"Received the black jeans and they are a poor fit. They bag and seem to be made of thinner denim. I wish to return them. Please advise. I have been a steady customer for many years and am a perfect size 10 in NYDJ. This is my first disappointment in a decade."
"These are really quite nice and a good change from the wider jeans I’d been wearing. I like the fabric and the length. The fit is comfortable although I would have liked a little higher rise."
"I wasn't expecting a jeans that I ordered on line, would be so wonderful. The fit, the attention to detail, the fabric is so soft, is truly the best combination for my new favorite jeans. I love them 💗"
"These black jeans are black. The color is dark which most blacks are not. My favorite is the Marilyn. I like how the straight cut makes my legs look longer and thinner. Perfect Jean. I have quite a few pairs and just ordered two more."
"The jeans are a perfect fit for me. Delivery was prompt. Customer service is not what it used to be. Somewhat disappointed in the communication."
"My new black jeans look fabulous on and when I washed them they came out perfectly black and fit me perfect. They retained the perfect shape and when I modeled them for my husband he loved them. I did have to have them shortened. These are a winner!"
"Excellent fit. Leg length was true to description. The waist was snug in the size 8 ( my usual size ) so exchanged it for a 10. Wonderful jeans!"
"When you don’t know if you want to go wide leg or flare go straight. Straight to Marilyn it is the perfect width and is always in style."
"NYDJ are simply my very fave jeans for fit, looks and wear! They always guide you on ordering the correct size and I love that they always are a true fit!"
"Nice high rise and a dark black color. Fit is perfect"
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.
