I have 2 pairs of these beautiful cappuccino-colored linen pants that I wish I could wear! I bought in M (my usual size as a size 8), but they were too tight around the thighs. I tried to return (to Sauths in Lithuania), but it was a whole thing and they never received, but still sent me a new pair, supposed to be size L, but they accidentally sent size M again! Sad. If you are a size 8 but have fuller thighs just be aware these may be tight.
