I'm so happy that low rise is back in style; I have a long torso and always feel a little goofy in high waisted jeans, especially because I don't have any curves at all, and no defined hips or waist, so low rise is my preferred fit. I'm absolutely a mid rise baggy wide leg jean kinda girl- the slou...chier, the better- but I really wanted a pair of jeans that would elevate my look with a slimmer cut without being skinny jeans or too tapered at the ankle, which I will gladly never wear again. Skinny jeans can disappear for good imo, they're horrid. I do love fashion and like to follow the latest trends, and this year all of the runway shows were about a very low rise, straight leg look that hits at the ankle, making them perfect for ankle boots, a ballet flat, a stiletto, or loafers- and these jeans hit the mark perfectly! They're super versatile and will be just as cute with a fitted tank top and sandals as they will be with a button up and an oversized suit coat with some suede loafers, or even an oversized tee and my Adidas sambas. I bought few different pairs of similar jeans, all low rise straight leg, from Free People, Zara, Madewell, and obviously these Gap jeans, and none of them fit the way I wanted except the Gap jeans, they just slipped on like a glove tailored just for me, and I immediately ripped off the tags and ran to leave this rambling and over caffeinated review. Please ignore the dirty mirror picture, I ran to get the UPS package in a bathrobe and tank top and immediately slipped these on. I did size up one according to the reviews, which made me really nervous because usually a 26 is huge on me so these definitely run large, so keep that in mind. They're a perfect fit and I think they'll fit even better after washing. For reference I'm 5'7 and a size 0 or a 25 in pants, but I went up to a 26 in these with a 30" inseam. Love, love, love- I have a feeling my wide leg jeans are going to be having a nice little rest in the closet for awhile!
