Riders by Lee Indigo Women’s Fringe Cuff Boyfriend Jean

Fits good! Not too long for me.
Something I’ll often run into the trouble of, is for whatever reason pants manufacturers seem to think wide hips mean long legs. I know so many narrow-hipped women with long legs, and wide-hipped women with “short” or average sized legs and a big bottom. I’m in the latter category. For whatever reason, it is often hard for me to find pants where the waistband will go around my hips, but the bottom of the leg won’t go past my ankles. I’ve gotten good at hemming the bottom of pants over the years because of this, but, luckily, I don’t have to with these! In fact, I often look for “boyfriend cut” jeans for exactly that reason, because they tend to fall just above or just under my ankles, while being the correct size for my hips and waist according to the sizing. These end just below my ankles, and won’t trip me over. (I’m 5’4” for reference). As much as I’d love to be able to rock the flattering boot-cut look, I can only pull it off on days where I’m wearing high-heel boots, and even then, I sometimes have to fix the bottom so the denim doesn’t go past my high heels. On a day to day basis where I wanna wear flip-flops or sneakers in the summer, it’s gotta be a boyfriend cut jean, so that it has the right shape and length, without being too circulation-cutting tight like skinny jeans would be. These pants fit PERFECT. The last boyfriend cut jeans I bought were from Levi-Strauss but they no longer have the boyfriend cut on here for that brand as far as I can tell. So I decided to take a chance on the Lee Indigo Riders series, and I’m so glad I did. It seems lightweight but durable, as long as you buy the correct size for yourself. These are not hugging my thighs (they’re not supposed to, it’s called “boyfriend” cut for a reason). But, they do make my butt look nice! And they hide my belly pouch reasonably well. If you’re looking for tighter jeans, instead of sizing down and breaking these like some reviewers complained of, these are *not* oversized, they’re boyfriend cut. Understand what that style means, and go buy yourself some skinny jeans if you want to wear tighter pants without ripping the seams with your thighs. These are not built to be super form fitting, they’re built to hug in a few flattering places and be slightly lax slacks type fit in other places. That’s exactly what I wanted, and that’s exactly what I got. Flattering but not “too sexy” and professional looking, kosher to wear around older family members, etc. I recommend these!

Comfortable
The fit was nice, comfortable. I am 5’6”, 153 lbs. and I ordered the 8. The material is the kind to stretch out after you wear it a while. I kind of kept pulling them up at the back. I think I would like to have tried a size 6. But, I really like them.

Fantastic fit and quality
They fit perfectly and are as cute as they look in the pictures. I’m buying another pair in a different color!

Feel great and fit perfectly
They feel great and have a bit of a comfy little stretch. I’m short and I hover between a 12-14, so I got a 14. I had to hem the bottom so they weren’t funky looking pants, but that was easy and I have to do it often anyways. I’ve had them over a year now and they are still holding up well.
