Which is better for work?

The Judy Blue pair. Its dark wash and finished hem with no distressing look dressier, and it costs less.

Which is better for casual weekends?

The "Ab"solution pair. The light wash, fading and subtle distress suit casual outfits.

Both are stretch denim with about 1% spandex. The Judy Blue has more cotton (69% vs 60%), which tends to hold up well, but neither has a clear durability edge from the specs.

Is the "Ab"solution worth the extra $28?

Only if you want the light faded wash and the "Ab"solution smoothing. For a dark, clean wide leg, the Judy Blue saves money.

Do both come in petite lengths?

Yes. The "Ab"solution is petite only; the Judy Blue comes in petite and regular inseams.

Which has the higher rise?

Close. The "Ab"solution is a high rise that sits slightly below the natural waist; the Judy Blue lists a 10" front rise and 14" back rise.
