Sizing for larger ladies explained
This review is to help women with not classically, perfect figures: I am 5’7” and 67 years old. For reference, I wear about an 18w. I bought these in a 3X, and although I liked the fit at the waist, they were huge in the seat and thighs. When I was younger, I was very wide at the hip, and flat in the stomach, and these might have worked in a 2X. Now I am thicker in the middle, while my hips and legs are much slimmer. I thought I might re-order these in the 2X, and then I took a chance and ordered the XXL instead. The size chart indicates that both sizes would be about the same in the waist and hip. I don’t think the plus-sized pants are cut the same way at all. The XXL fit me in the waist and upper hip area, but they have a much leaner fit in the lower hip area and the thigh. For me - perfect! 😀… But back in my younger days, when I was relatively trim everywhere except my generous thighs and hips… then the 1x or 2X plus size with the wider legs would have been a much better fit than the XXL. Since these are stretchy in the waist, ordering for waist size is not as critical. I know everybody carries their weight differently, so I hope this helps you choose which size to buy.I think these are going look great on me this summer. They were pretty much the right length - maybe 31 inches? I do expect them to shrink an inch or so and I am fine with that. I haven’t washed them yet, but I will probably hang them to dry and then put them in the dryer to finish. I’m not planning to iron these. I like the ecru color I a lot. I’m looking forward to making these into some great summer outfits. I love the fact that these have two back pockets and two nice big nicely-tailored front pockets as well. I hope this helps!

Much better than most
I’m XS, short and thin, and fit is always an issue. These are a tad big but much better than most. They were really too big at first, but I washed and dried them hot, and they shrank enough to be OK.The material is heavier than I like for summer, but probably great for outside S. FL. I expect it will be better here in winter. Another plus: I got beige and white, and they are not see-through.In fact, I’ve ordered another pair to hopefully shrink!They’re not perfect, but they’re fine—especially for the price.

Perfect for Travel – Light, Comfy, and Easy to Wear
I’ve purchased several pairs of Amazon Essentials linen pants over the years, and they’ve become a staple in my summer wardrobe. This is my second pair in the ecru color—I'm hard on the lighter shades—so I was pleased to see that while the fabric is a slightly different tone than my previous pair, it's still a flattering light tan that goes with everything.The fabric is light and breathable, perfect for warm weather, yet has enough weight to drape nicely without clinging. There’s a slight stretch for comfort, and the fit remains relaxed and easy to wear. One feature I really appreciate is that the pockets don’t show through the fabric, unlike many other linen pants I’ve tried. While you’ll still want to wear light-colored undergarments, the material isn’t overly sheer.I take these pants with me every summer to Europe—they’re ideal for sightseeing during the day and can be dressed up a bit for casual evenings out. The waistband on this newer version feels slightly stiffer than past iterations, but it’s not uncomfortable and doesn’t detract from the overall wearability.Overall, I’m happy with this purchase and will likely keep coming back for more.

Get your iron ready!
These pants run huge! I could’ve easily sized down 2 sizes. They are very comfortable and (thankfully) have a drawstring to tighten them up. If you like to iron, these are your pants! I tried drying them on high heat to get the wrinkles out and hopefully shrink them a little. The high heat didn’t do either. I had to iron them using the steam. Even with that, some of the wrinkles just wouldn’t come out. I understand linen wrinkles but most of my linen clothes look fine dried on high heat and removed immediately, maybe a little wrinkle releaser spray. Not these pants!!!The length is just slightly a little too long for me, I’m 5’5”. It’s not worth getting them hemmed, I will just hike them up a little higher on my waist.I was going to order a couple other pairs, but have since changed my mind due to the ironing required.

Good deal
The fit is good, I ordered the large size since its summer and hot . I usually am size 12 so happy with the loose fit. They are long, I had to take them up, but I'm only 5"4 . All in all, they are a great summer pant for the price, I ordered a second pair.

Very comfortable and flattering.
I love the way these fit and feel on. Although, you can definitely still tell I’m fat, I think these are flattering for me. I’m 5’5”, I weigh 220, typically wear an xl or xxl/16 or 18 pants. XXL and size 18 are generally somewhat baggy on me, but 16/xl can sometimes be a bit tight, I’m 44 and have had 3 kids and have recently put on 50 pounds which I am in the process of trying to lose, so I workout and am somewhat muscular and not just squishy everywhere. My belly is pretty bloated in this picture because of the monthly blessing and I can still pull the waistband out about 2 inches. I have a pretty big booty and did a few squats in them to see if they felt like they would rip and they didn’t. I will definitely be buying these in more colors once I lose some more weight, but will probably have to go down a size once I’m back under 190-ish. The fabric is thick enough to not be see through, but thin enough to feel cool in the heat(I live in Florida). The front pockets are big enough for my phone too. If you’re between sizes, you should definitely go with your smaller size.

Wanna look bloated and fat?
These pants are fine if you don’t mind looking bloated and 20 pounds heavier than you are.I bought three pair and all of them are acceptable, but they certainly are not cut to be flattering. I’m keeping them because I washed them before trying them on, but I probably will never wear any of them outside of the house.I don’t recommend them, but they are exactly what they say they are, so ignore my review if you want. That’s what I did: ignored the poor reviews. Looking so far and ugly serves me right for being so stupid.
