These are great. Loose fit, no shrink (washed on warm, dryer on low) waist tie to customize fit. Medium weight fabric. I am a size 12, 56 woman. I bought the XL after reading all the reviews. If I wanted a fitted look/feel I could have gone with the large but I wanted a looser fit but one that didn't sag or fall down. The XL is perfect. It fits at waist above bellybutton (this is where I want it, I could wear lower but the pants would appear baggy and be less comfortable for me).  For clarity, To fit like the picture I would need to go to a large. Length is almost at the floor barefoot. The purple is pretty. Great buy, amazing price
