The fabric of the pants is wonderfully light, so I assume that they can be worn well even on very hot days, since they cover the knees I also feel they are long enough to wear at work ;-). One star deduction because my copy doesn`t have the lighter fabric on the waistband or hem that you can see in the picture (it`s the same color as the rest). And what surprised me is that they only go over the knee, but are a long way from the feet (which I somehow imagined to be different with `ankle-length`, but it`s also nice, so no deduction, and also corresponds to the measurements, which I then took a closer look at after the trousers arrived ;-)...) What`s also noticeable is that the very light fabric is a bit see-through against the light. Which doesn`t bother me personally (so no points deducted), but is perhaps still important to know, as you can feel differently about it.
