These are very snug in the leg, as a skinny jean should be. I have very narrow hips and often a too snug skinny pant will be baggy throughout the seat of the pants, very unflattering, and flattens the appearance of my butt - However, while these are very snug in the leg they do fit appropriately everywhere. If you are a very hippy chick with muscular legs then try going up a size; if you're average or have smaller than average hips, order true to size.
I love the cypress green color, it appears as shown in the image.

I have yet to wash these; I can't report on effects of washing.
