Runs SMALL
I usually wear a 4 or 6 in W&W but these are SO small. Even with stretch they fit more like a 2. Go 1 or 2 sizes up

Frayed Hems
These jeans are beautiful and fit perfectly. However, no where in the description did I see anything about the hems been intentionally frayed. If you look closely in the photos, you can see it but it wasn’t in the description. It’s not a bad thing and I’m probably going to keep the jeans since they look great and aren’t too high waisted, but wanted people to know before buying.

I have 3 pairs of W&W jeans in the same size which fit perfectly. Ordered these in that same size and they’re 1 to 2 sizes too small. Super annoying. I also agreed with another review about the frayed hem, that was not in the description.

size up
I tried these on in my usual size in store while on vacation in SoCal. Usually for me it seems like W&W jeans run a little big but NOT this time. It was surprisingly tight and uncomfortable in my usual size. I could still close it but it felt too snug for comfort. I’m guessing it may stretch with some wear but I don’t like when my jeans are that tight, even for a little while. I sized up one size and ordered via mail. Tried them on and they fit better. Size up one size and it’s good! I like the feel. The material is thicker than other “jeans” from this brand. The frayed hem doesn’t bother me. It is a bit long in length but I am only 5’3” so that’s more of a me problem with most jeans.

good fit but very small
Thank goodness I listened to reviews and sized up… by 4 sizes and it fit me perfect. I wish it gave an option to select “short” because the jeans are long. For reference I am 5’3 with longer legs compared to torso, I have big hips so I struggled with putting these jeans on; however they are not uncomfortable when I’m sitting down and still do have a shape wear type of feel. I’m usually a size 10 however I got these in a size 14
