I would not go up sizes like previous reviewers suggested. These are 100% cotton and will stretch out with wear. Go for your normal size, expect them to be tight, and wear them a lot without washing to stretch them out...theyll fit perfectly! I made the mistake of sizing up one size when I bought mine because my normal size felt too tight and it scared me and now Im stuck with jeans that are too baggy. I have since bought the correct size (my normal size) and they are PERFECT!!! So quality looking and total sexy in the most casual I don't try too hard kind of way. Not all wedgie jeans (or Levis for that matter) are created equal, and trust me...these are top of the line!
