If you've ever tried Madewell jeans, you know what I'm talking about when I say that they're good. The fit is excellent, they're comfortable, and they come in a wide range of sizes, from 23 to 24W in many cases, with petite and tall lengths to boot. I've tried many Madewell styles, including their Skinny Jeans, Cali-boot Jeans, Dadjeans, and Perfect Vintage Jeans, but their newest denim release might be the best yet, from the looks of them.
The jeans in question are the Balloon Jeans, which are inspired by styles of the '80s, with their high, fitted waist and curved, slightly cropped legs. It's an ultra-flattering fit that's akin to straight-leg jeans, so you can rest assured that they won't be going out of style anytime soon. The Balloon Jeans come in several washes—some rigid and some comfort stretch, and from not through February 15, if you have a Madewell Insider account you can get 20% off on the jeans and almost everything else on site.
Keep scrolling to shop Madewell's new Balloon Jeans in every wash, along with a few chic items I recommend wearing with the style.
