I love these jeans! However, I measured myself and used the size guide and they were way too big. I returned and went two sizes down for a perfect fit. If you love high rise pants and think there is no such thing as too high, these are for you. The straight cut gives them a cute vintage mom jean look. They have a button fly which I don't mind because it makes me feel secure. I am 5'4 and 170 lbs. Bought the 38 first and it was way too big. The 36 fit just right. These do have some stretch so you're better off buying smaller and they will break in a bit.
