High waisted, no center seam, seams down each leg in front. Very snug. These are the faux patent leather leggings from Spanx. These are super shiny but they do have a crinkle effect like real leather. Get ready for the compliments to roll in! I wore these once and to take pictures but that’s it. They just aren’t for me. I’m 5’10 & these are a great inseam. 💕
