These are dark brown slacks. The waist is elastic, making them very easy and comfortable to put on and take off. They can be worn as loungewear, for commuting, going out, or for casual outfits. I tried them on after purchasing them, but they didn't suit me, so I kept them stored. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored at home. *They will be folded compactly for shipping. They may also be compressed. Thank you for looking.
