This is a fabulous fabric it is not at all shiny and the lycra content is enough to give good shape but not so much that it clings to every spot of “orange peel”. The trouser is cut to be fitted on your bottom and then drop into a straight leg from the thigh. The waistband is wide and flat which is very popular as it gives good shape and is incredibly flattering. Highly functional the fabric moves moisture well and dries quickly. Easy to look after these trousers will wash well and maintain their shape. A quality garment, a medium equates to a size 12. Inseam aprox 33”.
