When it comes to denim, versatility and comfort are key. Our editor prioritized these elements while reviewing the Amazon Essentials Ultra Soft Mid-Rise Wide Leg Jeans. These jeans, available in sizes 0–20 and colors like Dark Shadow Wash, Black, and Slate Blue Wash, offer a blend of 40% cotton, 40% lyocell tencel, and 20% recycled cotton.
Initially, the quality might seem a bit budget-friendly, but the fit and tailoring pleasantly surprise. The denim is soft yet structured, with neatly sewn pockets and hems. This classic style is a blank canvas for any outfit – dress it up with a button-down shirt and boots for the office, or keep it casual with a t-shirt and sneakers for the weekend.
The Mid-Rise Wide Leg Jeans boast a flattering fit, hugging the waist and hips before flowing into a wide leg. While the denim has little stretch, it complements the wide-leg style beautifully. Perfect for those with longer legs, these jeans also cater to a range of body types. Just a note for the petite – you might need to pair these with heels or consider hemming.
Despite running small, the jeans maintain their shape even after washing. So, if you're seeking a budget-friendly, trendy pair of jeans, Amazon Essentials might just be your new go-to. With prices this low, style has never been so accessible.
