Maurices Jeans – My Honest Try-On Reviews

When it comes to denim, I’m always looking for that sweet spot between comfort, flattering fit, and everyday versatility. That’s why I decided to try a few Maurices jeans and shorts styles that promised stretch, shape retention, and style. I tested three options: the Elyse Mid Rise Comfort Fit Crop Jeans, the Silver Jeans Co.® Sure Thing High Rise Frayed Hem Shorts, and the Silver Jeans Co.® Britt Curvy Low Rise 4in Shorts. Here’s my honest take on how they performed in real life—from fit and feel to wearability.

Elyse Mid Rise Comfort Fit Crop Jeans – Stretchy, Soft & Everyday-Friendly

I started with the Elyse Crop Jeans because they seemed perfect for spring-to-summer weather. They’re mid-rise with a comfy waistband that’s specifically designed to smooth and ease around the midsection (yes, muffin top control!). As someone who values flexibility in jeans, I immediately appreciated the Power Stretch fabric. It’s snug where it should be but never digs in.

The light sandblast wash is super versatile, and I love the rolled hem for a casual finish. These hit right at the mid-calf for me (I’m 5’6”), making them a great option for sneakers, sandals, or low boots. All the pockets are functional—thank you, Maurices—and the American thick-stitching on the back pockets adds a cool vintage touch.

Pros:

• Excellent stretch with shape recovery
• Mid-rise feels supportive and flattering
• Great cropped length for warmer days
• Soft, breathable denim

Cons:

• Waistband may roll slightly when sitting for long hours
• Runs a bit large—consider sizing down for a firmer fit

Silver Jeans Co.® Sure Thing High Rise Frayed Hem Shorts – Retro Chic with Comfort

These were a surprise favorite! The Sure Thing High Rise Shorts are exactly what I want in a classic denim short: high-waisted, soft, and perfectly distressed. The light wash gives them that worn-in, lived-in summer vibe, while the frayed hem adds just enough edge. They’re not overly stretchy, but there’s just enough give to keep them comfortable through hours of wear.

At 4.5 inches, the inseam is just long enough to keep things covered but still show off your legs. I paired them with a cropped knit and ankle boots for a retro-inspired look, and they stayed in place all day—no riding up, no awkward bunching.

Pros:

• Perfect high-rise cut for a flattering waistline
• Trendy frayed hem detail
• Comfortable even without heavy stretch
• Great length for most body types

Cons:

• Back pockets sit slightly higher than I’m used to
• Fabric is thicker—better for moderate temps than high heat

Silver Jeans Co.® Britt Curvy Low Rise Shorts – Comfy Fit for Curvy Hips

Last but not least, the Britt Curvy Shorts really cater to curves—and it shows. These are low-rise, which usually makes me cautious, but the fit around the hips and backside was spot on. They didn’t gap in the back (hallelujah), and the rolled hem gave them a polished yet casual vibe.

The vintage thick stitching gives them a bit of a Western-style edge, which I loved for summer concerts or lake weekends. The fabric has a bit of stretch, but it’s mostly structured, so they hold their shape really well. Plus, the 4-inch inseam is modest without feeling matronly.

Pros:

• Designed specifically for curvy shapes
• No back-gap—yay!
• Slight stretch with great structure
• Low-rise without being too revealing

Cons:

• May not suit those who prefer mid-to-high-rise fits
• Thicker hem makes them less ideal for tucking in tops

Final Thoughts

After testing these three styles, I’m genuinely impressed with Maurices jeans and shorts. They cater to real bodies with thoughtful design, premium denim, and versatile washes that suit both everyday errands and casual outings.

• The Elyse Crop Jeans are great for day-to-day comfort with a polished edge.
• The Sure Thing High Rise Shorts deliver on summer style and flattering fit.
• The Britt Curvy Shorts are a curvy girl’s dream with structure and ease.

All in all, Maurices offers denim that’s made to move with you—without sacrificing style or breaking the bank. Whether you’re curvy, petite, or somewhere in between, there’s a fit that’ll work for you. I’ll definitely be stocking up on a few more pairs!
