I wasn’t sure about the wide waistband when I ordered these. But I was pleasantly surprised and happy with how well they pulled my waist in! The wide leg, well placed pleats and wide waist band make for a flattering fit. They are a linen blend which is great for summer! Cool, flowy and flattering! They come in a ton of colors. I’m wearing a size small and they fit true to size. Linen pants, Amazon fashion, summer outfit, spring outfit, over 40, over 50, wide leg pants
