I love these pants but they are very large and you definitely need to size down in them. I've had to return mine to get a size lower. The waistband is pretty much all elastic so won't be a problem.
The belt buckle on the front is pretty much just there for decoration. Not something you can tighten.
The little pocket on the left is adorable and perfect for your phone:)

Instantly fell in love with these when I saw them online but they are massively huge. I would say size down but I've already bought a small and it doesn't go any lower. Not great for size inclusivity. And the fake belt buckle is so impractical. Could have almost saved it with an actual belt if that wasn't in the way. I'll have to give these away to a friend unfortunately :(

I wasn't sure if I was going to like these trousers or not, but my gamble completely paid off! They are very comfortable with a lovely elasticated waist (great for eating LOADS & still being super stylish without feeling sick 😜) with cyber style side release buckle detailing on the waist & the pocket. Be aware you can't tighten the belt but it doesn't need it. There is a faux zip pocket on the leg & a free hanging pocket which also has a side release buckle on it, perfect for putting your phone in. Just under that pocket is a 'gap detail' on the leg, which is really striking. If you are worried about getting cold I bought a pair of nude coloured cycling shorts & they keep me toasty warm, even on snowy days. As the fabric is a polyester cotton mix it's light yet warm, but would also be great in the summer - these trousers are going to get worn all year round & I'm so pleased about it!
