Wide leg jeans for the Saturday you have nowhere to be

These wide leg jeans are cut high at the waist with a loose, baggy fit and a raw hem. The fabric is 65% cotton, 33% polyester and 2% elastane, so there is a little give in the denim. The listing asks you to check the size chart before ordering, since the cut is meant to be baggy.

The shape is the main point here. The listing describes a wide leg, a high waist, a loose fit and a raw hem, along with a zipper and the basic five pockets. A raw hem means the edge of the leg is left unfinished, so it can fray a little over time, and whether you like that look is a matter of taste. The listing says the wide cut leaves room for movement and breathability, and that it suits a variety of leg types. That is the seller’s description, not a measurement.

The fabric is 65% cotton, 33% polyester and 2% elastane. Cotton makes up the largest share, the polyester adds body, and the small amount of elastane is what the listing calls stretchy. With only 2% elastane, expect gentle give rather than a clingy stretch. The listing calls the denim good quality and sturdy, but it gives no weight in ounces, so thickness is not stated.

Care is listed as machine wash, with no water temperature given. The jeans are imported. The text states no inseam, rise or length, so the size chart is the place to check before you pick a size, especially for a baggy cut where size changes the whole look. If you sit between sizes, that chart matters more than the label.
