IXIMOWomen's Tapered Pants 100% Linen Drawstring Back Elastic Waist Ankle Length Pants

Update 11/5/23: The seams in the legs are being stretched too much. They are holding up but the fabric is thinning and there are lil holes around the seams. I should have stuck with Large, but that’s okay. Still super comfy and can be lounge pants if I wear em out.Current Stats: 5’4, 150, weight mostly in chest and thighs. Hip cir: 42, waist: 36. This is my second time purchasing these pants. Two years ago I purchased the large size in pink and brown. They stretched and look more like PJ pants on me. I made the mistake of wearing the brown ones around my foster kittens and they made holes in the leg. I patched them and use them as garden pants. The pink ones are well worn but I use them as lounge pants and treat them pretty roughly. They have faded to a paler pink but still pretty and nice! This time around I’ve gotten Medium so I can use as wardrobe clothing. They are a little stiff and tight in the upper leg at first but these soften and loosen up so nicely. The waist is comfy and all the colors are sewn the same so there is not a variation between colors. I love the pocket size. These pants are perfect for hot and humid weather as they are super breathable. They are not sheer but I would be cautious with lighter colors in matching base layers to skin tone if you choose to wear a base layer. The ankle is not as fitted as I would like, but they don’t look bad. For these I will be delicate washing and air drying to preserve the color and fabric longer - just a preference, my pink pants are going strong and I’ve been throwing them in normal loads and drying them in the dryer. 🤣 They do wrinkle a bit because of the linen content, but that’s hot weather clothes in general, and nobody cares when everyone is equally melty in hot weather. I work with 100% linen and I don’t think this is a pure linen fabric as the behavior is a bit different. I definitely love them and think they are worth the price.

I'm going to invest some time to share a proper review this product is due, to let the product maker know that this quality is noticed and much appreciated.I've purchased natural color. It is my second order from IXIMO (the first pair was or a more classic design with a front zip type of pants).So, these pants are very well made: from the overall design (the botton is not too tight, with the elastic band; the top is perfectly sized; the side pockets are well designed - with no cutting corners, just fills righth when putting hands in the pockets; a note that the back pockest are mock - which actually makes them sleaker, as there is no "baggy" look from excess fabric in the back - well thgout); the fabric is high quality: the label says 100% linen and it feels like it.The pants were also well steamed/ironed - truly finished as a product (of course, I expect to steam before wearing, just like anything else). The sizing is just right (I got an S; about 112lp and 5'4) - not too loose not too tight.The overall quality is apparent: so, the design/execution team's expertise has really shined through here. I'm so happy this standard still exists and is offered for consumers. Please know it is much appreciated and longed for.Now, knowing what this company offers, I'll be much more enthusiastic opting for their products, when on the market for this type of garments (which is frequently). I will consider other colors and additional items for family members.The price is very competitive as well and I hope it will stay no higher than this price point.Again, thank you for putting all the thought into the design and development and for setting a high standard. Very grateful.

I purchased these in gray blue and army green in the L and XL. I felt like the gray blue was true to color (more of a deep navy than gray, but still as pictured) and the army green was slightly greener than pictured, but still very "army green".Overall, the fit was nice. A modern taper that wasn't quite a jogger, but not a tailored work pant either. Really quite a nice mix of casual and clean cut. The linen itself is rougher than some, but might soften up with washing. The weave on the two colors I got is tight enough that there's no skin tone or under garments peaking through. Both pairs I got have the drawstring, which faces the outside of the pant. I think for most people this would need to be tied for the pants to stay up. On both pairs the drawstring is made of linen and is SUPER stiff - like sticks out and tents lightweight cotton t-shirts. I had to fold it inside or do a French tuck to avoid this. Maybe this will soften with washing? I don't know, but it's weird. Seems like the drawstring could be made of a different material and/or face the inside of the pant. Pretty minor issue, so I give these surprisingly chic and affordable linen pants a thumbs up.For things more specific to how the pants fit me: I am 5'10", 170ish lbs, with a 33" inseam. Most pants just don't fit unless they're long/tall. These were more of a cropped pant than an ankle pant on me, but still well within acceptable (so many ankle pants end up as weirdly tight capris). I actually preferred the look and length with the hem folded over just once, more because of the look than the length but I was able to do so because the pants weren't already too short.I am a small US 12 that wavers between size 10 and 12 or medium and large depending on the fit and brand. My natural waist is 32.5" and my hips are about 45". I don't have a hugely curvy booty, butt (ha ha) it's definitely not flat so pants and skirts tend to get tight around my mid hip/butt first. I ordered the XL and L because I was worried these would have smaller (Asian) sizing. I didn't have to worry. In fact, I could probably have fit a M if I wanted a slimmer fit. The large fit loosely with no overly snug places and room to spare in most areas. The XL wasn't that much bigger, so I worry that these aren't terribly size inclusive.
