These are more stretchy jeans instead of jeggings--using the word jeggings implies that these are leggings that are seamed like jeans and will pass as jeans. These jeans run very small. I usually fit snugly in a junior's 5 and a little loosely in juniors 7. Because I thought these were jeggings and would conform to me I bought the size 7. What they sent me was a 9 (even though it's not what I ordered, but turns out it was fortuitous because they run so small) and they fit me like my size 5's do. Still lovely jeans! Just not jeggings and they run small.
