Was a first purchase from Carve for me so sizing was a little confusing but ultimately went with the size 6 that I wear in most brands. After getting the size figured out, they feel really soft, fit like a glove which turns my athletic build into a more curvy with where the pockets are located, and move and stretch with me, easily passing the squat test. I will say they feel a little tighter around the waist (they sit higher) but the material is stretchy enough that it moves with you. Hard to tell in the pictures but these are vertical stripes with white and like a pale khaki. The length is best worn cuffed in my opinion.
