Fit like a glove
I’ve tried madewell jeans in the past, but the fits didn’t quite work for me. I decided to give them another go with these and was surprised to find they fit so perfectly. They’re a slim-straight style that I find extremely flattering. They are slimming while elongating my legs. This style is versatile too and can be worn with both loose and tight fitting tops. The wash color is a really nice medium-dark color. Definitely going to keep a lookout for more colors! I’m usually a 24 or 25 (sometimes 26) and got these in a 24.

Skinny Jeans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hoping these were straighter in the leg but they are skinny jeans, not what I was looking for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these jeans are called the perfect vintage for a reason - they are PERFECT. i have 5 colors at this point and they continue to be the most comfortable, soft, best looking jeans i have ever worn. seriously i can sit in these on the couch and they are comfortable.

Jeans!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for christmas in my usual size and it was the first time I'd felt like my jeans were a little too small. Maybe it's the style of the jean but they felt generally more snug than I anticipated based on pictures and on my other pairs of madewell jeans. Other than that they are classic basics.

Fits like a glove
These jeans have a glove like fit and the perfect length. I felt great wearing them!

Really stiff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe I should've gone with my usual size instead of sizing down like how I generally have to do with Madewell jeans. I love the color, but the fabric is so stiff that it's really uncomfortable to sit down while wearing these, and it's such a shame
