Runs smaller than the Elation High Rise leggings

Love these leggings, like all of my Athleta leggings, but they do run smaller (tighter) than the normal Athleta High Rise Elation Leggings (i.e. non-flare leggings, e.g. the 7/8 leggings or full length leggings). I have lost an itty bitty amount of weight recently, so I am keeping them, but if I had...

Totally Different "Mini" Flare!

They dramatically changed the style of these pants, but they are called by the same name. Even the plastic bag they arrive in says "Elation Ultra High Rise Flare", but the tag on them adds "Mini" before "Flare". The cut is quite different, as the leg is tight all the way down through the calf, then ...

I ordered the elation high rise flare pant in medium tall. I received the "Elation Mini Flare Pant" which is not what I ordered. I want a big flare that flares from the knee! I have a pair that I bought in 2023 that are perfect (back then they were call elation high rise flare, not "ultra" high rise. These are much tighter. Also the inseam is 33" and not 34.5" !! Yikes! This matters when you're 6'0 tall! Is this even the same product? There's no webpage for "mini flare." This is the only flare available which is sad... would love a true flare pant again. My order was sent in 3 shipments, one package is missing and one is yet to be delivered :( These are so expensive for this to not be accurate!

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant

Sadly I will be returning item. It is NOT the original flare elation pant I love. Material feels different, super tight, flare is odd, doesnt start until ankles. I have so many pairs of original and wanted to replace some but not with this. Tag says elation MINI whatever but that is nowhere on item description.

Great pants

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant

The tall size could be a little longer but otherwise great fit, true to size and very comfortable.

They were to small and to short .. I'm 5'9 and 140 pounds.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant

These were too small for me. They fit but like kinda tight I did not like them. I usually wear size 8 NULU from lululemon so I guess these just run smaller? Not sure but I returned them because also they were not long enough for me. They were like half an inch to short and I'm 5'9.

they changed the pattern on these but kept the same name now the pants are tight all the way down to the calf if I would have known that I would not have wasted my money if these were your best sellers why would you change them? Are you saving that much money cutting some material? Now I have to scour the internet for old ones ridiculous.

I like the regular length fit but the petite version fits extremely small. I had to go get my regular version hemmed.

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant

These flare leggings are the most comfortable and fashionable leggings I have ever worn. I will continue to purchase these through the years. They stay in shape and the length is right at your shoe so they don't drag on the ground. I am 5'4" and just perfect.

Totally Different "Mini" Flare!

They dramatically changed the style of these pants, but they are called by the same name. Even the plastic bag they arrive in says "Elation Ultra High Rise Flare", but the tag on them adds "Mini" before "Flare". The cut is quite different, as the leg is tight all the way down through the calf, then there's a flare. The waist sits lower, there's a different "scoop in" angled cut from waistband in back, and the same size is snug, uncomfortable and bunches behind the knee. I should have read and believed the other reviews that were one star. This is deceptive and disappointing. I ordered NINE pair of leggings and pants for yoga and working out, two of them being these, as I thought I'd try new styles but also grab two of my favorites. Nope. I'm hoping the Elation High Rise Straight Leg didn't get changed, as that's the other style that's worked for me before. Look closely at the pictures, especially viewing the lighter gray color and the fuller figure gal. I'm plus size, and it's harder to find pants.
