I love these puppies: they're soft, comfortable, and multi-functional. While they aren't as loose-fitting as they look in the picture, they're nice and stretchy and do flare nicely at the hem, and the waistband is very wide and doesn't dig in at all. Also, I usually wear a size large in bottoms, and these fit like a true size L. I ordered them intending to use them for exercise but they're so comfy that I can see using them for PJ bottoms -- yet the black ones are also nice-enough looking that I could see wearing them out to run errands when I just want to be comfortable. In short (see what I did there?), these are a great buy -- and I'll be buying more of them!
