They have instantly become my favorite pair of pants; where do I even begin?! They are a loose, very comfortable fit and do stretch the slightest bit once they're worn in. I used my regular size for an over-sized look & also own them in a size down for a body-hugging fit. The styling and wearing occasions are endless. I've worn them to work, dinners, hiking, thrown them on top of my bathing suit after a day at the beach, but by far my favorite has been using them at the airport and during my flights. All of the pockets are so useful to organize my items so that I can always be hands-free. Once you purchase one color I'm sure you'll want them all!
