Gap's $50 "Easy" Jeans Give a Whole New Meaning to Comfortable Denim

Almost all of my favorite outfits feature a pair of jeans. Because of this, it's no surprise that I have quite the collection: high-rise, low-rise, blue, black — you name it. However, it wasn't until recently that I discovered the joy of elastic-waist jeans, and now I can't stop raving about them to anyone who'll listen. Enter the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans ($80), which combine the classic non-stretch denim feel with a sweatpants-like waistband. When I came across them for the first time, I assumed they were too good to be true (too soft!? too baggy!?) but I added them to my virtual shopping cart on a whim, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. Keep reading for my thorough review. What I Love About the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans

What I love about these Gap jeans is how they look and feel. They feature a loose wide leg and non-stretch fabric that feels expensive and high quality. The elastic waist stays comfortable all day, and the cargo pockets add a trendy touch that I'm confident I won't regret a year from now (unlike some other trends I've adopted in the past). I love teaming them with a basic tank top and accessories. Here, I'm wearing the super thick Gap Compact Jersey Brami ($24, originally $35) that makes it possible to go braless, styled with the Gap Vegan Leather Platform Flip Flops ($45) and Gap Vegan Leather Sling Bag ($24, originally $50). (I've honestly worn this combination more times that I'd like to admit.)

I'm also a big fan of where these jeans land on my waist, which is a bit lower than what I'd deem "high-rise," as they're described. 49363881

What's Worth Noting About the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans

First, I think these jeans are more accurately described as mid-rise, not high-rise, because they sit between my hips and belly button. Other shoppers seem to agree, as several reviews on Gap's website have mentioned this as well. However, I was delightfully surprised by the cut; it feels fresh and modern to embrace styles beyond the high-rise trend.

Another thing to note about the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans is that they run big. I usually wear a medium, but I sized down to a small and still achieved that perfect baggy fit. So definitely consider going down a size. While there aren't many complaints, some shoppers did find them too roomy. As one reviewer noted, "I really want to like these jeans however they run about 2 sizes bigger."
