As a follow-up, and more subjectively, I think also that you kind of just "know" when the fit is right. It feels right. It feels like you don't have to worry about the waist loosening up, there's no occasional pulling up the waistline, no feeling of too much material.
What I did was go down to where it was uncomfortable, i.e., it was a struggle to get that top button done and maybe even impossible, and then to go up 1-inch from there, where it was tight but still comfortable, i.e., I could get everything buttoned even though it was just slightly snug.
Then I checked to make sure the thighs were not too tight. They were too tight on the 2-inch-down sizing.
Anyway, for what it's worth... . And it is a little weird that it took me a few purchases to nail it. But I also think it would have been difficult to know exaclty for myself without going through the trial and error.
