What customers are saying:
Most customers appreciate the classic style, quality, and comfort of these jeans, noting they hold their shape well and offer a flattering look for certain body types. Many recommended considering a size up since the jeans tend to run small, with a cropped fit that works great for petite frames but might feel too short for taller customers. Several customers who usually benefit from a regular fit mentioned that the jeans can be snug, particularly around the waist and lower portion, so checking measurements is a good idea. Overall, customers enjoyed the timeless design and value of these jeans, especially when they’re on sale.

Great Jeans
April 11, 2023This pair of Jeans is the one I've been searching for for a long time! Great fit for my petite figure (5'3'') and classic shades! It's kina full length for me (reach my ankle) so I can imagine it'll be considered as crop for tall girls. I'm very glad about this purchase especially when it's on sale!

Comfortable on trend
March 31, 2023Overall these jeans are soft, hold their shape and are great jeans! Especially on sale. However, I have the white button down essential straight and the black essential straight both in size 26, but this pair fits a bit more snug and seem a tad shorter.

Perfect any occasion denim
March 17, 2023I’m an older millennial who is finally accepting that my skinny jeans are no longer in style (not to mention no longer flattering since I’ve gained some weight). These were the perfect amount of relaxed without being too baggy. Best quality jeans I’ve bought in a long time, too!

Tight
March 12, 2023Fits very tight in the lower waist and is not stretchy. So tight it made my stomach hurt. Sad because it is a final sale, so pay attention to that.
