I expected these to have a bit more stretch like their other leggings. I ordered a L. The crackle faux leather print is great and these have great compression in the waistband but I must say in prefer the ones from Aerie. Can’t decide if I’m going to return these for an XL so I have more stretch for workouts or buy another pair from Aerie. I wanted a pair for workouts so I could save my nicer ones for running errands and such. I would say order your true size but if you have hips, thighs and a butt size up one or order two sizes and return which ever size doesn’t work for you. I wish they made these in 7/8 length. If you’re below 5’6 or 5’7 these will bunch up at the bottom.
