LeeWomen's Instantly Slims Classic Relaxed Fit Monroe Straight Leg Jean

These jeans are very comfortable and I was able to say goodbye to muffin top. The top of the jeans hit at the top of my belly button and the best part, other than no more muffin top, is that I don't have to keep pulling them up! I hang dry my jeans, so I can't comment on shrinkage as I haven't experienced that. They seem to fit true to size. I would definitely recommend them. Update: I ordered a second pair in the same size and they are clearly marked size 6, but are too small.

I have long legs, these jeans are a great length for me. Overall great fit and look decent. I wouldn't give them points for amazing style, but they are absolutely fine for everything I need.

I have been wearing KMart Basic Editions womens short (not petite) jeans forEVER. I liked that they were on the less thick/heavy side and had a stretch without becoming over-stretched. I especially liked that they sat just below the belly button in the front but sat high enough up in the back that they were almost at the waist and didn't slide down my butt when I knelt or bent over. I found that they wore fairly well and washed well (I've worn them to do yard work and gotten them really dirty). I have been every size from 18 down to 6 (and up and down again and again) and still have been able to get my size in SHORT length. I especially liked that I could get them at regular price for under $20, sometimes on sale from $10-13. Unfortunately, they seem to be going the way of the dinosaur and so I've been forced to search for a replacement. I have been having a really hard time because I want a thinner material, in SHORT, sitting just at the waist (not mid-rise), straight but not tight, with some stretch, and with good-sized pockets, and a price that is reasonable. I can't wear Gloria Vanderbilt (they're just too tightly cut in every size); I find Dickies too "industrial"-looking and the material too heavy; in many store brands the material is too heavy or not stretchy enough and most don't come in short in a cut I like.Add to all this that I've been trying to buy online because I need jeans and the pandemic has resulted in a lot of store closures.I read a lot of reviews for many brands and finally settled on trying Lee.I am currently a size 6 (at the large end of the size range), but depending on cut and stretch could be an 8; short (not petite) length (29 inch inseam). I am 5'2", 132 lbs (but this fluctuates upward) and carry weight a little bit more at my waist and hips.I was on the fence as to whether to give the Lee jeans 3 or 4 stars, but since I just ordered a second pair I think it's only fair to give 4 stars. With that said, they are the best replacement that I've found so far for my KMart jeans, but they are by no means comparable. Here's why: 1. The waist band is fairly thick and it bunches at the button when I sit down, sticking me in the belly button and giving me the dreaded sweaty waist. 2. The jeans material itself has some stretch (not so much in the waist) but the material is a heavier weight than the KMart jeans--perhaps more of a mid-weight material. For some this might be a plus but on a hot (80 degree), humid, sunny day, the Lee's are definitely hard to wear comfortably, whereas I had no issue with my old KMart jeans. 3. Some reviewers commented on the minniscule front pockets and they weren't kidding. If I still had my old flip phone I would have to turn it sideways to get it in; it won't fit an iPhone. The front pocket needs a reality check and a redesign. But given my limited jeans options, I put up with it. 4. Others would consider $23 or so reasonably priced, but for jeans that I am going to beat up (gardening, cleaning the house, getting bleach and stains on them, etc.) I really want to have a good chance of paying under $20 and I couldn't get there (I had to hunt around to find them for $23-ish).Now for the good points: 1. They do not ride down my butt in the back (the way mid-rise jeans with stretch do on me), but instead stay firmly at my waist. This is the first pair of jeans out of the ones bought in my replacement "quest" that stayed put. 2. They have a small amount of stretch but did not stretch out in the washer and dryer (hot and hot settings). 3. They come in SHORT (petite is the wrong cut for me).When the stores reopen I will give up the on-line search in favor of trying on jeans in the stores, but for now these Lees are as close as I can get to my old Basic Editions jeans--sort-of.I hope this review helps anyone else hunting for replacement jeans.

I ordered two pairs because they fit like magic, look great, super comfortable and launder well. I’m 5’2”, 115 lbs and ordered 6 short and they were perfect.

These are soooo unflattering. It flattens out your butt and has way too much room in the thighs. So bad I don’t even want to use them for work jeans. I missed the rerun deadline, so it’s a waste of $25.the only pro is that the material is comfortable.

I got these for work and they are great for what I do. I am a machinist and they are very comfortable and durable material. I do a lot of bending, stretching, walking and kneeling. And I love how they they stand up to my activities. I have 4 pairs of them, because I work a 4 day shift and I will definitely be ordering more when these start to show signs of wearing out.

I went through and was discouraged by many brands and off brands of jeans that didn't fit right. So, I took a chance and bought the three instantly slims classic relaxed Monroe (dark wash) to replace the three jeans that had frayed at the inner crotch thigh area. I finally found jeans that truly fit since I went from a 16 misses to a 14 misses.They sit at the waist which is really good for a 60 yr old. 30 inch length is just right since I shrank a bit (use to wear 31 length).The jeans do feel like...well, jeans, a bit stiff like 100% cotton jeans... if you grew up in the 1970's and 1980's then you know what i mean. Lee Jeans are 81% cotton 18% polyester 1% spandex and made in Egypt.I will return again and buy more.

These didn’t fit me particularly well

Like many women, I struggle buying jeans (in fact, I hate it). I bought the long and they fit geat. Even after the first wash and a go round in the dryer, they're still long! Very comfortable, the waist sits in the right place and the colour is great.

Esun buen pantalón, lo que no le gustó fue que tuve que pagar gastos de envío

Confortable,

Soft comfortable jeans of a perfect length in long for 5.7 and taller women. At first I thought the jeans had shrunk and were too tight but they stretch out just enough to fit comfortably. The fabric is nice like jeans of old, in that they look and feel like 100 % cotton that has worn soft.

Material l00% cotton is a little stiff and attracts fluff. Hoping washing will soften them up. Fit well Ordered the short in size 8. Do not order down. as pants do not stretch.
