Read the reviews and sized up from S to M. Good choice! I'm not too tall (162cm) and worn low on the hip this reaches the ground on me. Higher on the waist it's an appropriate length to wear with sneakers etc. Nice natural/off white color, light weight non-stretchy cotton fabric. This will be perfect for summer or sunny tropical vacation. Had my doubts about the size but it's exactly like the other reviews said. This might just become my favorite for the summer. The strings do indeed give you the chance to adjust the fit. I'm small (I wear the size Small/36 in Adidas leggings) but the waistband is a bit tight and rough, so sizing up did the trick and the strings do indeed fix the slight bagginess perfectly without looking funny.
