I wore these pants to a brunch with an elegant top and had nothing but compliments. The fit is extremely flattering, and the material is slinky and wonderful. They can be dressed up or worn casually, and, they don't wrinkle!! I am very tall and on the bigger side, the length is good and they are true to size, my feeling is they do not need to be purchased larger or smaller. I suppose they might be a bit long for someone very short, but could easily be hemmed up I think. Wonderful pants! I love them!
