A mid rise flare in stretch denim, with a 9.5 inch rise and a 23 inch leg opening. The listing gives three inseam lengths, so the fit is something you can measure at home before you order, not something you have to guess.

The Lee Legendary flare is a mid rise jean, and the listing puts the rise at 9.5 inches. That number tells you where the waistband sits on your body, so it is worth checking against a pair you already own. Below that the leg opens to a 23 inch bottom leg opening, which is the flare. Inseam comes in three lengths: short at 31 inches, medium at 33 inches and long at 35 inches. Size 10 in medium is written as 10M, so read the size label carefully.

The fabric is 99% cotton and 1% spandex, which the listing calls authentic stretch denim. That is almost all cotton with a small amount of give, and the listing says it moves with you. The jeans have 5 pockets, a zipper fly with a button closure, a logo patch and spade pockets. The listing notes that destruction details may vary by colorway, so the look can differ from one color to the next.

Care is listed as machine wash, and the jeans are imported. The listing does not state a wash temperature, a fabric weight or a model height, so those are worth checking before you order. How a flare sits over your shoes is a matter of taste, since the inseam you pick decides whether the hem skims the floor or stops higher.
