I'm old enough to have gone through several different eras of jeans fashions. Bell bottoms in the '70s, straight leg Levi's in the '80s and '90s, flare low-rise jeans in the late '90s, super skinny jeans in the past few years and now the super unflattering wide leg, cropped super high waist nonsense... that's happening now. I find low rise and high rise super uncomfortable and really hate flare, boot cut or bell bottoms. I generally like a straight leg and don't mind skinny legs but they're difficult to pair shoes with. I was really excited to find these mid-rise "boyfriend" jeans, which in my opinion fit like straight leg 501s. Just basic jeans. Not too high or low waisted, regular straight leg that's not cropped, no distressed look holes, bottom of leg is actually hemmed and not just a raw edge with strings hanging down. Comfortable fit, not too stretchy. They are cuffed in the store but if you unroll them, they're normal length and not creased or anything from the cuffing. I think they run a little big, so I bought a size down and they fit great. I bought the faded ones and the dark wash. I wish they came in black. They look good with any kind of shoe- sneakers, cowboy boots, clogs, flip flops. I'm really happy to have found these; it's so hard to find normal jeans these days. I probably will get a couple more pairs and hoard them before they are discontinued and I have to live through another awful jean fashion era.
