so magical it's changed my life.
These are my favorite pants in the entire universe. I've amassed 2 pairs of black, one navy, and one salmon color over the past few years. I also have theory pants (not thaniel) in 2 other colors. Theory is and will always be my favorite brand for pants. Nothing else compares once you buy a pair of these. Thaniel is my favorite fit. the pant is thick enough where it provides a great silhouette for your lower body and it doesn't do that annoying thing other pants do and hug your calf (my pant pet peeve) it shapes your calf and makes your entire leg look sleek and streamlined. This is the magic of theory's fabrics. The fabric is such that I can wear these for 2 weeks and they don't stretch out. I also love the hidden elastic waist. super comfortable. I have gotten compliments on these pants. the day they stop making them is the day I'll spend my life savings buying every size of mine I can find.

Runs large
Fabric is very thick and heavy, although it does stretch. The cut of these as pull ons is very generous through the waist, and since they can't be altered in the waistband, I have to return them.

Nice looking pull-on slacks
These are nice looking for a pair of pull-on pants. They fit true to size and are nice and roomy in the calves so they don’t stick to me after I stand up, a big plus. I’ve only worn them once briefly and am not sure they’ll stay up with continued wear, a problem I have with pull-on slacks. I hope they do. I gave them four stars because I thought the price point was high.

Nice light weight Theory pants, fabric feels good, the darker shade look better on due to the big pocked see through in the lighter color pants.. I’m usually a size 6 in this one I fit in size 4.

I love these!
I love these trousers. They fit really well and are very flattering. Well worth the investment. My size is somewhere between an 8 and a 10. These are a large 8 and also stretch. The waist band is generous, so the 10 was a bit too big.

Roomy and stretchy
I had to take them back and get a smaller size. I’m always an 8 and I was a 6 and they’re still roomy.

Absolutely not worth the money
Oh man. I wanted to love these. They're a pull on style and I struggled to get them over my hips in my normal size. The length is just a tad short (I'm 5'6") and the pockets stick out a little in a strange way. Sad to send them back. The fabric is nice but definitely not worth this price. Bummer.
