Does the Aritzia Melina Pant Run Big or Small?

Q: Does the Aritzia Melina Pant run big or small?

Runs Small. Size up if between or hip-heavy; structured vegan leather has little give. Aritzia vanity sizing — do not trust dress size alone. Aritzia Melina Pant often feels small through the waist and hip versus soft stretch pants at the same numeric size. Size up if you are between sizes, hip-heavy relative to waist, or need to sit comfortably in structured vegan leather. Some wearers stay TTS once the fabric softens — treat size-up as the safer online starting point.
