Riders by Lee Indigowomens Waist Smoother Straight Jean

Literally the BEST jeans I have put on in years. I worry that Lee will discontinue or change this product. Lee Jeans, if by some whim of fate you are actually reading this please don't change this product! I am a cheapskate and I would pay double for these jeans if I had to. Shopko carries a lower quality version for Lee simply called "smoothers". Those are okay, but this "Indigo" line is much nicer.Before I got these jeans, I would not have thought I would ever wear a pull-on jean.OK, the review - Yes, these are pull-on jeans. No, they do not look like "mom jeans". No button to catch your tops or make your tummy look poochier than it is. These pants are perfection. No, I am not a paid reviewer and I did not receive a discount.Fit: For reference, I am in my late 40's, 5'7", in the neighborhood of 143 lbs. I tend toward a smallish waist as compared to my bottom and thighs, but getting a bit fluffy around the middle with a little bit of a pooch. I bought a size 10A. These fit like a dream! They sit just below the natural waist. Therefore, smoothing away my pooch without causing muffin top. They fit smoothly over hips, bottom and thighs without the baggy gap that makes jeans look like mom jeans. But, no creeping up the crack or other unsightly close fit issues. Being someone who is tall-ish, but not tall I often have difficulty with pant length. Very often for me, Average is too short and Tall is way too long. These are perfect length. When I stand barefoot, they cover my entire heel just touching the floor. Also, these do not creep up or down. I'm not constantly pulling them up, nor tugging them down. That is practically unheard of for me.Quality: Denim weight is just right, not too light or too heavy and stiff, fabric is soft. Overall construction is sound, pockets and seams lay nicely.

I'm still not sure that I'll keep these jeans. They fit nicely and look good but the rise is shorter than I expected and would like. They don't come up to your waist so don't smooth your tummy all the way up. They seem comfortable upon trying on but I keep wanting to pull the waist up higher. I do like the width of the legs as I am tired of skinny jeans and these are straight without being floppy or baggy. They fit comfortably snug through the thighs and have enough give to allow you to move freely. The color is nice (Indigo) and the fabric is soft and comfortable. The length is good as long as they don't shrink (but again, I may not keep them so might not wash them.) I do wish there was a long or tall length so I can cuff them but that rise issue might prevent me from ordering these again. If you stoop down or sit, you would probably expose some butt cleavage if you had a shorter top on. I am 5'6" and 155 lbs. with some extra belly business going on (but not really a muffin top on the sides) and ordered a Size 10 regular which fits well. If only the rise was long enough for the waistband to come up to just under my belly button, I'd be very pleased and would definitely keep them. The jury is still out...

I really like these jeans. I feel they fit well for my body. I wish they were just an inch longer in the front because they go right to my navel. I should have gotten one size smaller because I do have to pull them up occasionally especially from sitting because they do have a lot of stretch. They do however have a belt loop so I will try with a belt next time. Overall, I like the quality.

These are a perfect straight leg and fit well. If this is what I thought I ordered, I’d give them 5 stars.But it’s not. These are low rise. You will show your underwear in the back when you sit if you aren’t wearing low rise underwear. They sit on your hips.They are also NOT dark blue. They’re just blue and have a faded look on the thighs.If I wanted low rise, regular blue jeans, I’d give these 5 stars.I am keeping them because the legs are perfect at the bottom. Not flared or boot cut or skinny. Just straight.I will wear jackets or long sweaters with these.I would like these in a higher rise, closer to my belly button (these are a good 2 inches lower than my belly button- very early 2000s).

Good for apple shapes. The rise on a pair of size 18 medium is about 10.5 inches. I usually like a little bit higher rise to reach my belly button and smooth (cover) the spare tire on the sides, BUT these are sooooo comfy. They stretch to fit in no time and I love them and am getting another pair. I just wish they were a half inch longer in the rise. Me pulling them up to make the waist sit where I want makes it a little snug in the crotch area, but like I said they stretch out and feel nice within an hour. Ladies lacking in the rear end area these will make you feel like you have a normal bottom. They won't sag in the back to accentuate that you are flat where you should be round. The legs openings are perfect. They aren't skinny jean (jeggings) tight and they aren't to baggy in the legs either like most jeans are on me. Usually jeans that fit my waist are baggy in the legs. These are good for skinny tone legs on top heavy girls.

These are not the Lees of the past! The only thing that would make these jeans better, is if they came with a high waist. I have been scanning Amazon this morning and found other pair that have a high waist. Going to try them. They are not so loose around the waist that they fall down. But also, they are not digging into my waist. I am 5‘4“ tall and weigh 135 pounds. The size 8 fits me perfectly. Also, I love that the pockets sit low on your butt. I just think it makes your butt look better. Smaller.

I really like these jeans upon receiving them. they came packaged well, clean with no odors. upon opening I eagerly put them on and they fit... or so I thought. You seem to have a nice cut for my body shape which is a little round in the tummy at least when I was standing up. As soon as I sat down the 1and 1/2 inch waistband flipped over and I realized they were just to short in the rise to remain in place. Again in all other ways they were great. So disappointed.
