|
Pear Very Good |
The steep taper in the waist fits those with a smaller waist and larger hips really well, and doesn't leave that dreaded gap on the waist band from being too loose, while not being so overly compressive that you can't breath. The knit of the fabric is tight, to give the ribbed effect, and tapered into the calf to fit even the smallest of ankles. |
Size up if you can be between 2 sizes. |
|
Apple Good |
The steep taper in the waist, along with only regular stretch, make it a good fit for Apple body shapes. Because of the low stretch in the legs, and regular stretch in the waist, you'll have either an overall compressive fit, or relaxed depending on if you stay true to size, or size up. |
Stay true to size if wanting a more compressive fit. For a more relaxed fit, size Up |
