I really like Prana in this cut. They are low rise, but work for me as more mid-rise since I am petite with a straight figure. Regular mid rise is too curvy for me. Legs are really really long-be prepared to hem.

Perfect summer jeans! Light weight fabric and stretch make them so comfortable. They look really cute rolled up or down. I've worn them with flats and with heels.

They run a bit large in the waist (no way have I lost weight over the last 2 years!). Length is very long, which I like.

They were a bit snug. I have 2 other pair of Kara jeans, same size. They fit perfectly. But not the white. I had to return them.

These jeans are stretchy and the fabric is lightweight, which makes them more comfy than most other jeans. As one reviewer noted, the sizes can be a little off. I'm 5'5" and 109 and have ordered a couple of pairs. The size 2 fit with one color, but had to order a size 4 in another color. The inseam is much longer than stated, so you'll either need to roll them up or hem them. I like these jeans so much that I came back to order another pair in Ashy, but that color is no longer available.

Love Kara jeans.....the material is soft, and there"s lots of stretch. They are long for me, but I love the look of cuffs. I decided I didn't like the color, Volcanic Plum, so returned them and ordered the dark olive green instead. These jeans are low rise, which works for me because I am so short waisted. It's hard to find low rise jeans anymore, so I'm glad Prana is still offering the Kara jean.

Nice jeans, helps lift your bottom. The length is incorrect, they are a 33 inch inseam so will need to have them shortened.

I'm 5'5 and 140 lb., got sizes 8 and 10 and returned the 8. It fit, but tighter than I am comfortable with. I shortened the 10 and took in the waist a bit, and I am happy with them.

Cute jean, but returning because sizing is off. I regularly wear several other Prana pants in size 8 (Halle, Meme, Brenna) but couldn't get the zipper closed on these 8's. Also the "volcanic plum" color is a bit odd - if I saw it without being told what color it's supposed to be, I would probably have said it is grey mixed with lavender and brown. It's more of a neutral and I'm still deciding how I feel about it.
As other reviewers have noted, these jeans are really LONG, and the inseam advertised is really the length *with cuffs*. Still easy enough to hem or roll up, but a bit of misleading description there. That said - Prana does really nail the easy-care, lightweight stretch denim fabric with all of their jeans.
Thank goodness for Zappos' easy return policy. I may try another size and color.

The size 4 was a bit too tight. I have very thin legs and not a big tush, but they were hugging me too tight all over! And I am not afraid of wearing fitted clothes. I am 5'8" and 135lbs. Also, they are a bit too see through for me.

I really like these jeans. The material is soft, much lighter than regular denim but perfect for working from home when I don't want to be in workout clothes all day. You could definitely dress them up a little or down, so fairly versatile. They hold their shape nicely after wearing them all day. I need a 33" length so uncuffing them made them a perfect length. However, as other reviewers have stated the sizing is inconsistent. I got the 6 and 8 in denim and sepia, ended up ordering another pair of 6 in denim to see if they fit differently (they did). I kept a pair of the denim 6 and the sepia 8. I couldn't even button the 6 in Sepia. Length was slightly inconsistent among all 4 pair but if you are cuffing these it wouldn't matter. For reference I'm almost 5'8" and 140 and wear a 6 in all other jeans/pants. Pants worth having but consider ordering size options.

The sizing is super inconsistent, i have these same jeans in a different color and the 12 is just right, in indigo they were too small and I had to size up. They are super cute though, and very comfy.

Overall these pants are very comfy and cute! The cuff definitely makes them feel more casual and as others have stated, uncuffed they are pretty long. The rise is a little low but I still kept them. I bought them in the Cargo Green color, great for summer and winter! I'm 5'5, 140 lbs and got a size 4 (I'm in between sizes, definitely could've kept the size 6 but they were just slightly too big for my taste).

These are great pants and I have two pairs in the denim, a size 4 and a 6 for those days when I fluctuate in size. They are thin and stretchy and very comfy, yet when they're tight the white is almost see through. "Too much information" is not a good thing. I ordered a 4 and then exchanged them for a 6 in white, but wish I'd tried an 8 to diminish my exposure. I've already worn the size 6 so I can't return them.

I wear a 10 in other Prana pants, but these were very tight. Lower rise than I expected that gave me a serious muffin top, and I have a pretty flat stomach. Maybe a larger size would have helped. Nice olive color.

I LOVE Prana and I wanted to love these pants but after holding on to them for over six months I never could love them. I kept trying them on but they were stiff and didn’t make me feel comfortable at all, so I ended up returning them.

The only flaw is that if you have a gut, the tightness of the buckle at the top sinks into your stomach over time making it extremely uncomfortable. It's like the waist of the jean gets tighter as you sit in it so I would have appreciated a bit more stomach room. I have a hard time finding jeans because I wear a size 8, but my stomach is a size 12/14. I wish more jean companies realized that not everyone has flat stomachs even if they are petite.

These Prana jeans are great in all aspects except the length. The photo shows an un-cuffed pant, which is what I wanted in a 28.5" length. I wanted the pants to hit at my ankle bone but the pants are more like a 35" inseam that is 28.5" if you cuff them. I wanted something a little neater and will be sending these back.

The fabric is a little funny.. I prefer cotton and I guess this blend just doesn't work for me. It doesn't look or feel like denim which is what jeans are normally made from.. even stretch jeans.

Tried these in white and although the fit was OK, the fabric was too see-through.

I bought these jeans in cargo color. They are very comfortable but not a denim material that you would expect from something labeled as jeans. it is more of a soft stretch cotton. The inseam on the website says 28½", but this is the measurement taken when the jeans are folded or cuffed on the bottom, true inseam measurement is 35"! These are low rise jeans which is fine for the front but I always have a problem with the rear rise not being long enough and revealing a plumber crack. These are no different. All that aside these are nice and comfortable pants to wear. I would expect some shrinking in the wash because it is mostly cotton but they are a little stretchy so I am not worried. The color is nice, these are keepers, They will just need to be hemmed to fit better. I am about 5'4", 135 pounds and ordered a 12 which is slightly loose but comfortable.

The fit was decent but the button hole was too small for the button. The other issue is they are just blue, not a thread or rivet shows. They are ugly plain blue. I sent 2 photos but it requested smaller photos
