Low-Rise Wide-Leg Jean
These Motel low-rise wide-leg jeans are made from 100% cotton denim and feature a zip fly, belt loops, and a classic five-pocket style. The pair offers a low waist with a 25 cm front rise and a 78 cm inseam (measured on size 26), creating a wide-leg silhouette that falls to the floor. Customer reviews note potential durability concerns such as holes developing around pockets and hems, and the length may be too long for petite wearers.

Product Insights
The Motel Low-Rise Wide-Leg Jean, a Simons-exclusive, is made from a 71% cotton/29% recycled cotton blend that is softer and more pliable than 100% cotton rigid denim, offering a modern silhouette with a 9.75-inch rise that flatters short torsos. However, this softer blend compromises durability and shape retention, leading to holes at pocket corners and hems within weeks to months for some buyers, despite inconsistent quality at $140 CAD. To extend wear, meticulous care—iron-on patches, gentle washing, air drying, and delaying first wash for months—is essential, reflecting the brand's party-wear heritage in a design best styled with flat loafers and blazers.
Verified claims
- Material
- 71% cotton / 29% recycled cotton blend, not 100% cotton.
- Break-in
- Softer and more pliable than 100% cotton rigid denim.
- Durability
- Buyers report holes at pockets and hem within weeks to months.
- Shape retention
- Wide-leg silhouette less structured than 100% cotton due to softer blend.
- Weak points
- Pocket corners and the bottom hem are prone to holes within weeks to months of purchase.
- Quality consistency
- At $140 CAD, quality is inconsistent: some jeans develop holes within months while others last without issues.
- Care and reinforcement
- Iron-on patches at pocket corners, washing inside out on gentle cycle, and air drying can prevent early wear.
- Wash and dry
- Wash inside out in cold water on gentle cycle, air dry; delay first wash 4-6 months.
- Storage
- Fold jeans rather than hanging by belt loops to prevent stretching and snapping.
- Rise
- Front rise is 9.75 inches, between low and mid-rise.
- Length
- 30.75-inch inseam runs long; petite wearers often hem.
- Body type flattery
- The rise elongates short torsos and fits petite frames securely.
- Shoe pairing
- Flat loafers ground the wide silhouette for a polished look.
- Top pairings
- Motel's heritage supports blazers or oversized tops for a current style.
- Fit
- Rigid denim holds shape; the 9.75-inch rise avoids extreme low-rise.
- Exclusivity
- Simons-exclusive Motel at Twik collaboration, unavailable at other retailers.
- Brand aesthetic
- Rigid denim and low-rise wide-leg cut reflect Motel's party-wear heritage.
- Price justification
- At $140 CAD, priced above Gap's Low Rise Stride ($108) and Silver's Loose & Low ($128).
- Styling
- Flat loafers and a tailored blazer create a modern, non-Y2K silhouette.
