The verdict
Fit
High rise with a straight ankle-length leg (11-inch front rise, 28-inch inseam in Regular; Pixie and Long also offered). Stylists across retailers rate it true to size, but because the denim is very stretchy some owners note it runs a touch bigger at the waist and suggest sizing down.
Quality
The Ripple wash uses a cotton blend with added polyester and lyocell (70% cotton/17% polyester/11% lyocell/2% elastane) built for stretch and recovery; construction feedback is line-level rather than wash-specific, so buy on fit and comfort expectations.
Is the price fair?
Discounted to $139 (from $278) it lands at the accessible end of premium denim, which makes it good value for the blend and cut, but note it is listed as final sale, so confirm size before buying.
Best for
A value-minded shopper who already knows they like a stretchy high-rise straight and wants a lighter wash at a reduced price.
Care
Machine wash cold and air dry to keep the lighter wash from fading and to protect the elastane recovery.

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.
