I seldom find pants that fit well, so on a whim I ordered these in the ivory, expecting I'd end up returning them because of the fit. Not only did I keep them, I ordered the navy and indigo colors. The fabric has a lovely drape to it and, as previous commenters noted, the pants can be dressed up or down. I'm 5'8" and weigh about 150 lbs. The size 8L worked well for me. They still run a tad shorter than I would expect for a long fit, but I can wear the pants with a 1 to 2 inch heel and they don't look too short. My only complaint is that the way they're cut makes them "dig in" a bit for someone like me with a curvier bottom. The problem was easily solved with light shape wear.

Perfect summer trousers -- light and casual but not sloppy-looking. They probably run on the looser side, but basically true to size.

These fit to a T in a 6P, only I ordered the soft red since the navy was gone. It's a little to trendy for me. I'm going to exchange for the navy.

These pants brighten my day, the soft red is lively but not overbearing, I can wear them to work, and then head out to dinner with friends,and all the while I am in comfort. The pants are roomy at a 10 regular, so I probably could have gotten the petite but it was easy to hem them. I am pear shaped and they make me butt look good

Finally took the plunge (after some voucher motivation) to purchase these in red. I was aware of the comments about the waist running too high, and despite my agreement with that, I still kept and really love these pants. I usually take a 6R in pants, and these fit beautifully………even better after a couple of hours wear. For those of us with more ample (and bumpy) rears……don't you love my honesty??……these are a godsend. Totally flattering fabric that skims the butt and thigh. These really are truly well-designed pants for fit and fabric. Would be just superlative if the waist could be lowered just a tad so they're not so belly-warmer-ish!!! I haven't washed yet, so can't comment on that. Good job boden!!

I've been looking for linen pants that I can wear to work when the weather is just too hot. The cut of these pants will look well with a short jacket or cropped sweater. The fabric feels very comfortable. I realize there will be wrinkles, but that's to be expected with linen.

I am 5'11' and can never find pants or jeans that fit. It is so difficult. Boden shorts never fit me. These pants are a miracle. They fit perfectly. They are comfy and good quality. You can wear them with tees and sandals or dressy shirt and pumps. When I find a pair of pants that fit, it is like finding a unicorn under a rainbow. I am ordering more before they disappear.

Theese pants are the soft red (coral) color are the perfect summer pant - dress them up or wear them with a t-shirt. I just wish they were a little roomier in the thigh and didn't need to be hemmed. I usually run true to size in Boden 6, and these were just little off in sze, but I love them anyway.

I liked these pants out of the package. Despite the description that they fit below the natural waist, the petite size fit at my waist. I prefer a slightly lower waist, but I liked the overall fit. As others have noted, the fabric does stretch a lot, so the pants get baggier by the end of the day. I don't think I have enough extra room in the thighs to size down (and they are sold out in the next size down), but I might have the waist altered to account for the stretch. Overall I liked these pants, but I wish the waist was about an inch lower and the fabric had a little less stretch.

These pants are adorable and fit perfectly right out of the bag ( I am an 8p and some of the slimmer fitting pants are not a good fit) they are very flattering and are made from a substantial but soft and comfortable fabric. Love them - please make sure to make these for other seasons.
