Size down , I got a M instead of L and it fits great. I wear size 11 in hollister jeans if that helps. The button and zipper seem cheap so I hope they don’t break but other than that they look and fit great.

The pants are really cute. The only problem is I have a pear shape so my hips are wider than my waist. In order to get the best size for my hips it made the pants way too big in the waist. I had to take them in on the sides but there was still a gathering in the crouch area. The length of my sweater camouflaged it as much as possible.Oh and they weren't ripped and no elastic band. But they were cute.
