I really love these. They are so comfy and versatile. I wore them to work first, got lots of compliments. The reason for the 3 stars are for the way they gather on the sides. You pull the rope and that's it, no way to secure (snap, tie) at all . Within minutes the pants are straight, then you pull again and it falls again. Very very frustrating. I end up cutting a small whole in the basting fabric for the rope, pulled the rope through there, then tied it off. Didn't have anymore problems.
