Your new favorite summer denim!
Light weight denim with a higher mid-rise waist and straight leg. Distressed has raw cut hem for easy to "cut to length". Non-distressed has finished hem. Functional front and back pockets. Denim has light stretch and relaxes some with wear. This color fits slimmer than other “mels faves” and is not as oversized but is more of a true to size fit. Stay in your normal size. If between sizes, size up. If you wear two sizes in our denim go with your upper size.
