Q: Sizing. Is there any stretch to these ?

submitted by Tmm - 5 months ago
  • A: I ordered these in white and medium wash both in size 8. They were 2 completely different sizes just by looking at them. People weren’t joking when they said size up. Im usually a size 6 in general. The white fit me in 8 and the medium wash were way too tight… I would need to try a 10, if not a 12. (Both have button fly closure) Hope this helps.

    I am 5’ tall and 105 lbs with an hourglass shape and longer legs (for how short I am). I bought a size 2 Regular and they fit me perfectly! Loose enough to not be considered skinny jeans and very flattering on my hips, butt and waist. Perfect length as well. I’d say they run small because I usually wear a size 0 or 00.

    Han - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
    These are a cute fit and I like the rise and the way they fit the booty. I needed long lengths and I found they run a little bigger than regular length. So if you're getting a long, stick with your normal waist size. In regular you may need to size up.

    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!!!

    Had to size up, almost 2 sizes. But otherwise fits like a dream. I’m normally a size 4/6 in target denim but had to purchase a 8. I’m 5’ 1” and I hate high rise jeans. These are mid rise and are perfect. Also the length is just right! Target please keep these around for us shorties!

    These jeans are perfect! They fit so comfortably around the hips and thighs, with just the right amount of stretch - not too tight, not too loose. The material moves with you but still holds its shape. Plus, they make your butt look amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a flattering, everyday pair of jeans! I’m 5’0”/215lbs

    I love the fit of these jeans! Now when I first tried them on I was offended. I’m always a size 4 in this brand (5ft5in 145 lbs). And they did not fit at all. But I read the online reviews and they said to size up. I had to order them in a size 6 and they fit perfectly! I love them!

    I really loved these jeans, but like all Universal Thread denim, they wear very quickly. By the pockets where they attach to the jean and on the inseam, they develop those small holes. They do not hold their color when washing either and have definitely faded. Bummer..
