High Waisted Wide Leg Jean

I have two pairs of these and I love them. They’re very versatile and flattering; I have a big butt and short legs and these flatter both areas. However, as other reviewers have noted, they can be hard to get over the hips, and I also experienced the tacking under the zipper breaking on both pairs that I own, one within a week of wearing them. In one case, it led to the whole zipper breaking. There is just one reinforced stitch in this area and too much tension is put on it when you pull them up, so it breaks easily. I brought them both to my favorite tailor, who did a much more complete job of addressing this area, so now they’re perfect. Another issue is with the crotch of the pants. It is meant to be tight here; you can see slight camel toe even on the models pictured. But because my butt is big, it takes up disproportionate real estate in the jeans and therefore it can be uncomfortable to sit in these for a long time (like if I sit a lot at work, etc), especially if I’ve just washed them. I try to go a long time between washing them for this reason, but because they suffocate my cooch it can get moist and stinky compared to more relaxed jeans, and it makes me need to wash them more frequently than I’d like. Overall though they’re cute and I love em.

Love the feel of these pants and they’re pretty comfortable. I originally ordered the cream color in 27 but it was super stiff and tight around the waist. Which was weird, because I also have these in the dark blue, size 27 and they fit like a glove. I ended up purchasing the cream pants in size 28. I do wish the 28 was a little more complimentary to the v-jay area! They kinda of create the camel toe look but the 27’s didn’t!

these are probably the best-fitting non-stretch pants i have ever worn. they fit the same in the hips as in the waist, which is bonkers and amazing. i did experience 2 issues with them, 1 minor and 1 pretty huge. 1) it’s quite hard to get the pants up over my ****, which make sense: if it the waist of the pant fits well with no stretch, it’ll have trouble with the hips. this is fine with me, but part of the pants quickly broke as a result of repeated tugging. there’s a small panel of fabric that backs the zipper and attaches to its base and along its length. eventually, the stitches at the base of the zipper wore out and broke from tugging. this didn’t create any visible problem, and the panel stays put pretty well without the bottom stitches, but still: it’s a design flaw. 2) i soaked the pants in oxiclean overnight, and the metal hardware in the pants reacted with the stain remover and bleached them in places. i believe the dye in the fabric (i had them in brass) also reacted with the oxiclean and became discolored. the tag on the pants definitely says that they may bleed in the wash, but i don’t think it said anything about avoiding non-chlorine bleach. the pants are unfortunately ruined now. i wish there had been a note about this in the cleaning instructions!

I’m 5’7, 150lbs with a short torso and slight hourglass shape, and most pants are either too big for my waist or too tight for my hips. It’s really hard to find jeans that hold their shape and flatter my figure. These pants in the size 30/31 me so perfectly and true to size that I got a little emotional trying them on. It really holds you in and defines your shape without constricting you. The heavyweight cotton in the shade “Natural” looks and feels so good, no weird crinkling or lumping that comes with a lot of cheaper fabrics. The 31” length was a little long for me so I just cut off the hem to my liking, and I think the raw edge adds a lot of character to the look and visually softens up the strong lines from the pants. There’s literally nothing I dislike about these pants and I’m already saving up for more colors.

These pants are so cute! I’m usually a size 26, and that’s what I ordered. 4 stars because they are a bit snug, but not unbearable! I probably should have sized up.
