Exceeded my expectations
This is going to be a very long and very thorough review; but I suggest you read through to the end to make the best choices about sizing, to make sure you understand a few important points about these jeans (possible deal-breakers) and that you are aware of exactly what you are buying quality-wise before you click that, "Add To Cart" button.
To start this off, I'd like to say that these ARE in juniors sizing — which is great for me, but horrendous for others —
If you are NOT someone that wears juniors sizing clothing (whether that be jeans, tops, or dresses) you may want to double check the sizing charts or look at some other jeans.
****There IS a difference in the way juniors and women's jeans are made, so keep that in mind! A size 3 in women's is highly unlikely to fit the same as a size 3 in the juniors’ section.****
— THE REVIEW —
I have a difficult time finding jeans, and ordering them online is a rarity (and a little nerve-wrecking) in my world.
I am well into my 20's, and I still can't shop for pants of any kind outside of the juniors’ section; meaning it is nearly impossible to find high-quality, comfortable, fashionable, well-fitting and durable jeans. Let alone jeans I can wear to my desk job (since, you know, most juniors’ jeans are full of tears and gashes).
That being said, I was a little nervous that these wouldn't fit.
I ordered them in a size medium – high waisted,
but assumed they would be like every other pair of jeans I've ordered online – too small here, too big there, too long here, too short there, and so on.
I was sure I'd be running to the nearest department store, tearing through the juniors’ jeans, settling for any one pair that I could yank past my bottom; yes, even if they were ugly ones.
But to my surprise, when these came in the mail, they slid on perfectly — which has NEVER happened before. Not in-store, and DEFINITELY not online!
I've converted some of the sizes to make more sense, so look into this before you buy these.
I can’t wear jeans from the women’s section, so unfortunately, I have no reference to size outside of juniors’.
(they are very stretchy, hence the drastic size ranges)
SIZE CONVERSION ESTIMATES:
X-Small: 00 - 0
Small: 1 - 4
Medium: 3 - 5 (I wear a juniors' 2 - 3 and these fit beautifully)
Large: 6 - 9
X-Large: 10 – 14
The only issue I have with these jeans is the way that the company has decided to size them.
Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large is not the proper way to size a pair of jeans.
I believe they were trying to simplify the sizing and make it unique to their company (it didn’t work).
The good old numerical sizing system would have been just fine, and much more practical, in terms of picking the right size.
Most women are used to that style of sizing when it comes to pants. Even European sizing would have made more sense!
The majority of us don’t know if we wear a small, medium, or large when it comes to our jeans!
— About my body type for reference —
Weight: 120lbs
Height: 5"4
Age: Mid 20's (I keep my exact age private)
— Body Type and Build —
- Relatively short legs
- Wide hips
- Slender (but have a natural, tiny tummy pooch)
- Large bottom when compared to waist (that alone makes jean shopping a nightmare)
- Small waist
- Hour-glass shaped with a slender build
Pros of these jeans:
- Stretchy, breathable, comfortable fabric
- non-restrictive when bending, walking, or sitting
- Very well made, high quality
- Not limited to one size when you buy a pair
(Meaning that if you are a size 3, a medium will fit you up to a size 6)
- They’re fashionable and can be dressed up or down
- Not at all restricting; there are no areas that are too loose or too tight
- They don’t stretch out throughout the day or when washed
- No fading
- The waistline sits just above the naval, making it work or school appropriate with a proper shirt.
Cons of these jeans:
- You have to guess your size (small, medium, large, etc.)
- No accurate size-chart available
- I didn’t see any plus size options available. Sizing shouldn’t stop at X-Large.
These are definitely the most comfortable and well-fitting jeans in my closet as of now.
I WILL be buying more! These have quickly earned the "favorite" status.
10/10 points from me, and 5/5 stars. I have almost NO issues with these pants, and I'll be ordering more as soon as I'm done posting this!
HAPPY SHOPPING, MY LOVES! :)
