It can be hard to find a flattering pair of skinny jeans if you're not a skinny girl. These have just enough stretch but still hold their shape and don't go all baggy after a couple of wears. I found the fit to be true to size,but the length is a little long even with really high heels (I'm average height about 5'5"). But I have a good, affordable tailor so it's not a big problem to fix. Having to hem the jeans a bit is a small price to pay for the great style and look of these jeans.
