3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing :(

Okay, I must preface by saying that I do really like these leggings. They're super cute and comfortable, and a great length for my body type. I usually have a hard time finding things that aren't awkwardly short on me, but these are perfect. The fit is great as well - it hugs my body, and the waistband doesn't slip as badly as other pants. It has good tummy control, and is flattering on my booty. I wear these most days, as they fit my lifestyle great and are just comfy and nice all around.
Despite all this, it still only deserves 3 stars. Why? The quality is awful!
I'm a student, and I wear a backpack every day. Within the first couple of days of wearing these leggings, I noticed significant pilling on the back where my backpack rests. It's only gotten worse since. I haven't experienced this for any of my other pants, of all types/materials, so it was disappointing to say the least. I brushed it off at first, but other things kept piling up. There is bad pilling between my legs (I have thick thighs), and bad pilling where I had to wear a knee brace for a few weeks. It is pilling elsewhere as well. The crotch ran (like pantyhose) after 2 weeks when I was adjusting the pants, and there are multiple spots all over my legs that have snagged/pulled/ran. These pants don't see super tough conditions or anything, so all of this happened in average life. My pants are looking less and less presentable every week, and I've only had them for 3 months!
As I said, I really like these pants. They check almost all of the boxes I look for in my clothing, but their rapidly deteriorating condition is incredibly frustrating and, in all honesty, not worth the price of them. It's a steep cost for pants that look 5 years old after a matter of months, and I hate that they will only last me around a year of regular use before I have to toss them.
