These are more baggy than most skinny jeans. I'd call them straight leg before skinny. They don't fit as tight as you see in the photos here unless you were to size down. My measurements put me in a 4, but the 4 I got could be a little more 'skinny'. I'm hoping they'll shrink in the wash and not stretch with wear. They fit great otherwise. Thankfully not SUPER DUPER ULTRA LOW RISE like most of the jeans out there. I'm too short waisted and long in the torso for low rise jeans. They are much too low on me and rub against my hip bones and it sucks. I wear a 4 in Express jeans, and these are much more loose fitting than my Express skinnies.
