Madewell Roadtripper Jeans for Women - High Waist Slim Fit Stretch Denim in Playford Wash | Perfect for Travel, Casual Outfits & Everyday Wear

I'm trying to understand the love everyone seems to have for Madewell jeans. I have purchased them from Nordstrom, Amazon, and Madewell itself and every single time, they fit relatively well in the legs but are ALWAYS large and stretched out in the waist. I would have to go down 2 sizes to get a pair properly fitted in the waist-- but then, they'd be far too small for my thighs. I appreciate the size inclusion with their models, and the jeans look amazing on them. Wish they fit me.
