The lilac color is see through. The color is pretty and the fabric is very soft and stretchy. Maybe the darker colors would be better. I have 2 other pairs of beyond yoga leggings (solid navy and space dye pink) and neither of them are see through. Really wish these would have worked out. They were so pretty and comfy. I had to return them.Nice fabric but when it arrived I could see that the construction was weird at the top. Stretchy fabric, but the top waist seam had been sewn so that it looked and went on like a small. once those stitched ripped out as I was pulling them on, the leggings fit fine. who knows if they will stay up now?aaaahhhh I was so disappointed. I have another pair of Beyond Yoga leggings I got as a lightning deal and i LOVE them. I've been stalking a good sale price on another pair. But these are smaller in general (I'm 5'4" 120lbs and my other pair is a small), plus the rise was super low - about 4 inches below my belly button, resulting in bad muffin top. Have to return.I wear xxs-xs in beyond yoga, and I got xs for these. Very soft and comfy! After 1/2 day try on for house chore, I felt I could do xxs if it was available. However I would concern the see-through if I went size down. Of course I love long leggings, but I'm in the 2/3 or Capri length mood, so I'm happy for the item. I'm getting more while the supply and price last! Good buy!Great leggings! Nice fit! The color is so light that it shows cellulite a bit. Other than that I love these leggings!Fit is perfect and look is very appealing. If you like Alo Airbrushed Leggings, these fit like their smalls. Fit is also similar to lululemon 4. I am pear shaped, 5'5" and 115lbs ordered a small. Passed the bend over test!Great fabric...soft & durable. True to size. Love these and want in more colors!Item tore while putting them on.
