“I love this pair of flare leggings! My true size XS fits me very well, being close to the body but not overly tight. And the 31” inseam is pretty good for being 5’1”, but I need to wear it with platforms to not touch the floor. The elastic seam in the back really enhances the glutes in a natural way that is beyond flattering. But If I could change one thing, it would be for the flare to come out wider after the knee. I like the illusion of curves that wearing flare leggings give, and a wide flare that doesn’t wrap around any part of the calves is best for that.”
“Ladies, don't hate me for not giving these 5 stars...lol.
TLDR; as comfortable, soft and flattering as these are, I think the size change is too big and would have bought a 3XS and shorter inseam (28-29") if offered. I'm starting to feel like sizing/inseam/length changes are being made to accommodate larger gals which is fantastic, but it's at the expense of smaller sizes.
I'm 5'0", 25" waist, 36" hips, about a 26-27" inseam from crotch to floor, and muscular build. Given the spokesmodels' sizing advice, I am SO glad I sized down to an XXS from my usual XS. The XXS is the minimum amount of compression/hold I usually like from my leggings, although the fit on the booty and thighs is perfect for me. I personally think the sizing changes made to this launch were too drastic; anyone more slender than me would 100% want a 3XS for very moderate compression/hold and I am nervous that if this is the new sizing moving forward, there is no way that Bare II or Pro fabric leggings will stay up on me if not offered in a 3XS or even 4XS (which would by far be the smallest size I've ever bought in any clothing item, regardless of brand).
I REALLY wish there was a 28-29" inseam offered since the 31" drag on the floor even when I have 3" heels on... I sort of scrunch them up under my knees when I wear them out so they don't drag on the ground.
All that said, the fabric is INCREDIBLE and I love the criss-cross waistband; it's so flattering. I'll still be wearing the heck out of these but would love to see more petite friendly sizing in the future!”
“I thought that I was the biggest fan of the OG Sierra leggings, but these knock those out of the park! I mean, don't get me wrong. I am still an OG Sierra fan. However this updated fabric being more stretchy, the glute seam and the fit of these are incredible. I literally wear both the black and dark slate multiple times a week. They’re the perfect flare leggings. I am 4’11” and the 31” inseam is still a bit long so I can wear platform shoes and it look good. I am a true size M and I could definitely stick to the medium or size down for a tiny bit more compression.”
“The sierra flare legging is so amazing! I have been a regular Ptula shopper from the beginning and these leggings are my new favorites! So comfy, the perfect body hugging material (not too compressive) , fit perfectly and so flattering! They were right when they said you can size down from the old Sierras. I was a large in the old ones but a medium in these and I’m in love! Put them in your cart you won’t regret it!”
