Reviews
Meh
"I wanted to love these but I just didn’t…they are so soft and stretchy but because of that they show everything and all my rolls and have no structure to them. I think it’s the fabric. It’s different and less jean like than others that I’ve tried (and loved like the Chrissy and holland). Maybe I need a size down because they were loose but not in a cute way. Bummed because I already washed and can’t return."

Great go-to jeans
"These are such a great pair of denim and have become a quick favorite in my closet. The feel is soft, but still structured and the wash is great as well. Highly recommend this jean!"

Meh 😑
"Hello! I wanted to love this pair of jeans after watching a Live about how this was the perfect Jean to fit everybody type. Unfortunately, two pairs have not worked out for me. For reference, I am 5‘3“ and 135 pounds. I have a short torso and longer legs. After five babies, my waist is 33 inches. I have tried a size 7 and a 9 in the Dylan. Both pairs fit well enough, but the waist line hits me at just the wrong spot and accentuates my tummy in an unflattering way. The legs are also too wide and swallow my frame. These jeans just look awkward on me. I’ve exchanged them, and I am looking forward to receiving a pair of Carrie‘s Hendrix jeans next. Hopefully they will work out better."

Branching out of skinny jeans
"I'm a millennial who has been exclusively wearing skinny jeans for the past decade. I love my skinny jeans. But two pregnancies later, my body doesn't love them quite the same way. I decided to try these and am pleasantly surprised how much I love them. I do not like loose/ baggy clothing, I'm petite and anything oversized does not flatter me. These are still well fitting, tight through the hips and thighs and looser at the knees and down. I love them. They are so comfy and stretchy and the high waisted lets me live my life with toddlers and not think twice about it. They're so easy. They're my go-to outfit at 3 months postpartum and I'm just thankful for the option to wear jeans and look great at this stage of my life."

Super comfy except for tight waist
"These jeans are so soft and comfy, they're fitted but not tight around the hips and loose but not baggy down the leg. Only disappointment is the waist band is pretty tight for me with just a little extra around the middle still at 6 months post partum. The stretchiness of the fabric doesnt hold me in as well as my Chrissys or Kate's, but then the waistband pinches a little. Hoping another few months will improve this 🙃"

Underrated and unbelievably awesome!
"LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! I do not understand how these are not sold out in every size, they are so comfy, signature stretch and the high rise is lovely for my high hips and long legs, enough fit to be snug around my hips, waist and bum but not uncomfortable and the leg is a true wide leg without the “baggy” feeling! These are cute with anything! Effortless style"

The Hype. Is. Worth it.
"I love CJLA but hadn’t taken the plunge on the jeans yet. I thought, how good could a pair of jeans possibly be?? The second I put them on they were INSTANTLY my favorite. You won’t be able to go back! They fit PERFECTLY. I’m so picky about jeans — but these are the BEST jeans I have ever had."

Laurel Jeans
"These jeans are SUPER cute. They are tighter around my butt and thighs but still trendy with being wide legged, which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. HOWEVER, they are too short. I'm 5'8" and they hit just above my ankle which I'm a little disappointed in because I thought they would be full length. Part of it is on me for not reading the reviews - however it would be nice to have them in a "long" option."

My favorite cjla denim! I
"My favorite cjla denim! I stock up everytime they come back. I probably have 8-9 pair. I also have 7 pairs of Chrissy’s and 3 pairs of mer and 3 Hendrix. I have to say laurels are the best!"

Laurel Jeans
"These were not for me. They shrunk in the dryer. I didn’t realize how soft they were - I’m more of a true denim material kinda gal. If you like soft/stretch these are for You!"
