Skulptek demin. I have two pairs, both were on sale. One is a lighter wash crop with a loose leg opening, and the other is off white. They have a magical stretchy panel on either side of the zipper that works wonders on the tummy and doesn't stretch out over the course of the day. I can't remember how cheap the light wash was, but the white ones were $50 a couple of months ago. They are super comfortable; I wore the white ones on the plane all day in June and was comfortable all day. For reference, I'm 5'3", 128 and wear a 4, although a 6 would probably fit as well. I'm hoping to get back to 123-125, so I bought the size 4.

The leg opening doesn't look loose at all on the website pic linked, would you say it's looser irl?

Most of the jeans I bought recently were straight leg and high rise from Loft. For some reason the high rise jeans run bigger than their already vanity sizing so I took a size smaller than my usual size there. I have a ton of skinny jeans already so I didn’t need any more of those. DD actually just bought her first pair of straight leg jeans. She thinks they are really comfortable. She is not a fan of mom jeans though and mostly wears skinny. She actually has a pair of the Athleta Skulptek jeans that I bought her at Marshall’s a while ago. I bought them for me but they were too big so she kept them.

These are the same jeans I got that I gave to DD. They were marked down to $4 or $4.50. I bought one petite and one regular length. DD kept the regular length pair and I sold the petite pair. She’s petite but since they were cropped the regular length was better. Originally Posted by Twoboos

No, the white ones are definitely skinny. The crops that I got are like the others on the website, not loose on the bottom. Originally Posted by mom2binsd
