so I received the alloy carson skinny cords. I purchased them as a "jegging" substitute, so I wanted them to be stretchy and tight. They are definitely stretchy, tight, and comfortable. I wouldn't say they are flattering on their own -- at least on me. Your body type might be different, so they could look perfectly fine on you. I will be wearing these with long tops so the "butt flattery" doesn't matter.

That's the problem that I have with skinnies too, they are not flattering on me on their own so I have to come up with a whole outfit scheme just to make them work. I find that super frustrating and I'm starting to feel "over" skinny pants.
metric, I really like them with long tops and boots. I bought these for every day wear, which often involves a pair of ugg boots for around the house or running around.
I know it's not the height of fashion, but I've become less of a slave and more practical lately ;)
