High Waist-True to Size Casual Wear

By pam2976382 Ranked #215 - Women's Casual Pants March 11, 2009

I really like these pants. I needed some comfortable, affordable chinos and I definately hit the mark with these. They are true to size with a slightly relaxed fit. I am 5'9" and wear a size 10.

I ordered all 3 colors because of the reviews that I read and find that each color has a different fit but nothing too shocking. The Sage color seems to have the longest inseam length while the British Tan seems to have a roomier waist line. The Stone is light khaki and not white as it appears to be online with the same fit as the Sage color except for the inseam. I'm thinking that Sage is a 34" inseam while the others are 33"?

I usually buy pants with a lower rise because I am very short waisted and was surprised at how high the waist is on these. But I think that while hiking and fishing, I'll be glad that the waist is high---no "plumber" issues when bending over or sitting down and no gap in the back at the waist. They're made to accommodate a rounder bottom. The back of the pants have traditional chino slit pockets in just the right place. Did I mention the buttoned "coin" pocket on the front right side? Fantasic! The SPF 15 rating is also a bonus.

Over all these are great pants--well made, reinforced seams and timelessly designed. I look forward to wearing them stylishly for years to come!
