I almost skipped these because the reviews were SO split. Here's what actually happened when I tried them. 👇 I'm 6'3" with a 36" inseam (almost 40 this year 🎂) and normally a size 6-8 at Athleta. For the Skyline Barrel Pants, I sized up to a 10 Tall — and I don't regret it. The reviews were basically 50/50: half said true to size, half said they ran small. Turns out it comes down to body shape. If you're curvy with a defined waist and bigger hips → go true to size. If you're more rectangular like me → it depends, and here's why: When I first tried the 10 Tall on, it felt like *the* fit — snug waistband, but supportive-snug, not cutting-in-snug. Wear them around the house for a bit before you judge. Mine loosened up in the waist within a few wears, which tells me a lot of rectangular-shaped girls tried true-to-size, panicked at "too tight," and returned them too soon. Verdict: barrel pants are one of those rare styles that flatter every body type, and these are no exception. Might still grab a backup pair in my true size 8 down the line, but the 10 Tall with a belt is a win. 🛍️ Shop these + the rest of my Athleta favorites — link in bio / LTK 📌 Save this for your next Athleta order **Tell me in the comments: are you true-to-size or size-up when it comes to barrel pants?** TallFashion TallGirlStyle AthletaTall BarrelPants TallWomen SkylineBarrelPant PetiteToTall TallGirlProblems OneTallOrder LTKTall LTKPlusSize LTKTravel
