I wanted a pair of pants that I could wear on cooler summer days. The fabric was just what I was looking for. It It contains 1% spandex, which gives it a comfortable feel. However, these pants run short. I am about 5 ft 5 and a half and these pants hit at my ankle. Perhaps it is the current style but I prefer my pants a little longer. Additionally, there is a low rise. These fit two inches below my natural waist. I prefer my pants at or slightly below my natural waist. A low rise is not the best fit if you carry any weight in your belly.
