If you desire a tight more form fit in the top jean section then perhaps go down a size. These jeans have PLENTY OF STRETCH. So, for the relaxed slip on comfy look go for your exact size especially if you want more space for your tummy or hips and thighs. But, for more tight fitted look for jeans then go down one size. I personally wear size 14 but I preferred size 12 in these jeans because I think they look better when the top section of the pants are form fitted to create a better contrast with the wide leg loose section. Tight on top then loose at the bottom. BY SAYING TIGHT, I mean form fitted at the top. Please feel free to call or text us for help with sizing. Also, if the jeans are too long, we suggest shorten from the top instead of the bottom. You can just have your seamstress to fold the fabric up once then hem at the top section where the fabric meets the jeans. This will also make the denim section shorter as well. The jeans fabric is denim with spandex for great stretch. The front zips and buttons just like a regular pair of jeans. I highly recommend you stay in your exact size if you need extra space for hips, thighs or stomach. DO NOT GO UP A SIZE, there is no need to go up a size and they will most likely be too big if you do. Both the denim fabric and the animal print fabric are both faded with a distressed look to the material. The animal print fabric is not bright and shiny, it is more of a muted classic look. Pants have two back pockets to free up you hands. Wear this with almost any style top and for sure a variety of colors. Black tops will surely look great but try other colors as well like white, brown, or maybe even red. Red looks good with animal print. Dress it up with a pretty blouse or jacket or dress it down with a t-shirt. The fit, quality and fabric are excellent in every way. These jeans slip right on and they look great. The legs are super long and perfect for taller ladies. Petite or shorter ladies will need really high heels or will need to have the pants cut or hemmed. These Jeans measure 44 inches long and 32 inches inseam. Wide Bottom lower leg is very very wide like in the 70’s. These will go quickly again, so please order them ASAP.
