The wide leg jeans for a Saturday with nowhere to be

Some days call for jeans that let your legs move and still look put together. These wide leg jeans have a mid rise, a 25 inch leg opening and a fabric that is mostly cotton with a little stretch, which is worth knowing before you add them to a small wardrobe.

The fiber content is 78% cotton, 21% polyester and 1% elastane. Cotton gives the fabric its denim character, the polyester fills out the blend, and the single percent of elastane is what the listing means by stretch. That is a small amount, so think of it as a little give. The listing calls the shape a flattering wide leg silhouette, which is the seller’s description and a matter of taste rather than measurement.

The numbers that shape the fit are short. The rise is mid, listed at 9 3/8 inches. The leg opening is 25 inches, and the listing says its measurements are based on a size 27 waist. It also warns that sizing can vary and points to the size guide, which is worth reading against a tape measure before you order. The closure is a zipper.

For care, the listing says machine wash and gives no water temperature or drying advice, so the garment label is the place to check. The listing gives the origin as imported. The listing does not state the inseam, the weight of the denim or the wash color, so those are worth confirming on the product page before you decide.
