Great cut. Too big!

I am normally a size six and these were swimming in me. A 27 would have been a better fit. Super comfy and great cut though!

One of my favorites to date

These! These jeans fit so nicely and can really be dressed up or down. I wore them more casually today but can definitely see them working for a date night with a pair of heels. They are also a great length on me at 5’6!

So comfortably chic!

Extreme comfortable jeans, can be dressed up or dressed down. True to size, however they do stretch with wear.

Too long

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect barrel jeans and these were not it. They were too long on my 5’4” frame and just a slight barreling of the leg. My search continues!

So long!

Unless you’re wearing platform boots/tennis shoes or are blessed with long legs, these will be very long. I didn’t find rolling the pant leg very pretty but the look with the proper shoes was so nice!

Not for us short gals

Probably cute on someone many inches taller. The cuff wasn’t a good look in this style. Even with heels, no dice.

Comfy and cute

Easy to wear, good color, soft, great quality and material. I’m almost 4 months postpartum and finally a pair of jeans that fit my body type which is a little mom pooch heavy at the moment.

Expecting mama: good option

Ok I liked these pants but they were a little bit big. I find madewell can be funny with sizing. Sometimes I’m a 26, sometimes a 27 (not pregnant). For reference, I am 4.5 months pregnant and went to the 29 which was good to have the room but probably could have stuck with the 28 for this baggy style.

Cute and comfortable

Good fit for me. They were flattering on my body and I like the panel on the side. It's a pretty stretchy denim which I don't love. I'm more of a rigid denim girl. I just feel that it looks and feels more expensive. I like soft/stretchy denim like this for casual coffee shop days or traveling but not for work or going out. That might just be me tho. They do stretch out a little with wear and lose their shape just a bit so I would say size down for a more fitted look. I go between a 25 and 24 and I went with the 24 and I was happy that I did. Overall cute, stylish and comfortable tho!

Pretty comfy

Madewell jeans usually work well for me - these were good but felt a bit mom-jeansy with the high button fly and baggy leg. Not the worst but not the most flattering.

Sitting & standing jeans!

Shape wasn’t as defined in person, and they were a bit more high waisted than I expected. I really liked the fit, and they looked good sitting or standing!

Runs really big and stretches out quickly. After a few hours it looked like 1994 wanted their jeans back.

Runs big, not super flattering

Definitely size down! I wouldn't really call these barrel jeans, other than that they have a double seam down the side. They're more just straight leg jeans. Just okay!
