I wanted some pants to wear this winter while exercising at home. I was looking for pants that were comfortable, fit my 58 year old body, and looked good.  These fit well.  I purchased the pants in a size large--I'm 5'6", weigh 142 and wear a size 12.  These sit below the waist, but not too low.  I have enough room, they're not too tight/too long, and they look fine.  I probably won't wear them to the grocery store, but I could go out and get the mail or answer the door without feeling uncomfortable about how I look.  Very satisfied.
