Jeans

$220as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Ksubi

The verdict

A straight-cut women's jean at USD 220 from the Core collection—fair if you want original-finish denim from Ksubi's stable line.

Fit

Empire Jean is a straight-leg cut with a structured drape; expect a flattering vertical line without excess bulk. Sizing runs true; Empire cuts tend to fit predictably.

Quality

Core collection and full-price positioning assure consistent Ksubi quality. Original finish is their benchmark colorway; expect solid dye application and finish.

Price check

USD 220 is fair for a core-collection straight-leg from Ksubi. The price is stable for this silhouette and tier rather than trendy or discounted.

Best for

Women wanting a reliable straight-leg from Ksubi's core range in the brand's signature original wash.

Care

Machine-wash cold and hang-dry; core collection denotes durable, standard-care denim.

What owners report about Ksubi jeans

Owners report thick, rigid denim with little to no give — several rental-service reviewers note there is no stretch at all, while one reported a pair stretching about two sizes over a day, so experiences vary by style. The slim cuts are made for narrow frames, and curvier owners frequently find them restrictive or hard to sit in at their usual size. Long-term owners report pairs lasting a few years and holding their shape.

Strengths: Owners praise the thick, sturdy denim and report pairs lasting a good 2-3 years of wear while keeping their shape.
Watch out for: The recurring complaints are the rigid, no-give fabric and the narrow cut — restrictive when sitting, a poor match for curvier shapes, and waists that run small on several styles.
Sizing: Rental-service owners most often report the jeans running small, especially in the waist, and advise sizing up, while other reviewers call the slim cuts true to size — check per style.
