Pants fit well and have elastic at the waist and ankles, so if it's too long it still can be worn and not walked on. I got these pants to go out in and they've worked well and just to wear casually. I've gotten comments (good comments lol) everywhere I've gone and they're very comfortable (if you like synthetic fibers). The fabric is thin, but enough to keep you warm, yet thin enough to not make you completely overheat while moving around/dancing in a crowd.
