Why You'll Love the Karla Jeans

The Karla jeans master the art of combining contemporary wide leg styling with vintage-inspired details. The high-rise waistband sits securely at your natural waist, creating a flattering silhouette that elongates your legs while providing coverage and support. The exposed button fly is both functional and stylish—those silver-toned buttons create a statement detail that adds authentic vintage character while ensuring a secure, adjustable fit. The column straight wide leg silhouette is what makes these jeans truly special—rather than flaring dramatically, they flow straight down from hip to ankle in clean, streamlined lines that elongate your frame while remaining easy to wear and style. This silhouette is incredibly flattering and works for every body type. The 4-way stretch is what makes these wide leg jeans genuinely comfortable for all-day wear—the fabric moves with you in every direction, providing exceptional flexibility that traditional wide leg denim simply can't match. You get that structured, polished look with the ease of movement you need for real life. The medium wash is that perfect everyday blue—versatile enough to work as a neutral foundation while bringing authentic denim character. The distressed hem adds contemporary edge and a touch of playfulness that keeps these jeans from feeling too serious or formal. The sleek back welt pockets maintain clean lines that keep the focus on the flattering silhouette.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold with like colors to preserve the medium wash and maintain the 4-way stretch properties. Tumble dry low for best results. Turn inside out before washing to protect the button fly hardware and distressed hem details.

Care Tip: The distressed hem is designed to develop more character with wear—embrace the natural fraying as part of the jean's appeal. The medium wash will continue to soften beautifully over time.
