So, after two attempts I finally decide to give up on these jeans. First time, I ordered 25, my regular Calvin Klein fit. I love Calvin Klein jeans, and it is way less pricey than this one, but I have not been able to find CK mid or high-rise lately so I decided to try this brand after reading the excellent reviews. So, the 25 was really small, it wouldn't even zip up. So they are not really true to size. I then returned it and ordered a 27, which did fit but it was not really the same pair of pants as the previous one. First, they were not even black, but an obvious dark blue. And the cut does not really improve the silhouette like some reviewers claimed (and my previous Calvin Klein high rise did wonderfully - how I miss it! Should've bought more of them when I had the chance). It is just a regular stretch jeans which you could find waaay cheaper anywhere. These pants are definitely NOT worth 160 bucks.
