    Overall fit is great but the black pair in general ATTRACTS EVERYTHING. No matter how many times i wash them i am constantly using a lint roller to keep them clean throughout the day. If you’re wanting this style i recommend any other color besides the black!!!

    Nice denim fabric but if you have any curves at all, they will not fit. Super tight through seat and thighs, huge gapping at waist and do not hold shape throughout the day

    I love the look of these jeans. They seem like decent quality. But I’ve been buying Universal Thread jeans for years, always a size 2 or 4. I bought these in a 4, and they are disgustingly tight. They’re probably more like a 00, not even close to what they should be.

    My favorite jeans! I have these in two washes and they are so flattering with a variety of shoe styles — from winter boots to flats and sandals. As many reviews have mentioned, the sizing is a little off. In my opinion, they run one size small. I wear a women’s 6 in most brands (or jeans size 27/28) and the 8 in these fits me perfectly. I don’t mind the button fly, but I wish there was also a zip option.

    Fit great! Definitely more high rise then mid rise and I would say they run true to size or maybe a little big (I’m a 16/18 and the 18 was a bit big on me). Very flattering for an apple shaped body, a little stretch for the tummy area and nice, not too baggy, straight leg for smaller legs. Highly recommend.

    Mid-rise my butt

    MorganK - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    There is very little stretch and I'd like to know whose mid-rise they measured for this - they barely get to my hip before I run out of fabric. If you've got a booty these are not going to fit well. That said - the legs fit well although I wouldn't call them a slim fit. It's like they took three different styles of jeans and smooshed them together so they just don't fit as expected in any way.

    Sizing inconsistancies.

    Monica - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These are my favorite jeans as they have high cotton and flatter me BUT the sizing inconsistency is ridiculous. According to the size chart I’m a size 0 short but it was waaaay to small so I switched to size 2 short medium wash and it fit perfectly. But a little short. So I try to order a different wash in regular length but those are too small somehow yet way too long and the color was off. So then I exchanged to a different wash in 2 short. Should fit, right? Nah these are even shorter in length than my medium wash AND fit like a 00. Driving me insane!

    These are definitely better quality than American Eagle and even some Madewell jeans that I have owned. They have the right amount of spandex so that the jeans have comfortable stretch without being legging-like. They are truly midweight denim. And the best part is I have bought several pairs of various colors and have been consistently the same size. For the price, I highly recommend! The style fits my apple shape well.

    I'm not buying target jeans after this experience. These are getting returned. It runs small and the post doesn't say in the title button fly. The selection of jeans at target is horrible. Bring back consistency in sizing

    These Run Small

    LEM1217 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These run smaaaalllll. Some influencer said they were TTS and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I had to size up 1 size. Honestly, I probably could go up 2 sizes. I’m 168lbs, size 8/M and I could barely get the size 8 buttoned. I went up to a size 10 which buttoned more easily and fit well. I actually prefer the button closure - I think it’s more flattering on the tummy than a zipper. I would recommend these but be sure to prepare your ego to size up at least one size. 😬

    jeanless - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    4 buttons, no zipper, weird fit. What happened? Been buying this brand for the better part of 10 years because they were a good price for the quality. But most of all comfortable and functional. The same exact style in the same size I know fits (literally wearing), no longer fits me in the new version. The style and fit changes make them impractical (especially in winter) and not worth it.
