The verdict
Fit
Mid-rise with a slim fit through the hip and thigh and a flare that breaks high on the leg, so it reads straighter than a full flare. Owners call it true to size, though a few find the regular length short and go up a size or choose the longer inseam.
Quality
Verified buyers describe the fabric as soft and comfortable, and the stretch denim has a mid-weight feel; owner ratings on the brand's site skew high with all reviewers recommending it, on a small sample.
Is the price fair?
This line normally sits at a premium price for denim, so buying near this lower figure makes it a comfortably better value than full retail.
Best for
Someone who wants a stretchy, comfortable flare with a high break that works with a heel.
Care
Wash cold inside out and infrequently, then hang to dry to protect the stretch and color.

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.
