The verdict
Fit
Mid-rise, hip-hugging and slim through hip and thigh with a flare that breaks high on the leg; owners across the line report it runs true to size, though some find the regular inseam runs short.
Quality
Super-stretch, mid-weight denim that buyers describe as soft and comfortable; owner reviews on the brand's own pages are positive, though on a limited number of ratings.
Is the price fair?
At this full price it sits firmly in premium denim, so it is best justified for those who want this particular stretchy black flare rather than shoppers seeking value.
Best for
A shopper set on a comfortable, stretchy black flare with a high break to pair with heels.
Care
Wash cold inside out and infrequently, and line or hang dry to preserve the black wash and the stretch.

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.
