The style and color of these jeans added a much needed update to my jeans wardrobe. The Perfect Waist feature is great because it fits snugly without pinching, and doesn't gape at all. The straight legs are not quite as tight as skinny jeans, which is good for my "thick" thighs and calves. They are flattering and I usually receive compliments when wearing them. The only thing that I don't like about them is the back pockets. They are flap style and don't lay flat after washing without ironing them down, no matter how I work to make them. I will be more careful to avoid that pocket style when ordering 525 Perfect Waist jeans in the future.
