If you are in between sizes, I would size up. I am wearing my usual size, a 26. I am 5’10 and they hit just at the top of my foot. They are high-rise and perfectly straight. I wear these probably about four days a week. These are the only jeans I pack in my suitcase when I travel. I realize that they are stupid expensive but also these are the type of jeans that will never go out of style and will last you forever. I would literally throw away all my other jeans and just keep these if I had to. I am wearing the shade bryce. LTKStyleTip LTKOver40 LTKTravel
