Cute but lose their shape

Off the rack I loved these, they’re light weight and very flattering. However, the first time I wore them for a full day they stretched out strangely in the tummy/crotch. Because they have no stretch, when you stand up they’re just weirdly baggy there after a fully day of sitting. They did come back into shape after a wash but then hem shrunk up a bit so they’re now pants for flats only!

The lightest denim

The fabric is great, what a light and actually airy denim. Sizing felt a bit off- regular size a little tight- the next size up, so baggy. Ultimately sent both sizes back, but I’m still thinking about these ones..

Softest pant ever

My new favorite pant! These are so soft it feels like you should be wearing them at home while lounging. I have been dressing them up for work and throwing on a t-shirt on the weekends to run errands. They are seriously the perfect pant.

Perfectly soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair in this style. The olive is the perfect color moving into Fall. For some reason these are far too long on me. I didn’t have to hem them in another wash. They run true to size and are extremely comfortable. I know they’ll get worn a lot.

Wardrobe staple!

Bought this on impulse when I walked into the store and spied this fabulous color. They fit me *beautifully*, though they do run a bit large IMHO (I'm typically a 24 in most Madewell pants and purchased a 23 in this particular style.) For reference, I am 5'4", 108 lbs. athletic build. The 'Airy Denim' is a winner...light, comfortable, can be dressed up or down. Love, love, love these pants!
