"I absolutely love the color and fit of these jeans! I am a non binary guy who enjoys the feminine look of these jeans, and one of my female friends told me that I look great in them! I will definitely be purchasing more of your jeans in different colors!"
"5 stars. LO❤️VE how it feels to wear the color as well as the fit. It moves with me and goes with so much, it expands my wardrobe while enhancing my figure! I’ve gotten compliments and wearing these pants helps boost my confidence in looking great in casual and nicer than casual settings. I love how wearing these pants I can look great in and dance in and hike in and even some yoga, or be comfy while doing the office admin work. My new favorite pants!"
"I love the style of the Marilyn straight jeans. The newer reviews said to order a smaller size so I did and the jeans fit perfectly. I have 4 pairs, but the first 3 older ones are a little large so I will continue to get the smaller size."
"My wife has worn NYDJs for the last 25 years. She likes the style, fit and the colours available: The whole package. And has a closet-full to prove it. And they make her look good, as well. 👍👍"
"Good quality denim. Fits perfectly and retains its shape. I am a curvy petite and the 4 has enough room in the waist and thighs. I had the have the pants shortened as expected. Both petite and regular sizes are too long on me."
"I love the attractive look of the Marilyn jeans! Especially the high waist, straight leg fit. The new brown shade is just what I have been looking for, & will be perfect for Fall through Winter months . After washing once, I do have to have the size 6 shortened a bit ; but well worth it for the great overall fit & look ! It does not run large !! I hit the wrong circles below . After washing , the size is very good."
"Lovely color. Lovely fabric. Made well. Marilyns are my favorite fit. I’m 5’9” 120 lbs and size 4 fits perfectly. I do prefer the high waist cut. Thanks for offering it! Am happy to see there are now more colors to choose from as well! Yay!"
"I am 5’7” and weigh 159 lbs. I ordered the size 10 and these pants fit very well. The color is also exactly as pictured."
"The color is exactly what I wanted. . . not bright, not orangey, but a deep red with life to it. I've never owned a pair of red pants before. The sale price pushed me, and I am very happy with the fit and color."
"I love these jeans. I know exactly what size to order and how they will fit. I get excited when new colors are released."
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.
