I am OBSESSED with these! I splurge on an unlimited monthly pure barre membership and I run so I need a lot of leggings if I don't want to do laundry every 4 days, and I'd rather put my limited funds toward barre than ridiculously priced workout clothing. So, I went to Amazon for affordable leggings:
1. Style:
When I took these out of the package I thought the 4" waistband would be a little weird. It's anything but weird. It's awesome!! It's so comfortable and helps keep the leggings from sliding down and giving the baggy crotch look. It also doesn't roll and get uncomfortable when we're bending and doing ab work in barre class, which is a huge plus. I truly could not be happier with the fit. They stay exactly where you put them when you get them on. There's definitely no pocket for keys here but that would take away from the sleek look of these. But SCREW THE KEYS - for $20 these leggings ROCK. I'll clip my keys on a carabiner and hook 'em on my sports bra. And I should also state that these are NOT cheap feeling or looking. They're thin but not at all sheer or see-through in any way.
2. Fit
I'm 5'8" and a size 2 with a bit of a butt. I got the Small in two different prints (Blue Splish Splash and Seabottom Blue Wingspan) thinking I'd only keep one pair but they're so awesome and so budget friendly I had to keep both. I'd never find anything this cute for the price even on a discount rack. As I said above these don't move once they're on and I just love that. These are perfectly fitting.
3. General / overall
Honestly, I love Fabletics and Lululemon, and of course everyone in barre class is head to toe in that or the Alo brand, but these are SO CUTE and literally a fraction of the price. Vainly, I have to confess that I still feel cute enough in these to show up to the Lulu'ed-out class. I've gotten several complements on the splashy water pattern pair already and I feel flippin fantastic wearing only $20 leggings, looking just as cute, while everyone else is decked out in outfits that probably cost 2 months worth of membership. Boo ya!
4. Bonus
What I've already noticed, and what might be my favorite feature of the fabric of these leggings (the fabric of the Seabottom Blue Wingspan pair was actually a little different but still unproblematic in what I'm referring to) is that on the harsh carpet of a barre studio, these leggings do not pill whatsoever. I've nearly ruined 2 pairs of my cherished Fabletics leggings from the friction on the carpet. The quality of these leggings FAR surpasses what the price might indicate.

They Work For My Need But . . .
I like them - form and function are 5 star - color and pattern are 3 star, so I've given these the average of 4 stars. But I want other buyers to be aware of color issues with viewing these online. Specifically the color I ordered, Amethyst Glaze Ombre Blade Spin, because the actual color is not as bright as pictured. In bright light I can pick up the purple color, but under normal daylight lighting (indoors) these read more of a burgundy with a black pattern. The color still works with the top I planned to pair them with so I will keep them, but I do want others to know that the Amethyst Glaze Ombre Blade Spin color is NOT as bright as pictured and does not have as much of a distinct difference between the two colors as is pictured. Whats more - the pattern is not as randomly placed as the pictures pair - that means the pair I received has all burgundy in the top and the purple is almost side-by-side on the knee area of both legs.
