I bought these leggings for several reasons: 1) I was looking for something khaki colored to wear with dark brown boots and dresses during the winter, 2) these are high waisted, which I thought might act as a control top, 3) they're fleece lined, which I thought would be nice for extra warmth, and 4) they've got great reviews. In some ways they fulfill my needs and expectations, and in other ways, these are a miss. These are definitely not the best leggings I own (I'd give that award to Hue), buSee full review
