I bought a size large like the reviews said to do since I am usually a size medium. (Size 7/8 in pants) and these fit just fine. They are a perfect length on me (5'6) they look great with a loss tunic but I would never wear them with a tight fitting one BC they kinda give a little bulge. I wish they were a little loser in the waist but they do come up high to like my belly button. Anyways I like them a lot. Great quality.
