so cute

I bought these jeans size 6 and really like them. I’m 5’3” 150lbs and the fit is near perfect. They are a little long on me, so I decided to order the 6 petite as well. IMO, they are so cute. I tried them on with a cute pair of 2” platform clogs and I thought they looked amazing. The barrel leg isn’t too much. Definitely a keeper for me.

Wonky back stitching

For some reason, Wit and Wisdom jeans tend to have poorly sewn back pockets. This pair had a misaligned back yolk and pockets. The right side was noticeably lower than the left. The denim fabric is nice and substantial but overall quality is poor.

smelly denim

These jeans fit perfect. They’re not too barrel. However they STINK like moth balls or formaldehyde which is used in the dye and shipping to keep critters away. I’ve washed these four times and let them sit in the sun twice. They still smell. Sadly I have to return these because I’m not walking around smelling like moth balls.

Surprisingly flattering

First time trying the oh-so-trendy barrel-leg jeans, and wow! Winner winner! The fit is amazing for hourglass shapes. "Barely barrel" is apt; it's a nod to the trend without being comical for normal people. Price is great too. These do shrink a little in the dryer, which worked out well for me because now they are a perfect full-length jean for me (5'4").

heavy material

If you like heavy jean material, this is it for you. Wasn’t what I was hoping. Needed more lighter thin material denim. Barrel legs are modest and not exaggerated.

Great Jeans

I snagged these adorable barely barrel-shaped jeans on Anniversary sale and they're perfect - I just sized down to 4P and they fit like a charm!
