These jeans are a go too what do you want to dress them up or dress them down or just wear them out and about?, I have these jeans in a size 2 and a size 4 in different colors top preferably because I like an actual length pass my ankle, I'm 5"4 I even think I've purchased a few of these jeans over ...like multiple times oops (the more the merrier (; I would recommend washing them in cold wash drying on, medium to low heat and not washing your jeans. Often jeans are not meant to be Watch every time you wear them you can go about four times wearing it without washing them! They do tend to stretch out overtime, but when you wash them, they belong back, which is the reason why I just purchased a few from Levi's because I'm an athletic in my mid 30s and Levi's and Old Navy jeans confirms to the body so it's very comfortable loose, but not too loose very for feeling I guess you can say. I can wear anything from our 26 waistline to a 27 waistline, I have some with white heaps so I love when it comes a little bit up it kind of fits like high waisted, but for a more looser fit, I would say to stick with a 26 or 27. It doesn't matter because overtime it will become loose so even if you get a 26 of a work for you.
