A V-shaped seam at the front of the waist draws the eye upward and inward, so the middle reads defined and the line through the hip stays long. The high rise sits flat against the body and holds steady through forward folds, lunges and long stretches on the mat.

The nylon and spandex knit has a smooth face and enough give to move with you, then return to shape. A solid colour keeps the look quiet, so the pair sits easily under a cropped top or a loose tee.

Wear them to a morning class, a session in the gym, or with an oversized shirt for the walk home. The high waist gives coverage through the midsection, and the close cut through the leg suits those who prefer a streamlined line.

Sizing runs small against US and EU charts, so take the larger option if you fall between two. Allow 2-3cm of difference from manual measurement.
