I would definitely recommend sizing down, just as Adidas suggests when you enter your measurements in the size guide. They are even more eye-catching in person than I expected from the photos. Even the logo shines brightly in the sun! I'm thinking about buying the matching jacket, although I feel that wearing both together might be a bit too much unless you're a teenager or in your early twenties. The length is good for someone who is 171 cm tall. It sits just above a pair of Gazelles with a higher sole. If you're wearing flat shoes, it may feel slightly long. The material is neither too heavy nor too light—it's right in the middle. It feels well-suited for early spring and late autumn temperatures.

I love these pants. I love the sparkle stripe. I have two pairs of adidas shoes that have sparkly stones, and look cute with the pants. I am 5”3 and I had to have them hemmed.
