meli-melo jeans

Lilykind · Hermes

IME they run a bit small. I perferred the 28 in the stretch Meli-Melo, but wear a 27 stretch in the Joe's Honey fit. They are low rise, but not terribly low...they probably sit maybe an inch below my bellybutton at the most. I too have pretty large thighs and was able to get them over...as with most jeans they are fairly tight through the thighs but not in a bad way.

The fading is different with every pair of jeans, but that particular wash would be fine because it's not drastically faded through the thighs.

I have the Meli-Melo culottes in a 29, which is what I normally wear (that or a 28). They feel a little snug on the butt at first, but I attributed that to an expanding booty. They seemed to stretch a little as I wore them. But I love them to death! Those and all my Louie jeans are my new favorites, even above 7s

i have those same jeans. they fit great. i have a 28 waist and 32 hips. i got the 29 and they fit pretty good. i also have bigger thighs and they fit me nicely. the trouser fit does wonders on slimming the leg. but i find that true for any pants. and no they are not too low rise. i love them. they are so easy to dress up or dress down.
