Lee Women's Instantly Slims Classic Relaxed Fit Monroe Straight Leg Jean

I purchased one pair of these jeans, and I ended up purchasing all three colors because they look so good. As an older woman, who is about 25 lbs. overweight, these are flattering AND comfortable to wear. I have always liked the LEE brand, but these are the most comfortable yet — they have just the right amount of stretch and control. I highly recommend them!The tag says to dry them on low. My dryer doesn’t have LOW, so I dried them on MEDIUM for about 20 minutes and allowed them to air dry for the remainder — they maintained their shape & sizing.

I love these so much I'm thinking of getting two more pairs! They fit great in the waist (comes to right around my belly button (size 10 short) enough room for thighs without looking baggy and the length are perfect with my favorite pair of boots. They feel sturdy enough to survive my lifestyle. I haven't owned a pair of jeans in about 5 years but I might be warming back up to them because of this pair of jeans.

They are wrinkle resistant, somewhat stretchy to help fit even if your size goes up or down a bit, the color is nice and true to advertised, they are comfortable and light, but the cut isn’t very feminine. If you’re alright with a more masculine cut pair of jeans, then these are for you, because the quality is excellent so far for the price.

I love Lee jeans because of how well they make they're jeans.They have a little stretch to them, so I know they will fit my body well. I recommend washing them in cold water when you get them, otherwise they shrink by 2 sizes (I just know this from experience)They look really nice, and they are at a reasonable price.I am very pleased with these, I am SO pleased I'm buying this style in every color they make.Can you tell I recommend them? Yep.Don't hesitate, just do it.

I ordered these in an 8L and 10R (the longs were out of stock). I am typically a 6 or 8 depending on the amount of stretch in a pant. I did 8/10 after reading someone’s review that had similar height and weight as me. The 8s were obviously too small and very tight in the leg. The 10s were better through the leg (still not what u would consider relaxed) and I was able to sit down in them somewhat comfortably. I also had a slight gap in my mid back. However, I am in my comfort above all era so I am sending back in hopes that the 12s give me some more room in the waist and through the thighs. I like the cut enough to do this one more time. But I am not sure how someone who wears an 8 in most brands and sometimes is a 6 needs a 12 in any brand.

Nice stretch, dark blue denim, fit well, and great length ( I’m 5’8” @ 128lbs) and I got the 33inseam, size 8 for comfort.But they do have that “mom” cut at the hips - at least on me. It’s back in style, so maybe I just don’t like it on me. So I returned them.

I wear size 16 and Lee jeans are my favorite. These feel a tad loose. The waist is perfect but the butt and thighs are a little looser than I am used to in Lee jeans. I would buy them again in the next size down. Length is great, I am 5’5”.

I have been wearing KMart Basic Editions womens short (not petite) jeans forEVER. I liked that they were on the less thick/heavy side and had a stretch without becoming over-stretched. I especially liked that they sat just below the belly button in the front but sat high enough up in the back that they were almost at the waist and didn't slide down my butt when I knelt or bent over. I found that they wore fairly well and washed well (I've worn them to do yard work and gotten them really dirty). I have been every size from 18 down to 6 (and up and down again and again) and still have been able to get my size in SHORT length. I especially liked that I could get them at regular price for under $20, sometimes on sale from $10-13. Unfortunately, they seem to be going the way of the dinosaur and so I've been forced to search for a replacement. I have been having a really hard time because I want a thinner material, in SHORT, sitting just at the waist (not mid-rise), straight but not tight, with some stretch, and with good-sized pockets, and a price that is reasonable. I can't wear Gloria Vanderbilt (they're just too tightly cut in every size); I find Dickies too "industrial"-looking and the material too heavy; in many store brands the material is too heavy or not stretchy enough and most don't come in short in a cut I like.Add to all this that I've been trying to buy online because I need jeans and the pandemic has resulted in a lot of store closures.I read a lot of reviews for many brands and finally settled on trying Lee.I am currently a size 6 (at the large end of the size range), but depending on cut and stretch could be an 8; short (not petite) length (29 inch inseam). I am 5'2", 132 lbs (but this fluctuates upward) and carry weight a little bit more at my waist and hips.I was on the fence as to whether to give the Lee jeans 3 or 4 stars, but since I just ordered a second pair I think it's only fair to give 4 stars. With that said, they are the best replacement that I've found so far for my KMart jeans, but they are by no means comparable. Here's why: 1. The waist band is fairly thick and it bunches at the button when I sit down, sticking me in the belly button and giving me the dreaded sweaty waist. 2. The jeans material itself has some stretch (not so much in the waist) but the material is a heavier weight than the KMart jeans--perhaps more of a mid-weight material. For some this might be a plus but on a hot (80 degree), humid, sunny day, the Lee's are definitely hard to wear comfortably, whereas I had no issue with my old KMart jeans. 3. Some reviewers commented on the minniscule front pockets and they weren't kidding. If I still had my old flip phone I would have to turn it sideways to get it in; it won't fit an iPhone. The front pocket needs a reality check and a redesign. But given my limited jeans options, I put up with it. 4. Others would consider $23 or so reasonably priced, but for jeans that I am going to beat up (gardening, cleaning the house, getting bleach and stains on them, etc.) I really want to have a good chance of paying under $20 and I couldn't get there (I had to hunt around to find them for $23-ish).Now for the good points: 1. They do not ride down my butt in the back (the way mid-rise jeans with stretch do on me), but instead stay firmly at my waist. This is the first pair of jeans out of the ones bought in my replacement "quest" that stayed put. 2. They have a small amount of stretch but did not stretch out in the washer and dryer (hot and hot settings). 3. They come in SHORT (petite is the wrong cut for me).When the stores reopen I will give up the on-line search in favor of trying on jeans in the stores, but for now these Lees are as close as I can get to my old Basic Editions jeans--sort-of.I hope this review helps anyone else hunting for replacement jeans.

Arrived on time. I like the way it fits my body. The jeans is a good made jeans. I buy it in the long, which was perfect length I wanted.

Confortable,

Soft comfortable jeans of a perfect length in long for 5.7 and taller women. At first I thought the jeans had shrunk and were too tight but they stretch out just enough to fit comfortably. The fabric is nice like jeans of old, in that they look and feel like 100 % cotton that has worn soft.

Plutôt bien pour les formes en H ou V, mais pas en A car trop large à la taille.

Excellent product very comfortable to wear very good quality too I would buy these jeans again
