Very comfortable and stretchy. I'm 5'8" and the length is perfect on me. I only wish I didn't order 2 sizes up. They seem true to size. I thought they'd run small like most other jeans I buy from Target.

JadeBunny - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
I rarely write reviews but I've been buying the same jeans for years and the newest batches of these are just horrible. They do run small but my problem is the length, I buy "long" like I always have, and they are too short. They run about 4inches shorted than before and don't cover my ankles anymore.
sizing: too small

Bought this same pair of jeans 2 years ago size 8 fit well, even a little loose. Bought the same jeans 2025 size 10 and they are actually tighter in the waist and legs than my old 8's, which is annoying because I was trying to size up. I'm 5'5 and weigh 125 pounds. Had to return item.

I always buy universal thread brand denim in the same size. When I tried these on, they were so small I couldn't close the button. I thought I had just gained a lot of weight or something but then I thought to compare them to my old universal thread jeans that are the same size and if anything, have shrunken from being washed and dried so often. Well. These new jeans are 2 inches smaller at the waist compared to my old pair. I am returning them

Based on other UT jeans I have, these are definitely sized smaller (and I’ve lost weight and gone done a size fwiw). So I’ll be returning this pair. However, I liked the overall cut, fabric weight (they don’t feel like jeggings) and rise but I’d suggest sizing up!

Runs small. I was trying to replace my former skinny jeans of the same brand I’ve loved for years. But sadly the sizing is way off and I will have to return them. Looking at the reviews I’m not the only one having an issue with this new fit. Also, they are very tight in the lower legs. There are no bigger sizes available so I’m not able to size up. I bought the blue jeans.

I have been buying these jeans the same size and style for years. I bought these recently and suddenly they fit but barely and if I sit down the lining digs into my tummy. I held them up to my old pair and they are quiet significantly smaller. Unfortunately they are out of stock now so I can't even exchange for a bigger size.

Material not flattering for black ones

1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
maaya - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have bought several pairs of this in the light-blue wash (now unavailable) and one in the dark blue wash, and then also in black. All same size (4 short), and the blue ones (light and dark) are true denim material without too much stretch. They give a really flattering slimming effect, I always look and feel like I lost 5 pounds when I wear them, but without them being too tight. For some reason, the black one is different material, or so it feels; it is stretchy and becomes bunched up and baggy at the abdomen, looking more like I GAINED weight. I already took off the tags and will wear them for that-time-of-the-month, but otherwise I hate them.

I have an older pair of this style which I love. I've gained a little weight and decided to get another pair a size up. The new pair was actually smaller than my first pair. I know sometimes sizing can be different even within a size so I bought another pair and they were still way too small. Sadly had to return them

These jeans have a great weight to them. I went up a size from 16 to 17 and they fit perfect. They look more like straight jeans which is what I wanted. I think they’ll be my new favorites.

Target please do not take these away again. My last favorite fit you made you discontinued and I’m not sure if it was to save cost but you chose to go with an unhemmed option that I am unable to wear to work. Please, please, please continue to keep a universal dark wash skinny with hemmed ends on the jeans roster!
