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.

Sizing Incorrect, Weird in the Waist
I ordered what I consider to be my "normal size" (based on the size chart and also the size I wear with numerous other brands), and I ordered one size up, based on the fact that numerous reviewers commented that they run small in the waist. The sizing of these were just weird for me. They fit grea...t in the hips and butt, but the large size that I ordered was about 2-3 inches too small when trying to button at the waist. I'm afraid getting a much larger size to fit my waist would end up being baggy in my hips and butt. With that said, these would probably be great pants for curvy ladies (I don't have wide hips at all), but just be aware the waist sizing is off. Also, I ordered "Petite" because I'm short and usually need a shorter inseam, but the Petite was like capris on me. Everything seemed off with these, for me at least.
These khakis are thinner than I expected but it's a nice summer weight. The waist fits smaller than my usual but I'm hoping it will give as it's 100% cotton.

If you have a booty don't buy these. These are for people who have straight waists and straight thighs. If you have curves steer clear.

They are very nice. Bought them on sale and can't return them. They run small. I am a size 4, but these are like a size 2 or 0. If they were true to size I would rate them with a 5 star. A size 8 would have been great. I don't know what is happening with bottoms in GAP but they are not the size that are in the label. I bought a dress size 4...and it fit perfect.

This is a nice, neutral medium grey. The fabric is soft. The fit works for a curvier figure.
