I've never liked a pair on pants as much as I like these...I think I own 6 pair in various colors of both the boot cut pants and the capris. They have the comfort of yoga and movement of yoga pants, but the look of pants. I wear them almost daily year-round.
Pros: No fading, even after probably hundreds of washings. Maintain shape between washing -- the fabric will stretch slightly, but doesn't lose shape or create a saggy bottom. Flattering -- I have a few extra pounds and my butt looks nice in these, while other pants aren't so flattering (with the exception of the khaki color, which wasn't that flattering). The have stretch that makes them highly movable and comfortable without being too tight. My weight fluctuates and I find them forgiving to both gains and losses. Repel dirt well and dry quickly -- I hang to dry indoors (as I do with most of my pants) and they dry within a few hours. Wrinkles fall out without having to iron. Highly packable -- lightweight and take little up minimal space.
Cons: Fabric pilling -- I regularly use a fabric shaver to keep them looking decent. Proportionally, the waist is large, but isn't a big deal (no pun intended) since there is a drawstring -- I do find that between washings, I'm sometimes hiking the pants up and re-tying them frequently due to the larger waist. They and a stray piece of velcro don't get along well (another reason for having the fabric shaver). The drawstring itself seems to stretch over time. I feel like the string in my oldest pair is now as long as I am tall.
A note about different fits: I'm 5'1" and have found the regular fits better in the waist and crotch than the petite does....I have to hem them either way, so I just buy the regular. The petite has a lower rise than I like, while the regular sits at, or just below, the waist. My petite pair is also a little more snug in the hips/butt. I've also found that the boot cut and the wide leg fit differently in the waist and hips, as well as in the obvious area of the legs. I haven't tried the ankle cut. I would recommend trying on another cut if you aren't crazy about the first one you try.
