These pants are such a beautiful, heavy material that feels durable and soft. I find they fit TTS (for FL sizing) as I am a medium in another pair of pants I bought and find the M fits well (hip 42, waist 32). Although they can definitely be a lounge pant, I can wear them to work with a long cardigan and they look professional. I also love that they're maternity friendly and will adapt to my body over the years. The waist band is nice rolled down, but also super comfy when its pulled up beneath the chest.
