A familiar size does not tell the whole story of a pair of jeans. In our August 2024 upper hights feature, staff tried five styles, including wide and straight-leg silhouettes, to compare their fit.

From the lightweight THE LAZY CINDY to the wide straight-leg THE SISTER, each style fits differently around the waist, hips and hem. Considering the balance through the hips and thighs broadens your choice.

Sitting and crouching, as well as standing, can help you judge a fit. The original report includes photographs and size comparisons. Use this archive as a starting point for finding a comfortable pair.
