These are great fitting stretchy jeans. Because they give like they do, they are extremely comfortable to wear. There are several downsides to these jeans though. The bleached out color at the thighs accentuates and makes them stand out in an unflattering way - especially after two or three washings. The thighs of your jeans will become considerably lighter - a stark contrast to the nice dark slimming shade of the rest of the jeans. In other words, these jeans will add visual pounds to your shape. The other downside is that these jeans do stretch somewhat out of shape with washings. They will look old and worn, primarily because of the white-washed thighs. Though, still very comfortable to wear, they will require pulling-up often. These jeans would be far more figure flattering and a comfortable treasure in a dark all-one color style.
