Lyssé Billie Eyelet Straight Denim vs Heart Cutout Wide-Leg Jeans

The Billie is the pick for a soft, stretchy pull-on jean that smooths the midsection and dresses up, thanks to its 4-way stretch knit denim and patented 360° waistband. The Shiny by Nature jean is the pick for a sturdy, non-stretch wide leg built for large waist-to-hip differences and bigger thighs, with an elastic side waistband. Build differs sharply: the Billie is stretch knit with faux pockets and eyelet trim, while the other is 100% cotton with four real pockets. Owners of stretch pull-ons praise comfort but note they can bag at the knee; non-stretch wide legs hold shape but feel stiffer at first.

• Choose the Billie Eyelet Straight Denim if you want a soft, stretchy cropped straight jean with a smoothing waistband and eyelet detail for dressier outfits.
• Choose the 26" Inseam Heart Cutout Jeans if you have a big waist-to-hip difference or larger thighs and want a structured, non-stretch wide leg with real pockets.
