These capris are great for wearing around town or to the beach/lake. They fit on the smaller side, snugger through the hips, so go up a size if you want some moving room (or if you are a bit hippy). They are lower rise - fittng on the hips. The flaired leg adds some style. And the water repellent feature is great - quick drying is a major plus. Simple, casual, but functional too.
