I like this style of sweatpants. So does my daughter. The rim of the waist has a form fitting elastic band that stretches to fit the shape of your waist but hugs it at the same time. It goes out from the waist down to the ankles in a loose fitting baggy style and has an elastic band at the bottom near the ankles that fits to form. This sweatpants are perfect for lounging around the house, jogging, working out or stretching. She sleeps in them as well because they have a lot of Room and are comfortable on her.We received the dark Gray in color pant found it to be pretty on par with the product description picture. When it comes to sizing, since the bands are stretchy around the ankles and waist and loose fitting everywhere else, it allows for a variety of sizing fluctuations.
