Nice Fit, Just What I Was Looking For

I bought a new pair of boots and wanted a pair of straight leg jeans to wear with them. These are perfect. These jeans fit so nicely, have just the right amount of stretch and are top quality. I love the style.

Love!!

I love these pants! The fit is so flattering and they suck everything in while being comfortable. They’re the perfect cut.

Comfortable and casual

I’m 5’0, 123lb. Was looking for a new pair of jeans that weren’t too tight but a baggy / wide leg fit that just make me look squatty. These jeans fit great and feel so comfortable. They have good room in the hips and thighs but still fits my waist. These jeans aren’t a super thick and stiff denim; they feel more like a ‘summer denim’ weight with a decent amount of stretch

I love these jeans!

I love the mid rise jean. These are perfectly stretchy, yet hold in the extra pounds. I purchased one size up because they felt more comfortable. (I am between two sizes) .

Perfect Jean!

So glad to have found a midrise Jean that is everything a pair of jeans should be! These look great on my backside and the straight legs make them so versatile. I don't always want a high rise and this midrise is the perfect solution! Please make more of these in many washes, Madewell!

Not Too Skinny, Not Too Wide….Just Right

I really like these 90’s straight mid rise. I like that they’re not too tight in the leg and not so wide legged either. I turn up the bottom because I like them to fit to my ankle. I like that they’re mid rise because I had a shorter torso and sometimes it’s hard to sit down while wearing high rise.

Perfect Fit!

The fit is perfect. A little long, but nothing a tailor can’t fix!

Great jeans!

I am a big fan of the 90’s straight mid-rise style. This is my second pair. I am 5’7” and 118 lbs and bought a 25, my usual size. I have slim hips and proportionally am a little thicker in the waist so I find mid rise fits to be more comfortable than high rise. These jeans were a heavily discounted final sale. I hope Madewell is not discontinuing them and keeps making mid rise styles.
