I marked the fit as "somewhat small" because though the pair I ordered fit me I did order one size up. I am usually a 6, occasionally a 4, but I ordered an 8 in these. They fit great in the waist and hips. (5'7-8" ~136 lbs, weight in hips area.) These are definitely a straight leg, slim fit pant though so if you have your weight more in your legs they may not be great. Other reviews mentioned the tightness around the zip off leg area and they were right. Mine don't squeeze my legs just standing or walking but that part doesn't really give and definitely gets tight around my thigh when I crouch down for example. The pants have a little stretch to them otherwise, it's a bummer that the zipper leg is so rigid though because I could see that making this pant not work for a lot of people. Overall I really like the look and fit, but I did take off a star for the zip off area.
