Judy Blue Mid Rise Release Hem Jeans

Judy Blue has a reputation for denim that fits, and these mid rise jeans are a good argument for why. The mid rise waist sits comfortably between low and high, the rigid denim gives you that structured classic look rather than the soft slouch of a stretchier fabric, and the magic release hem finishes the leg with a raw, undone edge that keeps the whole thing current.

The denim is panelled. The front panel is 71% cotton and 29% V (lyocell), and the back panel is 76.2% cotton, 22.5% polyester and 1.3% spandex, which is how you get a rigid front that holds its shape with a back that has moderate stretch where you actually need it. The size run is genuinely wide, from 0/24 through to 24W. Waist runs from 24 in up to 40 in, hip from 30 in to 52 in, rise between 10.5 in and 13 in, and inseam is 29.5 in through the regular sizes and 30 in from 14W upward.

These are true wardrobe staple jeans. Wear them with heels and a fitted top for an evening out, or with sneakers and a sweatshirt on a Sunday, and they read correctly both times. The medium wash is the most useful denim colour there is, and the release hem means you can leave them long over boots or let them sit at the ankle. Rigid denim like this tends to mould to you the more you wear it.
