Fantastic pair of jeans.
I can wear 29 or 28 if I want a more snug fit. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the 28 in a 34 length in stock which is my preferred size in Miss Me jeans. I took a shot on the 29 with 32 length, being I have a few other pairs in that size and they fit comfortably just not /snug/.
They do indeed feel a little heavy compared to other jeans, but I personally don’t mind it. The embroidery is top notch and I love the wash. I’d say snag them while they are in stock if you can. You can absolutely dress these jeans up or wear them casually as well.
Wish I was more helpful on the sizing situation with this specific pair. If you do purchase and prefer a tighter fit, size down. If you prefer a more relaxed comfort fit with possibly a belt, order your actual size.
