    I haven’t had much luck with Universal Thread jeans but, these worked! I took the advice to size up and the fit, there is just enough stretch for comfort and short girl friendly! I just wish they had all color options available non-distressed for work!

    I googled cropped jeans and these came up. Based on the pictures alone these jeans look cropped or at least above the ankle. Fortunately I was already placing a target and bought them. Unfortunately when I got them they weren't cropped as expected. These are regular skinny jeans. Avoid these if you're looking for cropped pants for the warm weather.

    Really cute if you can get the sizing right, I'm usually an 8 in jeans and a 10 was a bit tight. Didn't want to go up to a 12 as I a worried that might be too big, try on in store if you can but plan on sizing up 1-2 sizes. Button fly is manageable but a pain and not ideal, adds bulk as another poster mentioned and I did notice the buttons coming open on their own - would prefer a zipper. Ultimately I returned these jeans, too fussy.

    I am 5’ tall and 105 lbs with an hourglass shape and longer legs (for how short I am). I bought a size 2 Regular and they fit me perfectly! Loose enough to not be considered skinny jeans and very flattering on my hips, butt and waist. Perfect length as well. I’d say they run small because I usually wear a size 0 or 00.

    These are a cute fit and I like the rise and the way they fit the booty. I needed long lengths and I found they run a little bigger than regular length. So if you're getting a long, stick with your normal waist size. In regular you may need to size up.

    Overall fit is great but the black pair in general ATTRACTS EVERYTHING. No matter how many times i wash them i am constantly using a lint roller to keep them clean throughout the day. If you’re wanting this style i recommend any other color besides the black!!!

    Had to size up, almost 2 sizes. But otherwise fits like a dream. I’m normally a size 4/6 in target denim but had to purchase a 8. I’m 5’ 1” and I hate high rise jeans. These are mid rise and are perfect. Also the length is just right! Target please keep these around for us shorties!
