I love this pair of denim trousers, in fact they may be my favorite from J.Crew yet. I am usually a huge high waisted denim fan and while these claim to be "low rise" ", I think they're more mid rise and I love this option. / A wide leg denim trouser is already a lot of denim, so having a lower rise gives a nice proportion to the outfit instead of having a full denim leg up past your belly button. I am in the 30, they fit well. I would say if in between sizes, go down a size as they seem like they will stretch with wear. I am in the regular length, plenty long for me!
