I have purchased two different pairs. I originally bought black and recently bought a white pair. I feel very comfortable wearing this pants. They do not cut in to my waist/stomach. It's nice because you can dress them up or wear casual. I have also purchased 2 pairs of the long shorts. Much better than any pants that button or latch. they don't stretch out too so you can wear again before washing. I purchased a size 12 and they fit great.
