Fit:I did look at the measurements to make my size selection. I have wider hips so I generally size based on the hip measurements. In this case, based on the fact that I wanted the pants to fit more relaxed and not tight, I had to order larger than I normally would. The top is loser because of that, but the belt allows you to cinch it in making it look flattering even if it’s a little oversized. I would purchase this set in more colors, if they were available. I wore it to a work conference and received multiple compliments. 10/10 recommend
