How does the Lil' Kick It fit compared with Mother's skinny jeans?

It sits higher and runs roomier through the leg, with a straight cut that flares slightly at the hem. The cotton-rich fabric has less give than Mother's stretch skinny styles, so try your usual size first and size up if you are between sizes.

Is the denim stretchy?

Barely. It is 99% cotton with 1% elastane, so it gives a little at the waist and seat but does not stretch like a jegging. Expect it to feel firm on the first wear and soften with use.

What length is the inseam?

The jean comes in a range of inseams, from cropped to full length, so check the specific length listed for the pair you are viewing. The cropped versions are designed to end above the ankle.

How should I care for them?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang or lay flat to dry to protect the cotton and the wash. Avoid tumble drying, which can shrink the denim and fade the blue.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes. They have standard front and back pockets, and the back pockets are sized and placed to flatter.

Who is this jean best for?

Shoppers who want a high-rise straight leg with a subtle kick and prefer structured, mostly-cotton denim. It suits casual outfits with flats or sneakers and works less well for anyone wanting a lot of stretch.
