Amazon Essentials Womens Standard High Rise Reviews Summary

Fit and Sizing

Pros:

• "I am so impressed with the high rise fit and how roomy they are in the thighs and hips."
• "These are perfect for me. they are skinny but not too tight."
• "Finally jeans that fit well in every way. I am 5'7, 145 pounds. I bought size 8 long."
• "These fit like a dream! I have problems finding a good fit but these fit well."
• "They fit perfect, they don't fall down every time you bend over. Very comfy."
• "They are true to size. If you have wide hips, this style will definitely work for you!"
• "They fit everywhere perfectly, the only thing I would suggest is add tummy control."

Cons:

• "Horrible fit. Stretch will not allow them to stay up, so you are constantly having to pull your pants up."
• "These were listed as High Rise, they fit like a mid rise."
• "These were so close to fitting well but the rise is too high and the waist too large."
• "The dark blue is a good inch shorter around the waist what the heck?"
• "I ordered a 14 and they are too big. I order a 12 and they are too small."
• "At the right size for my hips, the waist was too large and bending/sitting pulled down the back a little more than I'd be happy with."
• "The waist on the high rise is a bit more loose and the crotch has the tiniest bit of pouching."

Material and Durability

Pros:

• "I like that they are not a heavy weight denim."
• "I love that they don’t look skin tight."
• "The material is actually jean material, these are not jeggings."
• "Material is so smooth and soft."
• "Great quality, thicker material with a bit of stretch to it."
• "They are very nice material. Stretch jean material and nice and high waisted."
• "These are some of the most comfortable jeans I've ever owned."

Cons:

• "Feels like it won't last a super long time (but priced accordingly) - I will update my review if I find it wears out too quickly."
• "The material seems ok now, but it's just flimsy enough that I wonder how long they will look good."
• "The fabric is not very soft."
• "The material feels coarse and less stretchy than the average skinny jeans."
• "The material is cheap and I don't expect it to hold up long term."
• "The fabric is pretty thin, not your typical denim fabric."
• "The material is thin, more like leggings than jeans."

Color and Dye Quality

Pros:

• "I love everything about these pants. They fit great, the dark wash was awesome."
• "These look BEAUTIFUL on. The dye work is really nice; makes them look more stylish with little wrinkle marks at the top of the thigh/hip area."
• "I like a dark jean that is truly a dark jean."
• "I love the dark denim, I washed a couple times before wearing. I'm a little worried about dye transferring, at least to light fabric."
• "Color and material were good and as expected."

Cons:

• "I have washed these jeans 8 times and still get blue dye on my hands when I take them out of the washer."
• "The jeans fits very nice, material is comfortable, but the dye is fading, when you touch with your finger, finger turns blueish!!!"
• "The black rinse isn't black at all. Very deep denim blue instead."
• "They bleed all over."
• "These jeans have a chemical smell that does not go away after numerous washings!!!"
• "The dye in the pants literally rubs off on anything it touches."
• "These jeans have a good fit and everything, but the dye on them is horrible. Even after washing they stain my skin and stained my nice white adidas shoes."

Consistency and Quality Control

Pros:

• "One thing I really really love about these pants is the consistent sizing."
• "They are actually comfortable, they are flattering without cutting off my ability to breathe or bend lol."
• "I've never ordered these before and I wasn't sure what to expect from Amazon Basics, but they are great! Fit just like my Democracy and Judy Blues for much less!"

Cons:

• "There's a reason Amazon Essentials are sold at a cheaper price point...it's the inconsistency in sizing and construction."
• "In the regular style the fit was perfect, but I ordered a lighter and darker wash, and was sent the 'curvy' style, which I a whole size too big in the same size."
• "The first time I bought them they were indeed skinny jeans, but now the legs below the knees are baggy to the point they resemble bootcut rather than skinny jean."
• "I purchased 3 pairs in 2021 and wore them a lot. ordered more in Jan. 2024 and the cut is defiantly different."
• "After ordering these same jeans for years, I’m disappointed to be receiving a new curvy cut."
• "And my final complaint is that two of their colors, rinse and dark wash, are IDENTICAL."
• "I love these jeans but the sizing is inconsistent. I have ordered 3 pairs; one pair is bigger, one smaller, and the third pair were too small and I had to return them."

Comfort and Style

Pros:

• "They are super comfortable, fit great, look great and I'll order more."
• "I finally found actual jeans that fit right!"
• "I'm definitely going to order more in this cut! Highly recommend!"
• "Guys, this is it. I was skeptical at first for being an Amazon brand but it’s a good wash, high rise just enough, butt area all rounded."
• "Got these for work and they’re super stretchy and comfy! Surprised at how good the quality is!"
• "These jeans are very comfortable, stay put, and are very flattering in the butt area."
• "They fit so amazing and are comfortable."

Cons:

• "I'll probably still wear them, but I'll probably limit it to wearing with hoodies and oversized tops because I don't really like the appearance of the top of the jeans."
• "I like that they feel comfortable but the high-rise curvy skinny size 8 where to long for my torso and big around my thighs."
• "They definitely are loose in the leg and look way more like mom jeans than skinny jeans."
• "Everything about the waist and hip fit is fine but I personally would call it more of a bootcut jean and not skinny."
• "These are not skinny jeans, they were huge around my legs."
• "Sometimes high-waisted stretchy jeans work for curvy figures, but not these."
• "However, they did not fit my body and made me look like a grandma!"
