I've loved the elation for years, and tried the first iteration of the petite flare a few years ago. I liked those, but they were always a little too short and the flare began too soon. However, this version is perfect-the pant hugs your calf just a bit before flaring out, and the pants are slightly...

Bring back the old elation flare!!!

I have about 4 pairs of the old elation flares. They were INCREDIBLE. Amazing quality and the fit was incomparable to other brands. However, they recently changed everything about them. They now have a cheap, thin fabric. AND now the bottom is "mini flare" (even stated ont he tag) so they're much ...

The fit completely changed

I've purchased five pairs of these pants in the past and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately, the style has completely changed. The fit is different, and they now bunch up behind the knees in a way the previous versions never did. They're just not comfortable or flattering as before. Really disappointed that the design was altered without any notice.

Odd Sizing

The sizing is not right on these pants. I ordered the flare style in my usual size medium. Way too tight. I decided to return and not fool around with attempting to find a larger size.

Love the new flare. Much better than the bigger flare older style, which was way too much fabric from the knee down. This new one is just right!!

They must have changed the powervita fabric, because the texture of these pants is completely different than my other elation leggings and pants. They are not buttery soft at all. Instead they are shiny tight spandex. More compression, not nearly as comfortable as the traditional elation fabric. I am normally a size M but these were so tight I would probably have to order a large, if the fabric didn't suck so much. Disappointed.

I will preface that I did not try the previous elation flare pant so I have no comparison unlike some of these reviews. With no comparison, I feel like these are great pants. Length was perfect, fit was great, waistband sits slightly snug but everything else fits like normal sizing. Flare width also feels normal and appropriate too!

Love the fit and the flair is basically a boot cut.

I usually wear a Small in leggings, etc. at Athleta, so I purchased these in a Small. They are so small and tight that I will have to return them. Not at all what I thought they would be. I may just return them rather than size up to a medium.

Very Different Than Last Model.

Just want to say that this is not the same as those of older leggings. I'm an Icon, so I've purchased many. Also, please Athleta stand up for our Democracy. Many of us look at our purchasing power and make buying decisions on what we see corporate decisions. Our eyes are on you and we have choices!!!

As someone who loved athleta leggings because they come in petite and you can hem them and keep the flare, this new style is so incredibly disappointing. they are far too long and tight around my calf. if i were to hem them they would not at all resemble a yoga pant. please bring back your prior design or people will find flared leggings that actually work for the petite population. unfortunately will be returning and no longer purchasing flared leggings from athleta.
