Product Details
Our Perfect Summer Jean gets a year-round makeover thanks to a slightly longer inseam and a just-right darker wash. With a '90s-supermodel-inspired high rise that perfectly accentuates the waist, these look like the kind of wear-forever vintage jeans that are far too hard to find.

Must have jeans
I'm usually a 27 in madewell and other brands and initially ordered the 28 based on reviews, but they were sooo tight! I could button them up but that meant I wasn't going to breath for the rest of the day... so I went with 2 sizes up 29. I am 5'3 and the length of these jeans are perfect! Perfect length to roll it up or just wear them down with flip flops. I've never had a jeans with no stretch but these are so cute! And makes my butt look amazing!! But it if you can find the right size!

The vintage/boyfriend/mom jeans of my dreams
I have tried to make boyfriend-style jeans work for years -- i love the loose, soft style, but they ALWAYS fall down. THESE, however, are, as madewell claims, Perfect! -- not too loose, not too fitted, the comfiest, softest denim (despite not having stretch, which is usually too uncomfortable for me), and have a lovely high waist-- which besides being stylish, keeps them from falling down!
I am 5'11 and usually wear a 27 in madewell jeans. The inseam is a tad bit longer than the "perfect summer jeans" and worked perfectly (PLEASE madewell start making ALL jeans/overalls in tall lengths!) I sized up to 28 in these since they don't have stretch-- they fit a bit loose in the waist but since they are high waisted, they don't fall down.
BUY THESE JEANS!!!! they're wonderful!

Very Stylish!
I have debated getting these jeans for a while thinking I would never wear them or nothing would go with them! I was so wrong! These look super cute with booties or sneakers (white pumas from madewell especially).
I would recommend going up a size, there isn't any stretch. Looks good on any body type!

Simply Amazing.
I tried these jeans on in store after loving the color of the wash. When I put them on I realized they are the perfect boyfriendish jeans I have tried on! They are perfect and amazing. Buy them,you won't regret it. I am 5'3 and wear size 25 and they look awesome. Yet another holiday gift for myself! Thanks Madewell.

Great relaxed fit - be careful of the rips
I've been looking for a pair of relaxed "vintage" fit jeans for a while and decided to invest in this pair from Madewell. The fit is exactly what I wanted, and I wear them every chance I get!
My only concern are the rips. I'm 5'4'' and the distressed sections fall right at my knees, and they sometimes rip wider when I bend my legs. It's not a big deal but I don't want my knees to get too cold!

..actually perfect
Love these jeans! I got them in my normal madewell jean size and they fit great. They are straight legged. I'm 5'6" and they are a good length, I roll them twice with ankle boots. The color and fit is perfect!

Perfect boyfriend fit
While I will admit the sizing is a bit off for me, it is worth it for these jeans. I wear a 27 in Madewell but I went up to a 28 for a slouchy fit, and I am in love (the waist is big though). I have received loads of compliments on these. They definitely have a cool vibe to them and are super comfortable. Definitely recommend!

My favorite distressed jeans
If you aren't ready for full on boyfriend style jeans, these are 100% for you. They're still well fitted, especially around the butt, and they have the boyfriend feel on the bottom. My only suggestion is that they could be made out of a slightly more stretchy material so that I don't have to unbutton after large meals :P

Absolutely fantastic jeans!
I have to admit, after owning these jeans for only a few weeks I have worn them no less than 7 times! What I love most about them is how they really hold their shape because of the high Cotten %. No stretching, No bagging-out.
The material is high quality, and the cut is super flattering. They are well worth the investment!

perfect relaxed fit
i absolutely love these jeans. they are so comfortable! because they are 100% cotton and because i wanted them slouchy i sized up. i also think they run small. but they are a great relaxed, comfy, everyday pair of denim!
