"Pants are fantastic, as always. And I love ordering less than my usual size. But shipping from this website is awful. It was listed as "preparing to be shipped" for ten days, and finally arrived three weeks after I ordered. Meanwhile, I bought the same NYDJ pair from Amazon and they were on my doorstep less than 24 hours later. Same price too."
"As with all 30 plus pairs of your jeans, pants and shorts, I love them all. I keep buying them even though I have at least 10 plus pairs off jeans still with tags on them. Besides purchasing directly from you, if I am at Nordstroms, I cannot stop myself from purchasing more NYDJ Products."
"Marilyn straight jeans are a perfect fit for me. I buy them in all available colors. They ar slim, but long enough for my 5’ 9” height. Just wish the optic white were available now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"The fit was good and so is the length"
"love these jeans perfect size and fit"
"I would love to give them a 5-star, but they are too long for me. I am 5 6 and I have to get them hemmed if I want to wear them outside. They drag on the ground and bunch up at the bottom. They are very comfortable, and they fit nicely. They make my butt look good!"
"These jeans are terrific. Unfortunately, they don't fit as well as my other Marilyns because they are too tight in the waist."
"Best fitting jeans I’ve ever worn. I have no regrets trying NYD jeans only to discover the long search for comfort and the perfect fit. I get lots of compliments leading others to believe they were made just for me. No worries about the waist being too big and hip and thigh area being too tight. I’m loving the variety of colors available and often asked where did I find them. I have no problem sharing NYDJ website making my family and friends thankful too."
"NYDJ are the only jeans/capris/shorts of any kind I have worn since first discovering them years ago, and they keep getting better. Marilyn is my absolute favorite everyday style, comfortable for anything and always nicely fitted. At almost 72, I hate the newer, baggy styles and these are my daily jeans and crops."
"I love Marilyn's offering of 32' length, the straight leg, and EXPECIALLLY THE 9. 75' RISE (I have a hernia, and the LOWER RISE allows my belt to keep the hernia's bulge in place. My doctor recommends a truss-like control, which this LOWER RISE gives me)."
The Marilyn Straight has a slightly higher rise and a clean straight leg that elongates the silhouette. It's cut true to size for most customers, with our signature Lift Tuck® Technology panel built into the waistband and seat to smooth and support without changing the fit through the leg. If you're between sizes, size down for a more fitted look through the hip or size up for extra ease.
Lift Tuck® is NYDJ's proprietary inner construction — a hidden shaping panel sewn into the waistband and seat that lifts, tucks, and smooths the tummy and rear without the bulk of external shapewear. It's built into the jean itself, so there's nothing extra to wear underneath.
Check the size chart on this page for the exact waist/hip measurements for this style. As a general guide: size down for a closer, more tailored fit.
The Missy/Regular Marilyn is cut for average height (typically 5'4"–5'8"). If you need a shorter or longer inseam, see our Marilyn Petite or Marilyn Tall collections, which use the same silhouette re-graded for different heights.
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Avoid high heat in the dryer — tumble low or hang dry — since excess heat breaks down the elastane fibers and reduces stretch recovery over time. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls stretch performance.
Yes. The Marilyn Straight is produced using earth-friendly methods that reduce consumption of water, chemicals, and energy compared to conventional denim processing.
