Q: Do these shrink after being washed?

submitted by Hmj5987 - 1 year ago
  • A: Wet them again and stretch the legs to your preferred length. Good luck!

    submitted byMimi - 3 months ago
  • A: Hello Hmj5987 - We appreciate your interest in this item. Yes, these jeans will likely shrink because of their cotton and Lyocell content, as natural and semi-natural fibers can contract when washed and exposed to heat and moisture. Happy shopping at Target. – Alvin

    I wish they made long

    They would be great if they weren’t so short they are perfect for people who are about 5 foot two and shorter other than that. They’re above the ankle but not considered capris but just look very off. The material is great and they’re wonderful pants and they fit great. The material is my favorite, but I’m 5’7and it just looked very awkward

    Actually Jeggings not Jeans

    Target is cheapening their clothes. Re ordered these jeans because I thought they were a good value when I bought them a few years ago. Read the specifications closely. They are now "cotton rich" with only 50% cotton, down from 80% of prior styles. (Look at the specifications on the sale jeans vs these). They fit more like jeggings than actual jeans.

    Didn't expect them to be so tight and spandexy in the hips and the thighs, when it said they were straight leg.

    Strange cut!

    These jeans are very strangely cut. I bought medium wash and am usually size 2 or four and had to buy size 6. The waist and hips fit nicely, but the legs are loose in the thigh, very wide at the knee then tapered to the hem. On me, they look like mom jeans. I gave two stars because they are well made with nice material

    Nice basic staple

    Bought the light wash- lovely staple color. They do run a size small. I am usually a size 0 (5’2” and 112 lbs) and these fit best in a 2. The inseam hits right at the top of my foot and is a very versatile length- nice with sandals and sneakers. Stretchy but some structure.
