Wit & Wisdom offers a beautiful lineup of casually chic tops and pants in a full range of sizes from petite to plus. The brand specializes in laid-back looks that are consistently clean, classic and pulled together. Women with all body types seek out Wit & Wisdom clothing, particularly the brand's famous "Contour Shape Technology" jeans, which offer slimming, shaping and lifting in all the right places.
I’ve been looking for a “BLAKE” like fit and this is it. It has a hidden elastic wide high waistband that hugs the body but is not tight in any way. I have ordered more!

Wit and Wisdom what happened?
I have at least 5 pairs of Wit and Wisdom jeans. And love them. These jeans are sized completely different! I normally wear a size 6, but decided to order a size 8. They were way too small!!! The entire fit was different!
I was shocked!!!
Initially thought, OMG I’ve gained 10 pounds !!! immediately weighed myself.
I’ve actually lost 2 pounds. My size 6 Wit and Wisdom still fit perfectly.
And, these were very long for a regular size. But, that’s not a show stopper. The sizing change is.
Very disappointed in this brand!!Immediately returned. Thank you, Nordstrom for your return policy.

sizing is different
I have a few pairs of wit and wisdom and these run way smaller in the waist than other styles. I couldn’t keep them.

Sizing doesn't match description
I did get the Petite size, but given that the Regular's stated rise is 11.5 inches, I thought the Petite's might be a bit smaller. It's a lot smaller - feels like a good inch and a half smaller. The hips fit fine, but the waist is cut much smaller than my typical W&W pairs fit. It cuts in - at too low a spot - and the muffin top look is not one I'm going for. I'd consider buying the Regular size, but now I'm not sure I trust the stated measurements.
Fit: Runs slightly small

sizing not uniform in different colors
I first bought the indigo pair in a 12P and they fit perfectly. Then I ordered the mid blue artisanal in the same size and they were way good small. I tried the 14P and they were also too small.

Skimpy Pockets
These would have been perfect except they didn’t run the denim far enough into the front pockets so you see raw edge and lining, yuck! So sad. Everything else was great. Fit perfect, comfortable, love the detail on the back pockets but these are getting returned immediately.

nice work Jean
First I ordered a petite and received the regular fit in the mail. Had to return because the length was to long. All the tags read petite but it wasn’t. I reordered a petite again and was sent the correct length. Great color and fit

true petite fit
Finally a petite style that fits me perfectly. I usually have to try several W&W jeans before I find one that fits me. The petite inseam is about 27/28.
After washing and air dry, the fit seems the same though maybe a little shorter in length.

My Go To Brand
Sometimes you are just fortunate to find a brand that fits my body type. I like the quality, options and most importantly the fit - with that bit of ease at the waist. The cropped Regular versions usually fit my Petite frame perfectly, otherwise I go up a size if ordering a petite.

way too small
I usually wear a size 12 in this brand but since reviews said these jeans run small I sized up. But they are still too small.
