I love Baleaf and rely on their athletic tops. Like these pants, they are usually well constructed of quality fabric. However, the fit here is a miss for me, mainly due to a tight strip of elastic at the waist and an unusually long rise. Otherwise these seem a very good value. Muffin issues: From the photos, I expected the wide waistband to be sturdy and stretchy enough to hold the pants up on its own, avoiding a muffin top. (My favorite leisure bottoms are designed this way.) But this band is mainly stylistic, just an extra seam in the regular fabric. The real band is a narrow elastic strip at top above the drawstring. On my older apple shape this creates an uncomfortable muffin bulge. If you’re young and firm waisted, it may not be a problem. Sizing & fit: The fit is odd on me but might be fine for you. I’m a 5’6” 170 lb apple - 38” waist, 42” hip, flat rear end. In an XL the waist is tight, the hips and rear are quite generous, and the rise is so long that the pants hang like PJs, maybe 2-3 extra inches below my crotch. (You can see a hint of that long rise in the product photo where the model is sitting, with extra fabric folding over her thighs.) This sizing might work if you’re a long waisted, well endowed pear. It might also be less of an issue in smaller sizes. The size chart seems accurate as far as it goes, but I really wish they’d add the rise measurements. Fabric, construction and features: The fabric is good quality, thin and light but nicely stretchy. Though the seam margins are narrow the seams look sturdy and well finished. The stretchy side pockets are especially handy. The dark gray color is a great neutral. Style: I really like the 7/8 length, stylish but not too short. The cut is subtle enough for business. But due to the light weight fabric, to me these pants seem better suited to travel, hiking and exercise. Value: Great for the right body type. If it sounds like they’ll fit you, grab ‘em! Read more
Love the Baleaf brand of clothing! These are my new leisure and travel pants. Made from a sturdy lightweight material. Very comfortable! These 7/8 length pants is perfect for me. I normally wear a petite sized pants. The hem sits right at my ankles. Love the pockets! These pants are neat and professional looking. I wear these on trips. More comfortable than wearing jeans on a plane and a neater looker than knit pants. Fits great! Great asset to one’s wardrobe! Read more
I’ve fallen in love with lightweight casual pants that are perfect for travel, work, and workouts, so I ordered these to add to my collection. Upon unboxing, I was impressed by the smooth, cool feel of the fabric. These pants have a refreshing quality that makes them ideal for even the hottest days. Plus, the fabric was flawless, with no blemishes or stains in sight. However, I had high hopes for these pants that ultimately led to disappointment. When I tried them on, I found them to be quite unflattering. As someone who has recently lost a lot of weight, I want to showcase my perfectly imperfect figure, but these pants made me feel flabby and heavier than I am. I attempted to adjust the elastic waistband to reduce the gathers around my belly, but it didn’t help. While I found that wearing a longer shirt to cover my midsection improved the overall look, I simply don’t have the time for pants that require extra effort to make them work. That said, I’m sure these casual stretch workout pants will suit some women just fine. Read more
It's not accurate to call them dress work pants—they wouldn't pass as dress pants at an office. But I can imagine them being appropriate for a job where you have to be active and still meet an employer's dress code. Golf pants is more accurate. The pants fit ok, but I wish they had just a little more rise in the back. I was a little worried that would make a swishy sound when I walked, but it's minimal. I like that they have an SPF rating because I anticipate wearing these for outdoor activities. Read more
These trousers are excellent. The fit is incredibly cozy. The material is strong, light, and airy. They have an abundance of pockets, including secret pockets. You genuinely forget you're wearing them because they are so cozy. You will be extremely happy you purchased these. Read more
These are lovely, lightweight pants, made from quality fabric. Normally with this company, an X-Small fits me perfectly, but this pant runs slightly larger, especially through the waist. There is an elastic pull on the inside of the waist band, but when pulled, the pants do not fit flat. These capris have 3 front pockets, one with a zipper, but there are none in back, only plackets to make the pants look like there are pockets. They are drip dry and are very good for traveling because of that, and because they take up very little room in a suitcase. Read more
