These leggings are incredibly comfortable and very good quality. The mesh up the sides of the leggings are very strong, no need to worry of any tearing. It's not like the material from fish net stockings at all. It's a very strong mesh material. The red behind the mesh comes through beautifully and is not overpowering in any way. It just makes the leggings look elegant in a way. It adds a nice classy look.
