Purchased April 2025. Worn once or twice at most. NL jeans run 2 sizes too large!! If you like your jeans low on the waist and are a size 27-28, the 26 will fit well. If you like your jeans high on your natural waist (like me), I would go down 2 sizes. So if you are a 29-28, the 26 will also fit. I’m a size 4 with a 28” waist and I find 26 to be too large. I like to wear my jeans high on my waist. I also have a size 25 NL Shon that I wear all the time. Hope that helps! - mid-rise - relaxed fit barrel leg - Japanese stretch denim - curved silhouette - seam details at knee - zip fly - front slash pockets - top-stitched back patch pockets
