Not too tight, but not too loose. Fitted, and spandex nylon makes them stretchy and comfortable. 36" waist 190 lb and XL fits great. Tight but not form fitting tight. Wish there was more available colors like pale blue, green, or gray, instead of bright swimming pool colors. Has a 5" inseam so not too short, but show some flattering leg, and feel comfortable in public. I love them.
