I love the high rise for my pooch! These fit very well and look very nice. It’s usually difficult for me to find pants that fit my thighs and butt but these have good stretch and rolled right over both smoothly. They are more of a matte finish; not supper shiny, and they have functional pockets in the back and fake pockets on the front. I’m gave them 4 stars because the are a bit loose in the crouch, but otherwise, an absolutely great purchase!
