Alo Yoga High-Waist Coast Yoga Capris

The white leggings were very cute, but they were completely see through in the crotch and butt. I am 5'5" 125 pounds and very fit individual, so I don't think the size was the issue, being that they fit the same as all my other size small leggings. I tried nude underwear, white underwear, nude or white thong underwear, and even commando, and at no point would you get away with doing any kind of movement in them without flashing skin and more. I am a personal trainer and work out on a regular basis, so I bought them for that intent. Being that they were a yoga legging, I thought they would provide some kind of expectation that you could move in them freely, but that wasn't the case. I thought about keeping them just for lounging in around the house, but ultimately felt like for the price, I wanted to be able to leave the house in them without giving everyone a peep show. If you don't mind to see your underwear (including pattern and texture of material - even seemless things or panties) through your leggings, or would only wear these indoors under a full tunic, then they are adorable and would be fine for that, but that would be about it. I'd rather save my money and buy more functional leggings than just pants you can only wear indoors around the house.

I have a few other pieces from Alo that all seem to have something about them that isn't right--itchy fabric, somewhat unflattering cuts--but these are just right. They are the first pair of high rise yoga pants I've owned that stay up during practice and don't need to constantly be pulled up. I adore the color and design, too. I have to reserve a fifth star for two reasons: First, I've only worn and washed them once, so I cannot attest to how they hold up. Second, Alo has this bad habit of saying their stuff is hand wash only. I will never in a million years hand wash any of my workout gear (or anything else, for that matter) so we'll see how long they maintain their shape and color.
