I love the loose fit of these pants, and the volume of them. They look sort of like a skirt on. The waist is soft and adjustable elastic. The pants are versatile and comfortable, but lightweight and perfect for hot weather. They did arrive quite wrinkly, but I sprayed them down with wrinkle release spray (I hate to iron) and that worked beautifully to get the wrinkles out. Overall these are very nice quality pants and if you’re thinking about it, I recommend. They are also a great length for me at 5’7”.
