Hello. I'm a woman. Yes, an adult female human. And I have two pairs of these.
I'm currently in the home stretch of a looooong weight loss journey and bought these with about 40 lbs left to go. I'm a taller gal with thick thighs so I got the Large and LOVED how they fit so I immediately grabbed another pair. The cut is perfect and while some reviewers have complained about the ankle situation, I love where these rest on my lower leg. I often like to push the legs up even higher to make a kind of impromptu capri pant and there's just enough stretch in the ankles to allow it, they stay put but then again I have cyclist legs so maybe it's just my calf meat doing that idk. The fabric is thick, making these much more appropriate for cozying up in winter but not so much in summer. They are exceptionally soft at first but unfortunately like most fabrics of their ilk lose that comfy softness after a few washes, oh well.
Now that I'm almost at my goal weight the Large is TOO large. Yay for me but... Guess I'll need another pair in a smaller size. I'm tempted to skip right past Medium and go for a Small because this cut isn't the kind of sweatpants you get in the big saggy size. Which is also why you end up with that "I'm trudging through a foot of mud and don't want to get my pants dirty" thing happening at the bottom if you're taller than 5 feet. Yes, that's intended. I'm told that's the style now. As an elderly Millennial desperately clinging to my 2010 ultra-skinny jeggings this makes me happy and is what I want.
I wear these mostly around the house and for walks in the neighborhood but they're decent enough that you can wear them to the store. Yes I know we used to agree as a society that we wouldn't do that but whatever, things have changed since the pandemic. Wear those sweats at the store, who cares! The cut on these makes them look slightly less slobby than the big shapeless sweats you wear when you're healing from a breakup and don't intend on seeing another human for at least a month. They're still sweats obviously but not as... sweaty.
If you are, like me, an adult human female with a generous backside who is still living in 2011 and will never give up her skinny jeans, go ahead and give these a shot. Size down, they do run big.
