These are even more beautiful in person. I originally ordered a Large but returned them for a medium (5'5" about 165lbs, usually a size 8-10 in jeans). The side pockets are perfect, fabric is so soft, stitching is impeccable. My single criticism is I wish the waistband was a bit more snug, I found myself pulling them up because they slipped down some during intense workout. All around recommended, I have two more pairs en route.
