These jeans feel so comfy. I went with a size 13 but could probably have gotten away with an 11 because they are so stretchy. I love the retro look (even though my husband, with NO fashion sense mind you, doesn't get it). They are quite long. I had to hem them up about 2 inches and I am 5'8. My legs are short but still, I don't think anyone could wear them without a heel of some sort. Either way, they are super cool and I plan to rock them even if my husband thinks I'm weird!
