LEE Women's Instantly Slims Classic Relaxed Fit Monroe Straight Leg Jean

Comment

What a disappointment! I bought a 10 Tall in Rinse and loved them. They fit perfectly, just as straight leg jeans should. I have trouble finding pants that fit because most of them are horribly baggy, especially through the thighs. The fabric is great: soft and stretchy. Beautiful jeans. Five Stars So I ordered another pair of 10 Tall in Black...dummy here assumed they would fit like the Rinse (supposedly they have the same fabric content), so dummy removed the tags before trying them on. BIG MISTAKE. They were huge: baggy in the seat and thighs, waist too large. Awful. But now Im stuck with them because I cant return pants with all the tags cut off (I wont do that again). The fabric is not soft and not very stretchy. I hate them. I washed them on medium and dried them on medium hoping they would shrink. They did a tiny bit but not enough. Next Ill try hot/hot and see if that helps. Otherwise, its into the donation box. Very unhappy. I blame myself for removing the tags before trying them on, but the description at the site is wrong and I think people should reasonably expect two pairs of pants that are the same in everything but color should fit the same. Zero Stars I looked at the tags in both pants. The Rinse pants were made in Egypt, fabric content: 79% cotton, 19% polyester, 2% Spandex. The Black pants were made in Mexico, fabric content: 83% cotton, 16% polyester, 1% polyester spandex. The site claims these two colors have the same fabric content. They do not. Even the buttons are different. Go for the Rinse (they actually fit like the photo). The Black are fine if you want loose jeans, but they are NOT trim, straight leg pants. UPDATE: the jeans I bought in mid-December 2105 (its early February 2016) have a broken zipper. I wore these jeans an average of twice a week, so I think I should expect better life from them! Very disappointed.

Theyre long enough, and comfortable because of the higher waist, but fit well and are not frumpy or old-lady loose. Love them! Yeah!

I have worn Lee Riders all my life, Im now 47 years old. I tend to buy two pairs and wear them until theyre totally worn out before buying another couple pairs. I have always worn size 6 petite which fit perfectly everywhere but are a little on the loose side, which I like. I usually keep a size 4 petite on hand as well which fit me just a little more snuggly though are not tight. My size 6 wore out completely so I decided to order them online which Id never done. I decided to be on the safe size and order a size 8 petite since I did not want them tight. I feared they might be too big and Id have to return them. To my shock, they are WAY too small in the thighs and WAY to big in the waist. I held them up to my size 6 petites and the thighs of the size 8 are much smaller (in fact theyre smaller than my size 4 petites) and the waist is huge, it bulges out about two inches in the back. So theyve completely remade their jeans so that I can no longer wear them. If I go up another size so they fit in the thighs, the waist will be so huge that I could probably pull them over my hips without unbuttoning them. If I go down a couple sizes so the waist will fit, Ill never get them over my hips. What a joke! These are shaped for a man! Im not a man! Im curvy! My old size 4s and 6s fit perfectly everywhere, they fit over my hips and curved in to lie smooth against my waist with no bulge in the back. So Im returning these and wearing my old size 4s until they wear out. I dont know what Ill do then. Im so disappointed. Maybe Ill add some pictures later, showing how they compare to my size 4s and 6s.

I’ve been wearing stretching waistband jeans. Hated how baggy they looked and with no back pockets. I happened to Be looking for jeans I wore before. I caught some helpful reviews and Ordered 3 different sizes..14,22,10. To my delite petite 10 was my present size. Even though I ordered 10 petite they are too long on me for flats. However Sneakers seem to hold the bottom hem up out of the way somewhat. I was 5’2 but expect I’m shorter now with middle age. But it’s nice to look and feel absolute comfort and fashion in my jeans again. Returns were easy and they shipped out my replacement size as soon as they saw my return was on its way. So no excess wait.

This is my third purchase of the Classic Fit Monroe Jeans, two from Amazon, and one from the Lee website. Amazons prices are usually better than Lees except when they are heavily discounted, for those of you who love a bargain but sometimes it is hard to get your size on Amazon! I am 53", 110 lbs., and find the 4 Short to be nearly perfect, slightly fitted without being too tight. Having purchased many different brands at widely different price points, these offer value for money. The fabric content varies according to color, I now have the tan, black, white and dark blue wash. The tan has a slightly softer feel than the other three colors which have the traditional feel of denim.
