What customers say:
The tropical slimming pants feature a comfortable waistband and lightweight, breathable fabric. However, some customers reported issues with the sizing, noting the pants ran large and had a bulky, unflattering fit around the hips and thighs. The fabric was also heavier than expected for "tropical wear," and the pockets were too shallow. While the pants worked well for some, the inconsistent sizing and fit led others to return the product.

I wanted to like these pants but the cut is really awkward. They’re baggy at the hips, like riding pants or something. Will be returning.
