I'm 43, 5 ft 7 in, about 160 lbs, smaller & straight through thigh & buttock region. Although I'm tall, my height is in my legs resulting in a shorter waistline. These high waisted leggings are awesome, even for one size fits most. Due to my shape, I prefer high waisted things. I live in Phoenix & wore them today while doing house work & some yard things (it's over 100° during day). Despite "heavier" feel of legging, would describe as more uniformly dense with nice even fabric fibers, were quite breathable & supportive while hustling around even with me sweating & managed to hold their shape and the waist did not roll down. I hope they hold up after a light hand washing. I will buy more colors & the black ones when they are in stock. Although they may look small out of package, they have nice stretchablity, could form to most shapes. If someone is thigh/buttock heavy, these might not give enough comfortable fit. Need more high waisted legging options through the store.
