Customer Reviews Columbia Back Beauty™ Skinny Pant

I really wanted to keep these pants but they run extremely short! They looked very high watered on me and I am only 5' 7. No option for a taller length so I returned them.

I was excited to get these pants in the mail. The material is really nice, perfect weight, no wrinkles and stretchy. They seemed to run a little small to me, I'm 5'10" and 160lbs...they also were SUPER short. I was sad they were not long enough...I even exchanged them for the XL - they too were way too short. They were also too big, so I guess I am a large plus not quite XL. Too bad, as these seemed like they'd be such a great functional pant.

I am 5'8", pear-shaped, about 135 lbs. (just for reference). Most of my issues with this are not related to the quality, but the shape of the pants. Being kind of tall, the pants hit at my ankle without shoes, so with shoes they looked weird. And, since I am bigger on bottom, the skinny pant shape was not flattering on me. Other than that, the pants were very flexible and comfortable! I returned the pants, although if the shape were more flattering for me, I would have definitely kept them.

I always take a Medium in the Black Beauty pant but the last few times I've tried them on they fit much smaller... If you look online, the Large and X-Large are sold out but lot's of Mediums are left... sure sign!!

These pants run very small; I normally wear a size 6, 8 at the most and both the Small and Medium were too small. The small is closer to a size 4 and the medium is a 6 at most. Cute pants but sadly both sizes go back. The bluish color is kind of funky; I think it would be hard to find clothes to match it other than white, black or gray.

I loved how these pants made my legs look slim and long. I also liked how lightweight they were, and that they could go from casual hiking to dressing up. The problem was that they have a very low rise. I found my underwear showing in the back, and they made my belly appear above the waist band in the front. Not a good look. If you have fabulous tight abs, buy these pants and show it off. If not, avoid. I'm returning.

These pants were awesome, functional and great looking...till I washed them. Aftr only one wash in cold water they went from black to a muddy faded black with a greenish tinge. The fit went from perfect to baggy in the knees and sloppy looking. I will try to return them to the store I bought them from. Very disappointed in the quality of these.

I've owned two pair of Back Beauty skinny leg pants and despite some issues with "the material becoming "crepey" around the knee they fit and felt great. I've ordered a new pair and they are they fit much differently than the ones a purchased before. I checked the style numbers and they are the same.

I am a size 6 and 5'8. I order the medium regular length and they run short for the tall women... kinda bummed thought about returning them and ordering long but they only have short or regular. They also advertise that the pants give good coverage on the backside. I would say the waistband backside coverage is average at best and about the same as pants that cost a fraction of the price. I like the material so it has that going for them.

Maybe it is just the pair I got, but when you normally order small from Columbia, you just do it again. these are so skinny, I couldn't even get them on. Maybe a very thin 10 year old could. Not sure, maybe like I said I got a defective pair.
