I'm a lover of anything and every holographic, so when I was going to place an order, these were a must. Much more holographic than some holo items I have, but not obnoxious at all. As another reviewer stated, the fabric is slightly sheer so nude/no undies will be a must, but that's nothing close to being a deal-breaker with how beautiful these shorts are. They are super stretchy and very comfortable, and the fabric keeps its integrity as it stretches. I bought two other pairs of this style of shorts and the sizing is 100% consistent, which I can really appreciate. I am a 28 inch waist (upper-end small, lower-end medium) and got smalls, which are perfect. If your measurements are between sizes like me, go with the smaller size, the shorts will stretch and fit you like a glove with no pinching or muffin topping whatsoever. I would without a doubt recommend these to a friend!
