- How does the Marilyn fit compared with NYDJ's other plus styles?
- The Marilyn is a true straight leg with less taper than NYDJ's skinny and slim cuts. It is roomier through the calf and ankle, so it suits boots and flats better than a narrow hem.
- Does the stretch fabric stretch out during the day?
- It can. The viscose and elastane blend holds its shape well at first, but several owners report the knee and seat relaxing after a full day of wear. Washing and line drying brings it back.
- Should I size down?
- NYDJ plus jeans are generally cut generously, and many shoppers take their usual size or one down. Because fit varies by wash, check the specific color's measurements before deciding.
- How should I wash them to keep the shape?
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry or tumble low. Hot water and a hot dryer break down the elastane and speed up pilling on the viscose blend.
- Are they jeans or trousers?
- They are cut like jeans but the fabric is a soft viscose blend rather than denim. That makes them dressier than typical denim and easy to wear to an office.
- What is the rise like?
- The plus-size Marilyn sits at or just below the natural waist, high enough to stay put when you sit. It is not a low-rise cut.
