The good things about this pant is that the fabric is really lovely. So soft with a bit of stretch, not too thick or thin. And the cut of the leg is great on my figure. My legs always look like logs in khakis but these are just a bit tapered. If you're looking for a straight or relaxed cut, you may ...not be happy with these. The Chino Beige color has a buttery yellow undertone to it which I didn't love. I was hoping it was more of a Stone or like the New Off White in the Downtown shorts. Sadly I have to return these. Like many posters have noted, the waist sizing is strange. I'm a size 8 and sized up to a 10, which is no big deal. It fit great in the hips and legs. Even the waist fit nicely without being too tight. But the odd part for me is the one to two inches BELOW the waist. It looks like it's pulling even though it isn't. I believe the pattern is cut too tight in that section, causing the pant to pull unattractively in that spot. This is why people are remarking that the waist section is too tight or it's showing every tummy line. Even my husband remarked "what's going on in the waist area?" I really want to keep these. The price is to die for and the cut is perfect for me. But I realize I have to return it until the pattern can be recut differently.
