This is a beautiful and flattering pair of jeans. It makes you look slimmer (I wear size 31/32). Due to a high % of elasthane, it is also super comfy and stretchable, but still not too stretchy. The colour is just like on the photos - darkest blue; very pretty and flattering. These are definitely straight jeans with normal length (not skinny, not tapered), just as described. They do not sit tight and shape moderately. I think it is perfectly wearable as business casual item. It is slightly on the big size, so if you are between two sizes, I suggest you size down! I might have gone better with a smaller size.
