So comfortably chic!

Extreme comfortable jeans, can be dressed up or dressed down. True to size, however they do stretch with wear.

Great material, Perfect fit

I received these today and immediately tossed them on to meet my sister for a D day celebration ( her first wedding day anniversary post divorce). I got tons of compliments and will be purchasing!!

So long!

Unless you’re wearing platform boots/tennis shoes or are blessed with long legs, these will be very long. I didn’t find rolling the pant leg very pretty but the look with the proper shoes was so nice!

Not for us short gals

Probably cute on someone many inches taller. The cuff wasn’t a good look in this style. Even with heels, no dice.

Expecting mama: good option

Ok I liked these pants but they were a little bit big. I find madewell can be funny with sizing. Sometimes I’m a 26, sometimes a 27 (not pregnant). For reference, I am 4.5 months pregnant and went to the 29 which was good to have the room but probably could have stuck with the 28 for this baggy style.

Pretty comfy

Madewell jeans usually work well for me - these were good but felt a bit mom-jeansy with the high button fly and baggy leg. Not the worst but not the most flattering.

Sitting & standing jeans!

Shape wasn’t as defined in person, and they were a bit more high waisted than I expected. I really liked the fit, and they looked good sitting or standing!

Rented for the barrel look and look great at first, but they get baggy all over after a few hours of wearing.

Just ok, not great for curves

Got this in two sizes. The waist was too big even in the smaller size and hips a little tight. They loosened up after a little wear, but not the most flattering for an hourglass shape.

Too long and waist was huge

I’m a solid 6 and on the petite side. The jeans was super long and waist was surprisingly big. Didn’t get to wear them because they were so oversized
