Size & Fit Guide
These Korean-style straight leg jeans feature a high-rise fit that sits comfortably at your natural waistline with an innovative elastic waistband and adjustable tie detail.

⚠️ Important Sizing Note: This item uses Asian sizing standards and runs 1-2 sizes smaller than standard US sizing. We strongly recommend ordering one size up from your usual size. For example, if you typically wear a US size Small, we recommend ordering a Medium. The elastic waistband provides some flexibility, but sizing up ensures the best fit through the hips and thighs. When in doubt between two sizes, always choose the larger size.

Styling Q&A
- Q: How long does shipping take?
- A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.
- Q: I'm usually a US size 6 - what size should I order?
- A: Because these jeans use Asian sizing that runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US standards, we recommend ordering a Large if you typically wear a US size 6. The elastic waistband provides some flexibility, but sizing up ensures comfortable fit through the hips and thighs. Always refer to the detailed measurement chart and compare to your own measurements for the best fit.
- Q: How does the elastic waist work - will it look bulky or elastic-y?
- A: Not at all! The elastic waistband is integrated into the design and looks like regular high-waisted jeans from the outside. The adjustable tie detail adds a stylish touch while allowing you to customize the fit. The elastic construction provides the comfort of leggings with the polished look of traditional denim - the best of both worlds.
- Q: What's the difference between the dark blue and light blue washes?
- A: The dark blue features a classic indigo denim wash that's versatile and slightly dressier - perfect for year-round wear and easily dressed up or down. The light blue offers a lighter, more casual summery wash with a fresh, laid-back vibe. Both have the same washed finish for a soft, lived-in feel. Choose based on your existing wardrobe and personal style preference.
- Q: Will the cropped length work if I'm tall (5'9" or above)?
- A: For individuals 5'9" and taller, these jeans may hit closer to mid-calf rather than at the ankle. This can actually create a trendy high-water or Capri look that works beautifully with sneakers or sandals in warmer months. However, if you prefer a true ankle-length crop, we recommend considering the XL or XXL sizes which have slightly longer inseams (36.2-36.6 inches versus 35.8 inches in smaller sizes).
- Q: Can I dress these jeans up for more polished occasions?
- A: Absolutely! The straight leg silhouette and high waist create a surprisingly polished foundation. Pair them with a silky blouse or structured button-down tucked in, add pointed-toe flats or low heels, accessorize with delicate jewelry and a structured bag. The dark blue wash is particularly versatile for dressier casual occasions like casual Fridays, dinner dates, or elevated weekend outings.
- Q: How should I style the tie detail at the waist?
- A: You have options! Tie it in a simple bow at the front for a cute, visible detail when wearing fitted or cropped tops. For a cleaner look under looser tops, tie it at the side or tuck the ends in after tying. The tie serves both a functional purpose (adjusting fit) and an aesthetic one, so have fun experimenting with what works for each outfit.
