The pants are baggy....in an age where kids only wear skinny jeans, tights, or ripped jeans, these baggy pants did not go over well with my daughter...they are very dark navy blue almost black, but its still within compliance for the school uniform, so no complaints there...we tried a size 16 before this and it was incredibly tight around the thighs. So we went up to this size 18 and its very baggy, not te best fit, but it works. Perhaps a wash or two will shrink them down a bit.
