The verdict
Fit
As a Le High Skinny it is a high-rise, close-through-the-thigh skinny that reviewers place as true to size for most, with skinny styles noted to run snug; size up if you prefer less compression. Buyers describe it as stretchy and soft rather than stiff.
Quality
Coverage of the line emphasizes the soft denim and a fit reviewers rate highly, with one editor stating "FRAME jeans just fit me so well!" It is comfort-oriented stretch denim, so treat it as a soft everyday jean rather than a rugged one.
Is the price fair?
At $258 this is firmly premium and costs more than the standard Le High Skinny; the fit and softness are well reviewed, but the added price largely reflects the black wash rather than a different construction, so it suits buyers who specifically want clean black denim.
Best for
Someone who wants a soft, high-rise black skinny for dressier or year-round wear and will pay for the wash.
Care
Wash cold inside out and hang dry to slow fading and keep the black looking saturated.

What owners report about Frame jeans
Owners report Frame's stretch-blend denim is soft with enough weight to still feel like real jeans, and that the cuts fit close through the seat and thigh without a baggy crotch. The recurring caution is stretch behavior: the denim opens up over multiple wears, with extra room developing at the waistband, and one reviewer of a rigid cotton cut deliberately sized down to compensate. Owners also flag the price — reviewers cite Los Angeles manufacturing for retail prices averaging around $230 — and one long-term owner recommends buying the line secondhand for value.
- Strengths
- Reviewers praise the soft, stretchy denim that holds a close, flattering fit — one calls the fabric stretchy but still sturdy, with no bagging complaints in normal wear.
- Watch out for
- The denim stretches out with wear — waistbands loosen over multiple wears — and one reviewer notes elastane-blend jeans will not wear as long as rigid 100% cotton denim.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict by cut: one reviewer calls Frame true to size, another sizes up in the skinny cuts because Frame runs slightly small, and a reviewer of the rigid Le Jane sized down because the denim naturally stretches after multiple wears.
