First of all, love the fishy minnow print! Perfect for cooler days on coastal holidays this year. More nautical/coastal vibe prints for summer please! Alexas do come up big - I’m usually a 28” Waist / UK 10 in trousers but tried the S and the XS and the XS were the best fit. I like the belt loops so they can be worn slightly more elevated with a belt and a cami/bodysuit if desired but equally can be worn super causally too - they’ll actually be coming camping with me next week as the elasticated waist makes them comfy and super easy to get on/off. Would like to see a more lightweight version of the Alexa with maybe a slightly less deep waistband.
