    These are so fab!

    Once I found the right size, they fit like a glove. I have curvy proportions and worried I’d have the same age old gap in the waist, but not with these… The mid rise makes them perfect. Just enough stretch to make moving in them easy but enough structure to elevate from utility. Also the Regular length was perfect for this 5’0” frame, no tailoring required. Really love the deep merlot color too. Note on sizing: the size guide was almost correct for me. I ended up sizing down for a slimmer fit, despite my measurements lining up in a size above what fit best.

    Trouser

    Worn my new trousers tonight at a breast cancer fund raiser.

    Many compliments and I felt amazing in them.

    Amazing

    When I first got these I was very worried because the fit was odd and I wasn’t sure if I’d keep them. I decided to just try them out for a while and as they broke in, it became a better fit. I’ve only had them one or two years now but I have had to make repairs on the seams below the pockets. Also, the waist is SO BIG. There was a substantial amount of extra material on the waist, so much so that they’d fall off if I didn’t hold them up but if the pants were any smaller, it would not fit my butt. I was able to install elastic in the waistband and now they don’t fall off anymore. They’re definitely my favorite pants but I wish they would have been more understanding of the butt to waist proportions. And in the front it’s pretty high waisted but in the back, it’s incredibly low, so I have to be cautious of the shirts I wear.

    Pleasantly surprised

    I have a hard time fitting pants, and these fit like a glove. I was worried about having room in the butt and thighs, but these pants are so comfortable and flattering. The material and pockets are lovely.

    Essential Trouser

    This is the first time I’ve ordered pants from WILDFANG and I am in love! I am 6ft tall so have struggled with having long enough pants my whole life…until now!

    The fit is perfect! I only wish there were more “tall” options in other colors because I would buy them all!!

    It will always be my go-to

    I love trousers, but I struggled to find the perfect ones for me. I tried different chinos for years, but they never really made me super happy, until I found these!! I will have to get more than one pair for sure!!!

    I love the essential trouser. I bought them for work but ended up just wearing them in place of jeans most of the time. They hit, unrolled, at the ankle. Rolled they have a high-water look. Deep pockets that I can actually put my phone in without half of it hanging out. They are true-to-size and don't really have a stretch, so they give a nice structured look and feel like they'll last a long time.

    Amazing fit but the orange isn't as pictured

    I love these pants, I have five different ones! The fit in on point, the quality is great, and they hold up well.

    Just note that the Spice color isn't a nice pumpkin orange like in the picture, but more of an ochre, or dark yellow-orange in person. I was super excited to get the color pictured, but the pants in real life don't look anything like that, so I ended up returning the spice ones. Picture of the color as received.
