Default Joe's Jeans Provocateur Sizing
In your experience, do Joe's Jeans (Provocateur) run true to size, or small? I've heard both. I'm a 29 in 7 For All Mankind.

Thanks!

Definitely exactly what you said. I'm a 25 in jeans and when I tried these on I couldn't get them up over my butt. I would size up, but if you have the chance you should try them on or purchase them from a place where you can easily return/swap sizes because the cut of the jeans was a little weird. HTH!

If you have any kind of booty, you should size up. I wear a 26 in Joe's Honey cut and a 27 in the Provocateur is just a little too tight. They do stretch out after wearing them a few times, so getting them a little tight is ok.

I find they run true to size. I'm the same size in Seven for All Mankind, Citizens, Rock & Republic as I am in Joe's Jeans provocateur.

Honestly it depends on the wash because I have the Harvey, Kennedy and and Kylee washes and ALL three of them fit differently. The Harvey are too long for me and run really big and loose on me. The Kennedy are BARELY long enough and they are very fitted. The Kylee are just right though, TTS and just the right length. Keep in mind that each pair fits different so you might have to try multiples of the same style to get your fit.

ITA the Harvey are loose on me as well and the Noah are tighter
I bought 27 in both but I wish I had tried the Harvey in 26 (purchased on Hautelook)

Definitely try them on in person first.
I wear a 27 in most brands, but can either wear a 26 or 27 in the Joe's depending on the material.
