Mar 11, 2025Nice and comfortable!
I bought the Rondell wash the other day and loved it so much, so I bought the Bellmere wash. It's a great straight jean that you can wear all the time. It's not too heavily washed, so less casual.

Mar 10, 2025The 90s Straight Jeans are my favorite!
This is my second pair of the 90s Straight Jean and I love them so much. They hug you in all the right places and the denim has some give that moves well with you. The pant legs are very straight which are a great look. Need these in every wash.

Mar 05, 2025Ok wow
Okayyyyyyyyy Madewell - these were great. A baby bit of stretch full length to the top of my feet (I am 5’5”) and made the booty pop! A true straight leg as well not too wide or too skinny. Wish there were other washes.

Feb 18, 2025The perfect jean!!
I am a denim hater. I tried Madewell on a whim and I am obsessed with the fit and comfort of these. The fit perfect and are extremely flattering, comfortable, and versatile. I can’t recommend them enough.

Feb 13, 2025Great fit
The color is a nice washed black. They're comfortable and look good especially with boots or a shoe with a heel.

Perfect everyday jeans- FitTrue to size
- Purchased usual size27
Jan 30, 2025Perfect everyday jeans!
I bought these last week and love the fit. It’s nice to find a pair of jeans that aren’t tight nor are they wide; they perfectly skim my legs. They’re great for ladies with larger thighs! Love the high waist, I’m not sure how I ever endured low-waisted jeans. They are long, so I cuff them if I want a shorter look. I am 5’7” and wear a size 27 which is my normal size. The denim has some stretch which is awesome. Thanks Madewell for making jeans for real women’s bodies!

Jan 29, 2025The best
I only wear Madewell denim bc they are just that good. This fit is perfect for curvy women that want a jean to fit snug through the hips and thigh and straight below the knee. The regular length hits me right at my ankle bone and I am 5’7. I usually grab a tall and cuff them when I wear docs or wear them uncuffed with ballet flats or sambas.

Jan 25, 2025Very good quality jeans
I purchased these during the most recent promotion and at first, I didn't think I would like the graphite looking wash. But, it does work well as an alternative to navy blue. I prefer dark washes.
