It's hard to describe but there's a yellowish tint to the fabric making the pants look old or dirty. Also the texture of the fabric is a large weave that I foresee easily snagging or pulling with daily regular wear. And the fabric seems a little thick or warm for the summer but I don't wear cropped pants like these in the winter :sVery comfortableA little large, size downThe price was a steal for these Theory pants, but the material is super thin. Would be a great summer pant & comfortable, but the material shows every bump - more so than any other pant that I have ever worn or tried on. Size 16 was a perfect fit for me and is my usual size in a standard work trouser. The teal color is so pretty! I wanted to love these!!!
