Hard to describe if you’ve never tried but here goes: classic Ruti elastic back waist. Front has an elegant and subtle drape. They skim and almost narrow the hip to the top of the leg with the picket set, then the leg drapes out like a soft, draped jodhpur. The leg narrows out slightly at the bottom to about a 7.5 inch opening. The rise is about 13 inches long, so a subtle drop crotch effect unless you choose to wear them more fitted. Note the waist flat is 14– about 28 inch waist. With the elastic stretched, can go to about a 31 inch waist. Inseam is 28 inches. Very distinct pant that elevates the silhouette
