I totally agree with the people here that say they used to love these pants but no longer will wear them since they changed.  I noticed in a local store they were a bit different and decided I better try them before I buy.  Thank goodness I did.  I hated the way they look on me and they used to be my favorite pants for wearing to work!  I very seldom buy pants with a lot of stretch because I'm not a young chick who wants to be poured into my pants.  I just want trousers that look semi professional which I won't be embarassed to wear to work.  These won't work any longer for that purpose.  Buyer beware.
