The trousers for a long Tuesday that starts at eight

These are regular fit trousers with a mid rise, and the listing says the waistband is flexible and does not bind. The fabric is 49% cotton, 47% polyester and 4% spandex, so there is a little stretch built in for a day that asks you to sit, stand, climb stairs and walk.

The listing calls this a regular fit with a mid rise, and gives the rise as 9.75 inches. The leg opening is 20 inches. Inseam comes in three lengths: Short is 30 inches, Medium is 32 inches and Long is 34 inches. Those measurements were taken on a size 10 medium, and the listing notes that measurements may vary by size, so keep that in mind when you pick yours.

The fabric is 49% cotton, 47% polyester and 4% spandex. Cotton and polyester make up nearly all of it, and the spandex is the part that allows give. The listing also says fabric material varies by color, which may change how the fit feels, so these percentages may not describe every color. The waistband is described as flexible and non binding. The listing frames them as work appropriate and easy to mix with other tops.

There is a zipper fly with a button closure. Pockets are two front slants and back welt pockets, which the listing describes as small item storage. Care is machine wash, and the item is imported. Whether the cut looks sharp or relaxed on you is a matter of taste, and the listing does not state the weight of the fabric or whether it is lined.
