These New $135 Madewell Jeans Have "Holds-You-In Sorcery"
When Madewell says it has designed its softest jeans yet, you can bet our ears perk up. The brand's latest newsletter was dedicated to the new High-Rise Skinny Jeans in Lunar Wash ($135), and Madewell has some seriously high praise for the new launch.
"Our famous perfectly faded black jeans are made of best-of-the-best denim, in this case a soft-to-touch blend woven with Tencel lyocell," the product description reads. "The 9" rise has a supersleek effect, thanks to a tricky detail—Magic Pockets in front that offer an extra layer of holds-you-in sorcery for the slimmest, smoothest look yet." Plus, the jeans come in an impressive array of sizes, with petite, regular, and tall options ranging from sizes 23 to 37. Convinced you need a pair? We thought so. Scroll down to shop the new arrivals, as well as Madewell's other worthy alternatives.
