Pants are not really tapered as the description suggests. I'm a smaller guy at 5'634; and 140 lbs so I got the XS short. But even being the smallest size offered, it didn't fit as well as my unisex dickies everyday scrubs pants in XS petite (neither in slimness nor in length). They have unfortunately been returned as the features were nice -- I liked that it had an elastic waist AND drawstrings. If you are looking for a more 34;modern34; fitting or slimmer fitting scrubs, I'd stick to unisex fits over men's fits. Companies seem to make men's stuff way larger than necessary (I can't even imagine how large the XXXXXL ones are)
