VERO MONTEWomens Opaque Fleece Lined Tights Colorful Warm Winter Thermal Tights

I'm tall (5'10", 178cm), but quite skinny (145lbs, 65kg). I ordered the Blue (Height: 5'6" - 5'10" / Weight: 140-190lbs) tights, but these are really quite large. There is a lot of elasticity / extra material and slippage in the tights, such that they often bunch up around the joints (foot, behind the knee, inner thighs) no matter if I am sitting, or standing from a sitting position which can get annoying and uncomfortable. I can pull the tights over my bust and still have the same issues I just mentioned.Don't get me wrong, I can tell that they're very good tights and the quality is very decent. I just wish that the sizing information were more accurate. Really not meant for tall skinny girls like me. I would honestly ignore the height, and go by weight only. Prefer the smaller size.In terms of the product matching the description:* "Elastic waistband flattens your tummy for a trim look." - Nope, it does not flatten it at all. There is zero compression. Too much material.* "Lined with soft fleece, offering solid coverage from toe to torso & thick enough to warm you up in cold weather." - True to an extent! They're warm and fleecy, but in 10-15C weather I can feel the cold a tiny little bit. I imagine it would be worse the colder it gets. Will have to wait and see (not yet winter in Australia).* "These footed tights will comfortably hug your legs with their stretch-fit, won't bunch up or sag." - Nope, they're a bit too loose and they definitely do bunch up and sag.* "Elastic waist for added comfort & ensures the tights stay up without slipping down." - True, the elastic does hold them up well.* "The smooth tights won't cling to your clothes & are not prone to pilling.” - It does pill, refer to attached photo. They haven't clinged to the stuff I've tried on.5-stars for packaging though. Solid cardboard box and easy to take out.

Absolutely love it, will definitely buy from them again!

Lovely tights and very warm. I'm 5' 4, and there is a tiny bit of extra length, but they are otherwise a perfect fit. I took off a star because one week after wearing them, I noticed some fraying of the fabric in one spot near the ankle. It's possible the fabric frayed because it was in contact with the top of my bootie. Since then, I've washed it multiple times (gentle in a garment bag, air dry), and the fraying does not seem to have spread, so that's good. While I'm slightly disappointed in the fraying, this is overall a very good quality product. I would buy it again, and I plan on wearing these frequently throughout the winter.Update: After initially giving the product four stars due to the small amount of frayed fabric, Elizabeth from Vero Monte contacted me promptly and sent me a replacement pair of tights. I was not expecting this level of amazing customer service and have changed my review to reflect this. I would certainly not hesitate to purchase products from a company who clearly values their customers and will go out of the way (in my opinion) to make them happy. Thanks Elizabeth!

(Note: black on the left is Vero Monde's 5''7"-5'11" fleece lined tights. The navy blue on the right is Vero Monde, same size, but in "modal cotton")The good: it's extremely soft and thick. I can tell these will be excellent and keeping warm during the winter.The bad: they completely messed up the pattern when making the "taller size" (5'7"-5'11"). They added extra length, yes. But the problem is they added that length to the top of the waist and, rather than the legs portion. How do I know this? Compare the length of the crotch in the photo I included. You can see the difference in how low the crotch is between the two pairs. The navy blue modal cotton pair is sized correctly for taller people, because the extra fabric length was added to the LEGS to fit longer legs. The black fleece lined pair was made incorrectly because rather than adding length to the leg portion to make it long enough to fit long legs, it was added to the top of the waistband instead... So now it just has a SUPER long top portion (it reaches to nearly the bottom of my bra) and has a sagging crotch, because the legs aren't long enough to fit my leg length (and I'm only 5'7", but I have disproportionately long legs). This is very disappointing. If they only fixed this pattern sizing issue, these would easily be five stars and I would buy many pairs for winter. As it is, I have to return them because I can't wear tights that sag in the crotch... Please let me know when you fix this Vero Monde!

Pros:• Seemingly quite durable. Minimal piling after a few washes on warm, tumble dried low•Very slimming through the legs/thighs/butt•Sleek outer and super soft inner from toe to waist.•Keeps you warm between 45-65FCons:•Does nothing in temperatures 40F and below.•The waist band is short and tight, creating unflattering bulges if you have any tummy fat at all or don’t have an extreme hourglass figure. (I am in the mid-range in the size I chose. See details below.)• I had to replace the waistbands with higher yoga style bands (See pics)Recommendations:•If you are at the mid to high range in the sizing specs for either weight or height, consider sizing up. This may help with the waistband issue. (Or learn to sew!)•If you are looking to stay toasty in 45F or less, look elsewhere.•If you live in a place where winter barely exists than these may be perfect for you! :) The material is nice quality at least.I live in Phoenix and bought this for a trip up to Flagstaff where the low was in the 20s and the high was in the low 40s or high 30s.When I tried them on, they were noticeable tighter than I’d expected, but not too tight to get on. I am 5’4/136 lbs and chose the 5’3-5’7/100-150 lbs option. The waist band was big disappointment #1. Short and pinchy. If I didn’t know how to sew on my own yoga waist bands as a replacement, I would have hated these leggings. With my DIY waistbands, they are perfectly comfy and kept me happy on my trip. If I had to deal with the waistband as it comes, I would’ve been constantly self conscious of it and pulling it up.Disappointment #2: They also did not serve their intended purpose. They are not any warmer than a pair of flimsy stretch denim jeans. I went up from Phoenix to Flag wearing them with shorts to test them out. By themselves, it felt like I was wearing regular panty hose and I very quickly layered my jeans over them. I wore them under my jeans for 2 days of the trip and then wore my jeans without them on the third day. I could hardly tell a difference. I didn’t miss them.Back in Phoenix where the highs are in the 60’s, they are perfect. They allow me to sport a dress without ever getting a chill. But if you’re in real cold country, this is not going to fit the bill.
