I wanted to love these jeans, but as a woman who is almost 45 there was way too much stretch in them. i am always a size 26 and i couldn't wear these, they were way too tight! they went back the next day. i will say, it could be my body type, i"m a runner so my legs are muscular. if you have very thin legs, these could be great and work for you. i loved the color, dark blue.
