I love these, my favorite brand of jeans for the past 10 yrs. They feel nice on and the material does stretch a bit, which means they don't feel binding. I do have to wash them, though, after a few wears, as they stretch and washing brings them back into shape. I buy no other brand anymore since finding these Jag jeans. I always get the boot cut style, I think it gives a slimming appearance to those of us who are more pear shaped, as compared to skinny jeans. So many women anymore wear leggings and skinny jeans, and I wonder if they ever really look at themselves as I don't find the look appealing at all.
