As most other reviewers have said, these run very large. I knew this going in and got these for my daughter who is a nurse and usually wears an XL. Other than running big, they're actually really nice quality scrubs. Theyre cut a little more slim through the thigh and widen out near the bottom and could actually pass as a dress pant, which works great for her. They have an elastic waistband with an additional drawstring tie. Nice roomy pockets for her daily necessities. Overall, very pleased with these.
