The wide leg chino pants have a mixed reception. Many customers find the soft, comfortable fabric and stylish wide leg design appealing, with some describing them as their new go-to pants. However, several reviewers reported issues with the fit, noting that the pants ran large and the wide leg was too baggy, especially for shorter or pear-shaped body types. Some also mentioned problems with the pocket lining showing through and the pants not holding their shape well after wear. Overall, these pants may work well for taller, slimmer customers who find the wide leg style flattering, but may not be as suitable for shorter or curvier body types.
Love these pants. True to size and no shrinking in the wash.

I love these pants. I have both the petite length (fits like an ankle cut on me) and a regular length. It is true, as other reviewers have mentioned, that these are not a stiff m

I have multiple pairs of pants from LL bean, all petite size 18. They all fit me the same, except these are wildly tight in the waist. I’m definitely concerned about consistency, e

Fit: A little large
The pants pockets were blue fabric and the pants were white. When wearing them the blue pocket lining was visible. Probably why it was on clearance.

These I bought by accident because If I had realized they weren't 100l% cotton I wouldn't have bought them. But they have made it into my regular rotation.

These fit me perfectly, as other mid-rise pants from L.L. Bean have in the past. The pockets are also large enough to hold my wallet, which is very important to me as well. However

At first the pants were tight, but as I wore them they stretched quite a bit. I now have to wear a belt and wonder if I could have gone down a size. Otherwise, super soft and comfy

Good quality denim, a little tight in the waist. I'm 5'2", 143 lbs and ordered size 8. Not a crop length for me, hits just right.
