THE SIDE ZIP WIDE LEG
The verdict
Fit
Wide-leg silhouette with a side-zip replacing or supplementing a traditional fly. Side zips can create bunching or discomfort if not fitted precisely; confirm sizing carefully.
Quality
At $109 on sale, the side zip is a gimmick that adds minimal durability benefit and creates a potential wear point. Construction should be sound, but the zip itself is a liability.
Price check
Budget-friendly on sale. The side zip lowers perceived value because it's a novelty rather than a functional improvement.
Best for
Shoppers drawn to distinctive design details who are willing to sacrifice traditional comfort and functionality for an unusual silhouette.
Care
Close the side zip carefully before washing to avoid snagging on other garments; inspect the zipper regularly for misalignment.

What owners report about Joe's Jeans jeans
Owners report the line is built around soft, high-stretch denim worn primarily for comfort, and many describe the fit as flattering on curvier figures in particular. Long-term owners report pairs holding up over years of wear, but repeat buyers note inconsistency between purchases in how much the fabric stretches and how thick it feels. Reviewers looking for sturdy, rigid denim say this line is not that — the fabric is light and stretch-heavy by design.
- Strengths
- Soft, stretch-heavy denim that owners consistently describe as comfortable for all-day wear and flattering, especially on curvier builds.
- Watch out for
- Repeat buyers report fabric stretch and thickness varying between purchases, and the lightweight stretch denim disappoints anyone expecting a thicker, sturdier jean.
- Sizing
- Reports split between true-to-size and running big; several reviewers recommend sizing down because the generous, stretchy fit relaxes further with wear.
