These are pretty good high-rise jeans--probably the best you'll find for the price. they're all one color, no whisking or fading, so they look dressier than your average jeans, and the cut through the leg is bone straight, which i think flatters most body shapes. i agree with the other reviewers--they are tight. i got these in a 25, my usual size, and they squeeze my belly. i probably could've sized up, but i'm waiting to see if they stretch out the way most levi's do.
