First impression? These leggings feel like slipping into liquid silk. The fabric is insanely soft – I actually wore them to bed and forgot I had pants on. The high waist stays put during yoga flows, though it does roll slightly when I'm bending over repeatedly (like while gardening).

The real MVP here are the pockets! My phone (with bulky case) stays secure during dog walks. They're thin enough for Miami heat but opaque – did a squat test in sunlight and zero sheerness. Only gripe: the length pools slightly at my ankles (I'm 5'3"), but cuffing solves it.

Washed them 5+ times – no shrinking or pilling. The tummy control is more 'gentle hug' than 'shapewear squeeze,' which I prefer for all-day wear. Pro tip: the charcoal gray hides pet hair better than light colors.
