This is a comfortable pair.

I took this pair on my international flight and throughout my holiday. It was comfortable and versatile for all the ways I wore it. It was a tad big for my waist but nothing a belt won’t fix.

Wore these jeans every day this summer. They pair perfectly with tanks, t shirts and vests.

Loved these so much I bought them!

Cute and comfy

I wore it a couple of times for different errands or events. Could be dressed up or down. It rose up the center a little at times and gave me a weird bulge so I had to stay cognizant of where they sat on my body. I’d likely rent again though

I sized down x 2

I never wear a 26…like never. Not even in hs was I a size 2 but these jeans are meant to be worn loose in addition to the fact that MW jeans run big. I’ve rented these in a 27 as well and think I actually prefer that size for comfort. But I don’t look great in real baggy denim so I went with the 26. Length is a perfect crop on me at 5’7” and rise is just at the navel. Barrel leg is subtle and imo perfect.

Fine but a little short

At 5’10, I wish they were a little longer…but they were OK for running around. I like the seam details.

So large

I loved these and would rent again in a smaller size but they were gigantic. I am normally a 30 or at smallest a 29 if a Jean runs large, but I swear I could maybe wear a 28 in these. I had like 2 extra inches in my waist! The actual jeans, style, color and fit were super cute so I’m def going to add to a future rental in a 28 or 29 to try again.

Runs large

Runs late and stretches out with wearing. Baggy jean. Comfortable for wearing around the house. Only wore out once, not the most flattering.

Very Odd Seams

These jeans unfortunately gave me a camel toe. They fit correctly in the waist but for whatever reason they have an odd seam that results in camel toe and a weird seem up the butt as you can tell in the picture.

I love these jeans.

I ended up buying them new from another store I loved them so much. If you are my size you could almost size down to a 26. The 27 was a tiny bit big but I like them that way.

OBSESSED

Honestly I will probably end up buying these jeans because I loved them so much. Really comfy - fit a little big in the waist (I'm normally a 26 and the 25 fit well and got a tad baggy)

LOVED

These jeans were so cute - I got a lot of compliments, and they were so comfortable! Unsure if these jeans were cut because they're frayed at the bottom, but in the picture, they are not? Either way, I loved the overall fit and the length was perfect, which are two things that are so hard to come by being midsize and ultra short.

In LOVE

So tempted to keep these, I go between a 27 and 26 at Madewell. I sized down the 26 here and am glad I did. They were snug during the first wear, loosened up in the waist as I wore them

ran big, would have bought otherwise

i wore these so many times: to a yankee game, to church, to dinner, to work. i love the leg detailing and shape. the only reason i didn't buy is because the waist ran big. i had to use a belt or strategically layer a longer shirt over the waist.

Wasn’t confident about how I would like the barrel shape but I loved them. They are extremely comfortable jeans that I will consider renting again/buying.

So comfortable

I wanted to try the barrel jean trend but wasn't ready to commit but these jeans were my favorite. They're really comfortable and fit loosely on my waist. I am only 5'3" so regular jeans are usually too long but with platform sandals, I thought they were a good length.

love them!

these are great barrel jeans, not too wide! I accidentally ordered wrong size but these are meant to be a little baggy so no problem. Normally wear a 27 so true to size I would say.

the perfect barrel jean

I will say they run large. I sized down based on other reviews but I wish I would have sized down 2 sizes. very loose in the hips but the fit was still cute so I wore them for a casual friday night out. I honestly think I might buy these directly from madewell in my correct size.

Wasn't sure of this new trend. That's why RTR is so great! I actually love these jeans on me. I could have sized down, but they are very forgiving either way. So comfortable.

Run big, but wore these a ton!

Loved and wore these so much, I went to Madewell and bought them in my size! I am typically a true size 25, and these were quite big on me. Even the 24 I purchased has some extra room!

Comfy and cute

Was nervous for the barrel jean look, but really liked these! Ran a little large, definitely loosened as I wore, and a bit gappy at my waist (but that is normal for my shape if I don’t find curvy fit). Would recommend!!!

I am super short, so may just be difficult for me to get pants from RTR. But they were soft and comfy, other than being super long in me, were wonderful to wear around the house.
