The straight leg jeans for a Saturday full of errands

Check price on Amazon Opens Amazon.com · affiliate link

A high rise jean with a relaxed straight leg, cut neither tight nor wide, for the days that are mostly walking, sitting and running errands. It comes in two inseam lengths and a cotton blend fabric with a little stretch built in.

The listing describes high rise jeans with a relaxed straight leg: the waist sits high and the leg runs in an even line, with room through the thigh. Two inseams are offered, 28 inches and 30.5 inches. The shorter is called a full length for those who like less fabric at the ankle, the longer an everyday jean. Which one works depends on your height and how you like a hem to meet your shoes.

The fabric is 67.3% cotton, 31.9% polyester and 0.8% spandex. Cotton leads, but polyester makes up nearly a third. Spandex is under one percent, so the gentle stretch in the listing means a little give for sitting and walking, not a legging feel. The listing does not state the denim weight, the rise in inches or whether the jeans are lined, so check the size chart.

Details are classic: functional pockets, belt loops and a button closure. The listing suggests pairing them with sweaters, flats, sneakers, sandals or boots, and what looks best there is a matter of taste. Care is machine wash, and they are imported. The title mentions tummy control, but no bullet describes a panel or special construction. The high waist is the only related feature given.
