Le High Straight (women's)
About Frame’s jeans: Premium women's denim with a fashion-forward bent. Le High, Le Slouch, Le Jane cover most of the high-rise spectrum.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Frame's Le High Straight is the brand's most enduring cut — a premium high-rise straight where the washes and the silhouette do the heavy lifting. Owners say the fabric and finish read clearly more refined than mid-tier alternatives and that the cut keeps its shape across years, which is what justifies the spend for repeat buyers. The recurring sizing note is that the waist runs small, so a number of owners size down or up depending on the wash, and the rise sits slightly higher than Frame's own measurements suggest. The subtle, expensive-looking washes are a consistent high point.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Cotton/elastane blend, ~11oz; premium Italian and Japanese mill washes depending on the colour.
- Fit
- High-rise straight, slim through the waist, sits at or slightly above the natural waist. Waist runs small for some — check the specific wash; many size down one.
- Quality
- Premium construction — hardware, stitching and fabric all read above the price; the silhouette holds across years.
- Best for
- A premium high-rise silhouette with subtle, refined washes and a cut built to last.
- Care
- Cold wash inside-out and air dry — the nuanced washes lose depth in a hot dryer.
How Frame jeans hold up overall
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.
