REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"These jeans are PERFECT. I bought a pair in my size and I don’t think my bum has ever looked better. I bought a second pair in the next size up and they are so comfy and still look amazing. The jean material is sturdy and soft, and I’m a big fan of the high waist/wide-leg design."

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
If you like having options, then you'll love Everlane's The Way High Sailor Jean. The A-Line, wide-leg silhouette comes in two inseam lengths and four different washes. Plus, it's designed using organic cotton and a tad bit of stretch that somehow manages to feel both structured and extremely comfortable, according to reviewers. 

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I have tried many different brands of jeans in all cuts. These are by far my favorite pair of wide legs—the fabric is such high quality with a bit of stretch. They are very high-waisted, which I love, and true to size. The BEST feature about these jeans is what Madewell calls "hidden front pockets." They are sewn into the fly at the front so what ends up happening is that they tend to provide more tummy support and a sucked-in feel."
