I would wear these all the time if I could. They're extremely comfy, and the slight metallic fabric gives a more premium look than matte, but without being too flashy. Just the right amount of compression but without being restrictive - so they lightly hug your legs. Despite them technically being sports compression pants, they're awesome as casual wear which to be honest is how I'll use them. A friend of mine commented and thought these were pretty cool, most people otherwise didn't notice or care that I had leggings on in public. I felt a little bit self conscious but nobody said anything bad so if you're worried that people might pass judgement, they probably won't. If you're a little on the heavier side, like me, you might experience a bit of the waistband folding sometimes. But it's not really a big deal and doesn't really detract from how comfortable these are.
