The Lee Stella Jeans are designed for women seeking a stylish, retro-inspired wide-leg denim with a modern, flattering fit. Their key benefit is the unique A-line silhouette that enhances leg length and pairs effortlessly with various footwear.

FAQs
What does 'selvedge denim' mean?
Selvedge denim is produced on a specialized loom that creates a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge'), preventing fraying. It's often associated with higher quality denim and is traditionally finished with a colored thread, like the tobacco stitching on these jeans.
How do I care for selvedge denim?
To preserve the integrity and color of selvedge denim, it's recommended to wash them infrequently. Wash cold, inside out, and hang dry. Spot cleaning for minor stains is preferable to frequent machine washing.
What is the fit of the Stella Jean?
The Stella Jean features an ultra-high waist and a wide-leg cut shaped into an A-line silhouette. It is designed to be flattering and comfortable, offering a retro-inspired look.
Does the denim stretch?
This model is made from 13.25oz low-stretch twill selvedge denim. While it contains 19% recycled cotton, it is designed to hold its shape and may require some time to break in for optimal comfort.
How should I style the wide leg?
The wide leg is versatile. Pair with fitted tops or tuck in looser styles to balance the volume. Footwear like sneakers, boots, or heels works well, with the turned-up hems adding a stylistic element.
What does 'Xion' refer to?
Xion refers to the specific dark navy rinse and tobacco stitching finish applied to these particular jeans, giving them their unique aesthetic.
Are these jeans suitable for all body types?
The ultra-high waist and A-line wide leg are designed to be flattering. However, personal preference and body shape can influence how any garment fits and looks. We recommend checking the size guide and considering the garment's structure.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel stiff or tight initially
This is common with low-stretch denim. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the fabric to break in and mold to your body. Avoid excessive washing, as this can prolong the break-in period.
Color appears different from expected
Denim color can vary slightly due to lighting during photography and individual screen settings. The Xion rinse is a dark navy. Check product images under different lighting conditions if possible.
Hems are too long or short
The hems are intentionally turned up and tacked to showcase the selvedge. Altering them will remove this feature. If the length is unsuitable, consider if another size or model would be a better fit. Professional alteration is possible but will impact the selvedge detail.
