"These are great too. This is the second or third review I’ve done, so I’ll tell you about the rinse on this. I wasn’t sure I’d like it but these have become my favorite rinse. No idea why, but I’ve worn these most all summer. I’d love to know what it is, but the fit is great and they go well with most everything. I grab this pair first!!"
"I have worn NYD jeans for years. I have to shorten them because I am only 5’ and even petite needs altering. Not really a problem just haven’t gotten to it yet. I did find shopping on their website a little difficult. I really wanted a new white pair but somehow couldn’t find. So please work on your search and clear what we leave on the website if we don’t finalize the purchase in a few days."
"Love these blue jeans and have them on now. I’m 5’ 5 and they’d be fine with heels. If you want them longer, I’ve always ordered the tall. These have been my favorite jeans for a very long time. They fit around the waist and make sure you order a size down. They stretch out depending on the amount of stretch material."
"Love this brand of jeans, They are the only brand I buy. Size 4 fits perfect. The lenght is 2" to long but an easy fix."
"Fabric weight is great for spring, summer, fall wear. Craftsmanship is very good. Fit is excellent. I especially like the slightly smaller size and higher placement of the back pockets."
"These jeans are a perfect fit for me. The style is causal, but tailored. I hope that optic white will be available in this style soon. !"
"Very nice jeans; good fabric, comfortable fit. They were too long (and longer than the red Marilyn’s) but I hemmed them and they are now the right length. I wish they were a little narrower at the ankle."
"Fit is spot on--I found my perfect size at NYDJ. The color and cut remind me of jeans I wore when I was in my 20s. And the quality goes without saying . . ."
"They fit great. They are just a little too long but I can make them work. The fit is worth it."
"Love the high waisted Marilyn Straight jeans. They are comfortable and lite perfect! Ordered another pair recently."
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.
