Stovepipe jean in Rinse wash

I normally wear a size 0 and a 25 in a jean. I purchased a 25 and they are pretty tight. I am quite slender (5'7", 111 lbs. for reference) and they do fit snug. I wish they had a 26 at the time of purchase but alas they did not. I would recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit. The fabric is very nice quality and the length is longer than usual, which I find great so in the winter my ankles aren't cold.

I bought a pair of these about a month ago and loved them so much I bought a second! The fit reminds me of the jeans I wore in the 1980s: it's sleek, form-fitting, and high waisted, and a lot snugger than any other pair in my closet. That said, I'm glad I didn't size up, since the silhouette wouldn't be as clean if the waistline and seat were looser. (For reference, I'm 5'7", 138 lbs, and usually wear a 27/4 in pants.) The length is great too: it comes down over my ankle bone, which means I can wear these year-round with boots and shoes. Best of all, these jeans make me look two inches taller and ten pounds lighter. Can't argue with that, especially for someone who's pushing 50!

I normally wear a size 26 in J. Crew Jeans (skirt 0, pants 2). I have no belly whatsoever (but plently of backside) and I find these tight across the abdomen. This is an issue because the jeans don't stretch much. They are loose everywhere else and look great--so the issue I feel is not actually visible. I would say order larger if you sometimes wear a larger size in J. Crew jeans.
