The verdict
Fit
This is Frame's L'Homme Slim cut, slim through the seat and thigh with a gentle taper to a narrow leg opening rather than a true skinny. Nordstrom lists it true to size, but some retailer reviews report it running big, so consider sizing down if between waist sizes.
Quality
Reviewers of the cut consistently note soft stretch denim and clean construction, with several buying the same jean repeatedly over years. The elastane content makes it more forgiving than rigid denim but slightly less durable, though owners describe pairs holding up well over time.
Is the price fair?
USD 228 is premium for a five-pocket rinse jean; one long-term Frame owner notes the brand averages around USD 230 a pair. Repeat buyers judge the fit worth it, but value-focused shoppers may prefer to source the line secondhand.
Best for
Someone who wants a dark, clean-rinse slim jean with a modern taper and is comfortable paying a designer price.
Care
Turn inside out and wash cold, then hang dry to keep the deep rinse from fading prematurely.

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.
