimally packaged in a thin plastic wrapping that is completely see-through. There is no writing, no instructions, not even a brand name, so they’re pretty discreet (you can’t tell they came from a sex store). There is a tag attached to the pants that features the lower half of a woman’s body wearing the pants. It’s totally PG, so it’s safe for gift giving.

As far as storage, you could hang these pants in your closet or simply put them in a dresser drawer. They are compact and travel-friendly so you can take them any where you want.

Care/Maintenance:

The black metallic leggings should be hand washed only. The tag says you shouldn’t use bleach or an iron, both of which will damage the material. You will want to hang these or lay these flat to dry – I wouldn’t trust the dryer with these even on a low setting.

I bought these metallic leggings specifically for my new racer corset (also from EF). I thought the combo would look really cute with a pair of metallic black pumps. I was a little worried how the waistband would hit the bottom of the corset, but these pants are just too cute, so I got them anyways.

Turns out, these are the perfect pants to wear with that corset. I’m so glad I got them because they look adorable with it. I have to say, I was definitely the talk of the club when I wore this outfit to a friends race car inspired birthday party.

I’ve also worn them out and about with a slouchy tunic and some cute high wedges, which looks adorable too. Although they are not something I will wear all of the time, they really are a fun addition to my wardrobe. In fact, they’ll probably become part of my Halloween costume this year as well.

These leggings are really comfortable to wear and despite their (known-to-be-hot) materials, they really don’t make you hot and sweaty like you’d think. They do offer a moderate breathability especially when you are walking around in them. I’m really picky about my clothes and definitely won’t sacrifice my comfort for looks, and I really like these pants. I’m also thinking about getting these pants in silver too.

These black metallic pants are SO freakin' hot! I still love my pants and I seriously look for opportunities to wear them. They contour my body and hug my curves perfectly, and I totally cannot believe how comfortable they are to wear. And surprisingly, they are holding up rather well after so many uses/washes.

I definitely going to purchase an extra pair to keep on hand in case something ever happens to these. It sounds crazy, but I really love my pants. My hubby loves them too!
