Comfy and flattering
I am four months postpartum and have extra belly fat that’s been making pants fit poorly. In some of these designer jeans I’ve been struggling to even fit into 34s because the material is thick and not stretchy. I was hesitant about these but the reviews said they ran big and were stretchy so took a chance. They fit great at a 32! They are stretchy. I’m sure if a 33 was available I’d like that too, but I wasn’t uncomfortable in a 32. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is because they are a bit too cropped and the inseam feels a bit weird. Maybe it would be better if some of the waist wasn’t being taken up by my baby fat. I’d recommend renting them and would consider buying.

So comfy!!
I love the pattern of this and the color. It’s super thin but not see through. It would be perfect for a hot day and adds just enough interest. Definitely rent! I’m considering buying it.

Rent!
I got this in late spring thinking it would be thin and not too hot. But it ended up being too hot a spring so I only wore once. I'd tent again and probably buy. It fit great and the pattern is awesome.

Rent it. I only wore once though because it ended up being too hot in spring than I expected. Otherwise I would have worn way more.

Not great for postpartum belly
I thought these would be great, but they are too tight after being postpartum four months. The straps were too short for me being on their longest position. I could get it closed, but it just was tight around my waist and accentuated my belly fat. The style was nice though.

Wore them a lot
They are a little see through but they fit good. I've been wearing a 33 and these fit good. Have extra belly fat from being four months postpartum and they were good still

The pattern is great. The fabric is great. No complaints. Sizing up gave it an oversized feel.

Super big and long
I wore them once, but they were ridiculous and looked bad even with a belt. I think they'd be fine if I sized down. I have lots of lower belly fat from being postpartum, and everything has been too tight in that area. Not these!

Just ok
I don't know if I would rent this again, not for any particular reason. Felt meh. I thought it would be more light jacket or cardigan like, but it was definitely more bulky heavy cardigan or jacket like. I couldn't wear it all day or I'd get too hot. That kind of makes it meh for me. It's very comfy and warm though and I do like the pattern.

Didn't wear this
It fits fine, is a bit cropped. It does have shoulder pads but they aren't noticeable or weird. I just didn't wear it because I'm currently pregnant and couldn't figure out how to style it. I love the pattern though and may consider getting again when not pregnant. The fabric is a bit clingy too and not soft, like more of a synthetic material.

Only giving it four stars because the pearl buttons are very hard to use and undo. It's also green and pink even though I thought it looked more orange from afar.

No complaints. Some other reviews mention it being scratchy. I'd say it has a scratchy feel to it but not in an annoying way. It's not itchy.

Cute but heavy
It fits great. It's a bit cropped so I wore a shirt under it for work. Would be fine with some high waisted pants. It's very heavy, not in a thick warm way but a literal way; the yarn is just very dense. That and it being cropped ish is why I'm only giving four stars

No complaints. Fit just right. It is very lightweight for it being a sweater vest so could be worn in slightly hotter fall days too. The arms are very breezy as well.

This is the perfect blazer. It’s on the longer side which I didn’t mind. It was light weight and could be worn with jeans so I didn’t feel awkwardly overdressed at work since blazers aren’t normally my work vibe. The color is great too. Only gave four stars because I struggled to find the right shirt to wear underneath.

Shoulders are odd
The shoulders are odd, it’s hard to describe. The fabric doesn’t stretch so when you move your arms the shoulders don’t move well with you. Otherwise, I did really love it. It could be dressed up or down, and I got some compliments with it. It feels work appropriate but could probably be used as a cardigan too.

Just meh maybe?
I was excited to receive these, but I ended up only wearing them once. I’m not sure why. I love overalls but I like wearing shirts underneath and maybe it didn’t look right with something underneath? Otherwise, it was fine.

Pattern isn’t as obvious
I didn’t actually wear these, but that’s because I’m around 16 weeks pregnant and stuff is starting to not fit right. I think these would have been great though and fit fine. The pattern wasn’t as obvious as I thought they would be based on the pictures, and the pattern felt a little less cool and unique which made me a bit disappointed. So I’d say they aren’t bad but they are also meh maybe and fit like normal.

Love these
I have no real negatives. They are cute and can be dressed up or down. I guess if I had to be picky, they hit my ankles a little too high so I gave them a four instead of five. But I’m early pregnant and they still are fitting my waist at 16 weeks. Def worth the rent.

Thick
This fabric is pretty thick, so it would not be good for the summer. I also thought it would be oversized based on the description and some comments, but it was kind of tight on my arms. If you have slightly larger arms, I would size up and embrace the oversized look. I would probably save this for cooler weather too.

Too big!!!
I really like these pants, but listen to the reviews and size down. A lot of these high-end pants tend to fit tighter than normal for my body type, so I thought a size 31 would be sizing down. But I could have definitely gone with a 30. It made my butt look a bit saggy as well as in the crotch, or you have to pull them up pretty high. I did wear them once and I wanna wear them more because they’re cool

Not stretchy
I’ve worn size 31 from this brand that are stretchier and they are perfect. But this pair is not stretchy at all. I couldn’t get it zipped over my bulgy belly. I would size up especially if you have some belly fat.

Awkwardly short
These has a nice shape and hit the waist good. I go between a 31 and 32 depending on the brand and fabric. I have extra belly fat from a baby and these were still loose around the waist at 32. The shape would definitely be more flattering sizing down. However, these are just way too short for someone with moderate to long legs which just is a no go for me.

Short for long legs
The fit around the waist and butt are perfect. The fabric is stretchy but still holds in my belly fat enough, and overall these are super comfy. The only reason I can’t give five stars is they hit at an awkward length. For ankle jeans, they are higher closer to the calf.

Super flattering
The material is a bit thicker. I was hesitant about the size 31 because I go between 31 and 32, but the jeans sucked in my pooch well and weren't terribly uncomfortable or tight. I kept them for two cycles too. Look great on my butt.

Love them, rent them!
These has a slight barrel but it's great, especially if you have some thicker thighs. They are very flattering. The material is thin and comfy and stretchy. If you are between sizes, size down I think. I originally got a similar style of Le Jean in a 32 and they were too big. The 31s are perfect. I would probably buy if they weren't expensive!!!

No real complaints about these. I wore them several times. They hit my ankles just right. I just think I'm looking for something with a little less of a wide leg. They are great for work or going out.

Great fit and fabric
I loved these a lot. I just don't know how to style jeans like this well. I have a short torso and like to tuck shirts in. I used a standard brown belt and it made me feel like a cowboy. I think if I had used a thinner belt it would have been better. Otherwise, I liked a lot.

Thin and comfy, very flattering
I loved these so much. I have extra belly fat and they fit great. The fabric is super stretchy too. I think sizing down would have been a better fit because the extra fabric accentuated my belly. So I would say runs large. Do not hesitate to rent!! Slight barrel is so flattering especially for bigger thighs.

Thin and see through, did not work for postpartum belly fat!!
I couldn’t even get these to close. They fit my thighs though I think. And it was pretty thin and uncomfortable material. Like it would swoosh when walking.

Just meh
They fit fine but it kind of felt tight on my inner thighs. The length was perfect. I wish it had a bit more stretch. And the light wash color is just meh. I don’t love the plain light wash, it makes me look fatter and weird. I feel like something about the crotch proportions were off. I also have extra belly fat from being 10 months postpartum.

Really baggy for big people
The waist is really comfy for me because I have extra fat from being 10 months postpartum. However since my thighs are bigger, the proportions make the wide leg just too overwhelming. Great length for long legs though. Won’t be renting again.

Runs long! So comfy thin denim
These run long, like super long. I have long legs and they worked great, but still dragged a bit on the floor if I wasn't wearing shoes. I have a poochy belly which would bother some people with these pants since the denim is thin, but I didn't mind. It was the perfect high rise for my short torso and I still felt they were flattering. I didn't want to take them off! And got complements. Would get again.

Canvas like fabric, super baggy, just meh, color more khaki than ivory
They fit ok, but I wouldn’t say they were that flattering. The fabric was slightly too thick to work with the bagginess. I could probably wear to work, but idk if I’d wear them out anywhere. Just meh.

Not stretchy, size up for bigger bellies
I’m 9 months postpartum and have some belly fat. I usually wear a 31, but these has no stretch. So sizing up was perfect and fit my legs perfect too. It also sucks in belly fat since it’s not stretchy. Just wish they were a little longer, I’m 5’7” with long legs and short torso, so they are slightly too cropped for my liking. Would definitely rent again or maybe buy if I could find taller ones.
