The verdict
Fit
It is a mid-rise flare that fits slim through the hip and thigh with substantial stretch; one retailer's stylist calls it true to size while another's fit experts and an owner say it runs a touch small, so size up if you are between sizes or want length.
Quality
The Icon uses a super-stretch denim with a mid-weight feel, and owner feedback is mixed but includes 'Best jeans, good fit'; a few buyers flagged inconsistency in delivered inseam length versus the listing.
Is the price fair?
At 144 USD this sits below the line's full retail, making it the more sensible entry point into the Icon flare for a mid-to-premium denim buyer.
Best for
Someone who wants a stretchy, hip-hugging 70s flare in an everyday blue wash and is willing to try a size up for the right length.
Care
Machine wash cold and hang or lay flat to dry to preserve the stretch fibers and avoid shrinking the inseam.

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.
