Too skinny through the legs for me and I'm not used to wearing jeans that are so tight in the belly. Ok, I could have gotten one size up but they said to buy one size smaller than usual. Traditional jeans are tight after washing and then stay stretched out once you wear. With the additional spandex in these, they revert back so you are always squeezing into the same tight jeans, wearing after wearing. On the positive side, the fabric continues to give as you sit so I didn't experience pain in my abdomen. As for looks, the stitching is the same color as the fabric (jeans usually have light-colored stitching on the blue jean) so they don't look like traditional jeans.
