LeeWomen's Legendary High Rise Trouser Jean

I always start out saying that measuring tape doesnt lie.This brand is Lee. Like most brands, they have their own size chart. Also this particular style won't flatter all figures... Especially if you choose a size too small. So measure yourself, and look at the sizing guide. Theres a bit of a trick to it (not really).I like:1.The material of these jeans is soft and has some stretch to it but its not suffocating in warmer weather.2. The high waist is perfect height.3. They give the perfect silouhette (like wide legs pants/jeans circa 1930s-1950s) *as long as you get the correct size for YOUR measurements.*My height and weight cannot help you decide your own size. Why? You might ask.I AM 5'4". My measurements taken with a seamstress tape at various times of the year:Fullest part of bust with bra on: 35-37Waist at navel: 25-27Hips:35-37My legs and arms are a bit lengthy and my shoulders are broad. I have to buy larger shirts just because of my shoulders for some brands.Someone with the same height and and weight as myself might have a larger bust, a smaller waist and hips than mine. And they would need a smaller size of these jeans and wear larger size shirts.Or if a person is a pear figure they might need a larger size while their shirt size would likely ve smaller than mine. Even if we weigh the same we need different sizes. Get it? Good.I purchased the 2 short. Why?1. Im 5'4".2. My waist measures 26" most of the time.3. My hips measure 37" most of the time.Usually when jeans are sized they shouldnt be the exact same measurement as the body. They should provide an extra inch or so to accomodate for tucking in your shirt a d fitting over undergarments.I had a suspicion that Lee would factor that into the sizes... They did.The jeans add 1.5 inches to accomodate and they call it size 2 (i guess for vanity's sake?). While the EU size us 26 (an actual size 6 according to classic garment making). They are stretchy so the fit is a little more forgiving than a non stretch alternative. However these jeans are not the same as skinny jeans. Youre not supposed to squeeze into them.For that perfect silhouette, you really must pay atrention to your waist AND hip measurements. If the difference between your waist and hips is greater than 15" i.e. You're a wasp waist hourglass (i kind of envy you guys), or a wasp waist pear: you want to make sure these are the right fit for your hips first. Thet should give that extra 1-1.5 according to the chart, or even get a size up. After you get them you could take them to a tailor to custom fit the waist (if you got a perfect hip size) and the hip area to perfection (thats where the larger size comes in) and these would look SUPER AMAZING on you.A banana figure may need a small adjustment at the waist or hips. They could possibly size down if their hips and waist have a very small difference since the material stretches.If you have an apple or inverted triangle figure, you should pay the most attention to your waist size. If necessary, you can also have the hips adjusted to improve the line if your silhouette.Final thoughts: i am happy that I can find wide leg jeans easier now. Before, i would just make do with boot cut jeans (i like those a lot too). I had to wait a while for them to come back in style (jeans at least). However, i dont think it should be like this. Jeans arent supposed ti be like this! Different jeans flatter different figures in various ways. For instance an inverted triangle figure might have a more striking silhouette in a set of jeans with a harem pant fit, or a Monroe style jean. Both would balance out the shoulder line quite well. An apple body would probably rock some bell bottoms like a champ by highlighting slender thighs and having the bell to balance their upper body.Each figure can create the perfect silhouette for their personality and figure. So... Look at all the various jean styles available and choose whats best for YOUR body and personality.After all comfortable clothes that compliment our figures are always the best!

I get compliments from people of all ages every time I wear these jeans! First of all, as the other reviews mention, these run large and long.I am 5’4”, 130 lbs, with wide hips. I normally wear a size 10, regular length in most jeans. I am a young 65-year-old.These are well made, and the denim is heavy in weight. Mine did not shrink in the wash - I always wash in cold water. If they are removed immediately from the dryer, they shouldn’t need ironing.I have 2 pairs of these in 2 different color washes. They are comfortable and very flattering. I got mine at a great price of $34.90 here on Amazon. Put them in your Wishlist and get them when you’re notified that they’re on sale. 😊 Follow the size suggestions and you won’t be disappointed.

This fit me well around the waist, hips, snd thighs, and are generally flattering. They're soft, flexible, and comfortable, and generally seem well-made.My only complaint is that they are SO long. I ordered the regular (not long) version, and after I tried them on, I checked the tag on the actual jeans to make sure they'd sent the correct length. They are the regular version. I almost swapped them back for the short version (and I've never ever needed a short size pants before), but then I rolled up the cuffs and think they're cute that way, too, so I'm not bothering with the hassle of a return/exchange.They're cute and I think ill get a lot of wear out of them.

I love these pants. I bought the 10 reg and they fit perfect. I wear betwen an 8 and 10. Waist about 29 to- 30 inches. Inseam 29.5. The inseam was long enough to wear them with wedge shoes. At first I thought the high waist would be tight, but they are very comfortable with a lot of give or stretch. I wore them all day, no bagging or sagging of fabric. The fabric is soft and a perfect weight, not too heavy nor too thin. I like when wide leg pants fit snug on the derrière and flow out and these do perfectly. I would buy again in the short size so I could wear flats.

These jeans are super flattering and have just enough stretch but not enough that these loose the beautiful look of true vintage jeans. I am usually a 27 in Madewell curvy jeans and a size 8 in Rachel Comey. Im 5'6 and never wear heels so I bought the short which is the absolute perfect length for flats. They hit at a great spot for high rise and they are super flattering in the back. I honestly did not have high hopes for these because it said "frequently returned" but what a pleasant surprise!!! I have returned numerous high rise dark indigo pants since I began my search for the perfect pair because either the leg is too wide or the rise is too high or they make me look short and stumpy....everything from Madewell to Triarchy to Target brands to Paige and Agolde jeans I've tried everything and these by far fit the best and the price is INCREDIBLE. I have an hourglass figure when I'm in my best shape, but at the moment my stomach is a bit bigger than usual which is partly why I've been having such a difficult time finding flattering jeans. I really need my pants to compliment my rump when I'm on my heavier side, since thats the only place I never mind gaining weight and the placement of these pockets and how these shape my rear looks really good. I am 5'6 and 155lbs. I bought a size 8 short and can wear long underwear with them because the stretch is just enough and the hem just hits the ground with bare feet. I love these.
