I ordered these pants for something warm to sleep in when we go camping as it cools down significantly at night here, even in the summer. I had also hoped to be able to wear them casually out and about. However, now that I have tried them on, I can see that they really are only suitable for camping, lounging at home or pulling on when it gets chilly at the beach. They are extremely soft, cozy and comfortable but very unflattering in overall appearance and way too casual even for about town. I typically wear a size XS across brands. I got these in the Small because XS wasn't an option but the drawstring waist makes up for this. If you have the option to size down, I agree with other reviewers that you definitely should as they are cut very roomy in the thighs and rear. However, in contrast to other reviewers, I don't find them to be too long. I am just average height (5'4) and the 31 inch inseam is the perfect length for me when wearing sneakers. They just skim the ground when I am shoeless. I am going to keep these for the purposes stated above, but would not buy them again as they are limited use.
