The Newbie High Waist Crop Straight Leg Jeans

I usually wear a size 28 in most jeans. I recently bought a size 29, and everything else fit perfectly, except for the waist. There was about a 2-inch gap in the waist, which was a deal-breaker for me. These jeans felt like mid-rise. I have an athletic build 155lbs 5’4 with thick thighs and glutes, and I found them unflattering. Hopefully someone else can love them, back to nordys they go.

I am usually a 27 and based on reviews and description I sized up to a 29. They were too big. Might be okay staying with normal size or sizing up 1 size for little looser fit? Sizing aside, the jeans are great quality and the wash is nice. Sad it didn’t work out for me

I think Mother has a winner here, but I knocked one star off for sizing because these run soooo small. As another reviewer noted, 2-3 sizes. Thanks so this person, I bought 2 sizes up from my normal size 31 and they’re still snug, but probably about right. For reference, I have a rectangle-apple body shape with a short torso, a not very defined waist, and about an29-inch inseam. These are midrise on me and because they’re more rigid, do suck the stomach in (hooray). I’m 5’4” and these do hit me at the ankle, though not quite as high as on the model pictured.

I typically wear a 31/32 in Mother jeans, I could not get these over my hips in a 32. I’m not even sure 2 sizes up would work. They are super cute though I’m between a 10-12, pear shape, 31 in Levi non-stretch

I own many pair of Mother denim, so the fact that I keep reaching for these tells me I love them! They’re 100% cotton so they loosen up with more wear, which lends itself to that relaxed looked. I disagree with the description of the paint though, I don’t think they should be considered high waisted. They’re definitely not!

I’ve really struggled to find a flattering straight leg jean that doesn’t have either a cuffed leg or a rough hem. I’m only 5’1”, 125lbs and I have an hourglass shape and it’s just hard to find the perfect pair of jeans. These are perfect. Exactly the right inseam, just the right amount of loose throughout the leg, they make my butt look great, they are so comfortable. I bought a pair at Nordstrom then ordered a second pair online. I love them.
