The verdict
Fit
It is a mid-rise flare with a slim fit through the hip and thigh; sizing runs from true to size to slightly small depending on the source, so buyers between sizes should consider going up, and one owner noted it can run high-rise and straight through the hips.
Quality
It is built on the Icon's stretch denim with a mid-weight feel; because white denim shows more, the retailer's own note that a skin-tone undergarment is recommended is worth heeding for opacity.
Is the price fair?
At 288 USD this is full premium pricing, so it is best justified for someone who specifically wants the white wash and will wear it often rather than as a first pair.
Best for
A shopper set on a white 70s flare who understands white denim needs careful layering and upkeep.
Care
Wash cold, wash white denim separately to protect the color, and use a skin-tone undergarment to manage opacity.

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.
