I usually wear 6 L in Universal Standard and this was the size I got. Im 145lbs and 5 with very long (semi thin) legs, and apple/pear shaped. If youre looking for that 90s style straight leg these are not it, at least not for smaller sizes. Real 90s ones were slightly tighter through the thigh and then straight down..These have huge legs and dont even skim the thigh on me. Another viewer said you could fit legs in one and she was right (see photo). They look like something my mother in law would get from chicos. The fabric is great, a bit thicker than the US skinny jeans, just wish the fit was better. Trust me these photos look ok but in the mirror they look and feel huge.
