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 only seem to wear Wit and Wisdom jeans and have pretty much been living in these (I haven't been impressed with the NYDJ that I also bought). They have just the right amount of stretch and are very forgiving and flattering. For reference I bought a size 4, am 5'2", a bit curvy, 113-116 pounds and 68 years old.

Runs small
Bought these in my regular Wit and Wisdom size of 4 and they were too small. Ordered the size 6, still too small. Interestingly the size 6 is smaller in waist and legs than the size 4 black Wit and Wisdom skinny jeans that I just purchased again from the Anniversary Sale that fit me well. This particular style I’m reviewing is a swing and a miss.

Jeans are Too Tight
I ordered these jeans in my usual size 4 and they came small. They were too tight overall, especially in the calves area. I had to return them. On the other hand, the same brand jeans in the straight leg style fit just right and I am keeping that pair.

Are you kidding
This review is not against Nordstrom. It’s which ever manufacturing company is making these jeans. I have been wearing wet and wisdom for many years. I have worn these exact jeans multiple times and always hover between a 10 petite and a 12 petite. Anniversary sale to 2025 comes along and I want a new pair so I purchased them in 12 petite. No, my size has not changed. I have multiple pairs of other W&W jeans that are 10 petite and 12 petite that fit well– I have these exact same jeans in black in a 12 petite and they fit just fine. Yes I know that there is different size variations of material based on the color but the fact that I could not even get these up is inexcusable. Again, I’m not faulting Nordstrom for this, but somewhere in the mix, the sizing is inaccurate.

Perfect skinny jeans

Love these but stretched out
I normally wear a 14, and if the jean has a ton of stretch, I can wear a 12. I ordered these in a 14. Now here's my story... I've ordered Wit & Wisdom in the past and know there's wonky sizing issues (sometimes a 12 fits like an 8 - or so I assume it fits like an 8 because I'm either not admitting I put on weight, or I don't really know what a size 8 fits like and if the 12 is too tiny for me, then it's obviously a sizing issue with the pants, not the width of my amazing thighs and/or waistline).
So look, I listened to the reviews on this that these were running small, and maybe they do a bit in the waist. That said, by the end of the day I looked like I was well on my way to wearing Hammer pants - iykyk, or a size 18 (which I do know how that size fits as I used to be in that one). In my brain, I had ordered both the 12 and 14's and I've been waiting for the 12's to come, but I guess perimenopause brain was lying to me because, in fact, I did not order the 12's. I do fear the 12's would be too tight on my waist (because the weight does like to sit in my waistline and not, once again, these amazing thighs - and also perimenopause). And now that I want to order the 12's, they're no longer in stock.
