The jeans for a Saturday that starts with no plan

Some days start with no plan and end somewhere you did not expect. These are wide straight leg jeans with a high waist and an elastic waistband, made from 71.5% cotton and 25% polyester with a little stretch from 1.5% elastane.

The fabric is listed as 71.5% cotton, 25% polyester, 2% viscose and 1.5% elastane. Cotton makes up most of it, so this is a cotton led denim, with polyester, viscose and elastane making up the rest. The listing says the added elasticity helps comfort and fit and keeps wrinkles down. It does not state a fabric weight, so how heavy or thin the denim feels is not something the specification answers.

The cut is wide through a straight leg, with a high waist and an elastic waistband. Wide and straight is a silhouette, so whether it flatters is a matter of taste rather than measurement. The listing suggests a loose tee or a camisole tank on top, and either sneakers or heels below, which gives the shape two quite different moods. For a wardrobe with one rail, that range is the useful part.

The listing names picnics, amusement parks, party nights, music festivals, casual outings and commuting as occasions. It lists the care as machine wash and the origin as imported. The material provided lists no sizes, no rise and no inseam length, so check those on the page before ordering. It also does not say how much stretch to expect beyond the 1.5% elastane.
