Yes- they are huge through the legs.  But I thought they were fun.  

I rented these after falling in love with a pair of TOME karate pants that I rented from RTR in the winter. These are a crisp, solid cotton -- not heavy, not light. And like the crepe karate pants I previously rented, they are PERFECTION. They hang beautifully, feel incredibly comfortable, are incredibly flattering and pair beautifully with either a fitted or boxy top. I've worn them for work and also just casually.  In fact I loved them so much that I put them on my ShopStyle list and got alerted when this EXACT pair went on sale on The Real Real, and now I own my own!  (I bought them in medium because the large was a little too big for me by the time I got back down to 150 lbs -- the large fit well when I was 160-170.)

The only thing I'd caution folks about is that the black cotton is showing its wear -- it's just lost its sheen a bit after passing through various hands. The consignment pair I just got are in better shape than the ones I got from RTR.

I got so many compliments on these pants but I spent every day I wore them adjusting and pulling up the belt, which is not attached to the pants. Also, they were a bit long for me so I had to hoist them up pretty high. They look great when standing, but when sitting there is a lot of excess fabric around the crotch area. And I think there was a bit of extra fabric in the buttocks, but I have a bit of a flat bum.

I am a size 4 and the small was a bit large, I may get an xsmall next time. I wore these pants out dressed up with heels and a crop top, and then to work with a sleeveless tank and slip on flat mules. The pants are a structured thick material. They are just different enough to be edgy, but not too out there. Best part-they have huge useful pockets!

So, i am not a pants wearer, i avoid them for skirts and dresses, but i adored these pants!!! Some reviews note that they are big, but thats kind of the point. The legs are so big that they remind me of a chicier version those jnco jeans everyone was wearing in the 90s. Would consider buying!

The belt was annoying but without the belt the elastic waist was kinda unattractive. I didn't think these pants were as big as others said, but I also LOVE oversized pants!  They kinda made me look like I have a belly when my belly is pretty flat, so if you're self conscious about that maybe skip these pants. The pockets are great, I wore them in the country with super tall, wool socks which was soooooo nice. The fabric is this amazing cotton that's got a slight sheen to it. Oh, and although an elastic waist, it was nowhere near snug on my waist - so it was comfortable but also makes me look maybe more like a size 8-10 than a size 4-6 - just saying!  Fun but not the most flattering for an hourglass figure.  

Chic, comfortable, and flattering. So much fun! You could go super sex pot with a crop top or just feel great at work with something else. Shows off your waist but doesn't make you look big, even though they are big!

These pants are hilarious and awesome. There is no zipper, just an elastic waist that sits just above my belly button. I'm normally a size 12 pants and the large fit nicely/slightly oversized, which is the point. At 5 foot 10, most of my height is in my waist, and the pant came down to just above my ankles as you'll see in the pic. The fabric is structured, but very comfortable. I wore these for 15 hours and adored them as much as sweatpants.  If you stand just right, the only part of the Pant that will touch you is the waistband, it's a fun game called "I'm really bored on this conference call, let's see what I can do".   The pockets are huge, need I say more?  You could easily dress this way up for a formal event or sport them around town on the weekend or at work as I did.  Have fun!

I got these with my unlimited and love them will likely get them again. Super comfortable I didn't wear the sash belt because I layered it with a crop and longer lace top that covered the waist. I would wear it in the same combo again. So many compliments and perfect for our work meeting (beauty industry) 

Chic statement pants. Running on the larger size, I'd recommend sizing down. The size small fit, but would have much preferred the size XS. The waistband is stretchy, making the fit easy. The legs have plenty of room as these are meant to have an oversized, culotte look to them. At 5'7" the length hit just above my ankle. Great with chic wedges or slip on flats.
