If you’ve been following along for awhile, you know I’ve been a loyal fan of Wit and Wisdom jeans and their Ab-solution technology for several years. I think it’s been 3 years since I first tried their jeans for myself, and I immediately named that pair a MUST HAVE as the best fitting jeans. Lots of you ladies jumped on the bandwagon with me and have been believers in this brand ever since.
Since my initial pair, I’ve added several additional Wit and Wisdom styles to my closet, and I’ve loved them all. So when the company reached out directly to ask if I wanted to partner with them to talk about their jeans in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I couldn’t jump on board fast enough.
They have lots of styles and washes in the sale this year (including petites and plus size), and I have a handful that are my favorites. All 3 of my favorite pairs boast their Ab-solution technology making them the BEST fitting jeans at an incredible price.
What’s Ab-solution technology? So happy you asked!
The Ab-solution technology features the following:
- No Gap Waistband: Jeans are fitted with a no-gap elastic through the waist, keeping the denim solidly in place.
- Slimming Mesh Panels: The front of all Ab-solution jeans are fitted with power mesh panel to help flatten and smooth. Fitted with ultra-stretch to insure that the jeans expand where they need while hugging your body just right.
- Booty Lift with Sweetheart Yoke and Darts: Strategically placed pockets help to boost your assets, while the sweetheart yolk stitching gives the illusion of a booty lift.
- Sculpting Stretch Fabric.
You know what all that means to me? THE JEANS ARE FLATTERING AS ALL GET OUT. Stated simply, they make me appear skinnier than I actually am. AND they are stretchy and comfy. UM. YES, PLEASE.
And in addition to all of the skinny making technology (ha!), this brand’s price point is incredible. The prices are great all year long, but the Anniversary Sale prices are astounding. We’re talking $44.90 for most of the available jeans, and none of them are over $59. Fantastic prices for high quality denim.
So, let’s jump in!
My Top 3 Best Fitting Jeans from Wit & Wisdom
BOOT CUT JEANS
I’ve had this exact pair of boot cut jeans in my closet for a little over a year now. And I had a similar pair the year before that, but the stitching was white. THANK HEAVENS they changed the stitching color, because the white stitching stood out and affected the overall look of the jeans.
These jeans are dang near perfect. You can also find this boot cut pair in black.
plaid top / earrings / short necklace / leopard clutch / boot cut jeans / cognac booties
I’ve talked about this sooooo many times…but these jeans make me appear both skinnier AND TALLER than I actually am. I mean, how tall do I look in the picture? AND HOW LONG DO MY LEGS LOOK? I really feel like the jeans add 2 inches!
In the boot cut jeans, I wear a regular 4 (and I’m almost 5’4″). When wearing tall wedges or booties, you can see that the regular length is perfect on me. I do have long legs for my height, so keep that in mind.
I feel great in these jeans.
This plaid shirt keeps going in and out of stock, but I love it. It’s a great plaid with beautiful fall colors. The shirt is actually quite thin, which surprised me, but I don’t mind it at all! It’s not thin enough that it would require a cami, and it’s perfect for layering with a light military jacket or something similar. You can find other plaid button ups in the sale HERE.
And I think the plaid paired with the leopard is just plain fun.

BLACK ANKLE JEANS
I typically gravitate towards blue jeans in varying washes, but every once in awhile I like to mix things up with a great pair of black or grey jeans. I love how black jeans can easily be dressed up or down, and I think they just look sleek! This particular pair of black jeans is awesome. The Ab-solution technology holds my tummy in, they are a perfect mid-rise, and the black gives me nice versatility in my wardrobe.
These jeans are so stretchy and comfortable that they don’t even feel like denim. They feel more like a jegging, but they definitely look like a regular pair of jeans. I’m wearing the regular 4s here, so I had to cuff them at the bottom to show a little bit of ankle. I would have tried petites, but they weren’t available for ordering at the time, and I don’t mind the look of a cuff!
ruffle plaid top / my favorite earrings ever / short necklace / long necklace /similar black bag/ black jeans/ cognac booties
This ruffle plaid shirt was sent to me directly by the brand, but when I first pulled it out, I wasn’t in love with it. The cut seemed weird, and the black and brown plaid didn’t get me excited.
BUT Y’ALL. After I put it on I actually really loved it. All of a sudden the cut was interesting, (not just your basic button up), flattering (I love the v in the front), and the plaid was fun because it was different than any others I have. I thought it was a perfect pairing with black jeans! I’m wearing my regular small, and it’s definitely oversized, so size down for a closer fit or if between sizes.
This picture also highlights both my short necklace (awesome for layering) and my long necklace (so fun with the metal finishes and leather tassel)!
I think the overall look was perfect for fall, and I love that it is different than my typical blue jeans. I also happen to love wearing black, brown, and white together.

DARK WASH ANKLE JEANS
So I’ve been singing the praises of these jeans since the beginning of the sale, and I’m sad to report that they seem to be sold out now. If you really want to grab these for yourself, I suggest that you just stalk the site for returns. If you are vigilant, I’m betting you will be able to grab a pair in your size! I went with the 4P (I’m 5’4″) because I wanted them to be perfect for booties, and I like when a tiny bit of skin peeks out from in between the top of the boot and the bottom hem of your jeans. I also love how ankle length jeans tuck into tall boots very easily, without a lot of extra fabric to deal with.
They are soft, stretchy, and hug you in all the right places.
blouse / earrings /wit and wisdom ankle jeans / cognac heeled booties
The blouse is such a fun and vibrant print and was also sent to me by the brand. I love it paired with jeans, but it would also look great with suit pants or a pencil skirt for the office. I’m wearing a small here, but I definitely could have sized down to an x-small.
I thought this was a great look for early fall.

The 2nd outfit with these jeans is a repeat. Maybe you remember it from last Friday’s post?
I loved the vibrant red with the dark wash of the jeans and the leopard clutch! I’ve had this clutch for about a year or so now, I get so many compliments on it, and it’s ONLY $45!
Sizing Tips: I’m wearing my regular small in the sweater and it’s still quite roomy, so size down if you don’t want it quite so relaxed.

I went with the 4P (I’m 5’4″) because I wanted them to be perfect for booties, and I like when a tiny bit of skin peeks out from in between the top of the boot and the bottom hem of your jeans.

Narci Dreffs says
Love all 3 of these pairs of jeans! And that plaid top is just adorable!
Lori R says
I hope you will tell us about your experience with Glo Pro. Do you like it? What results are you getting? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Lori! So it arrived, but I haven’t even started using it yet. 🙁 We went out of town for a bit, and then my website was down, and there were other issues too……so I haven’t even taken it out of the box. I’m so sorry I’m not going to be able to give a review before the sale is over. xoxo, Sheaffer
Rachel K says
I own 2 pair now and have 2 coming in the mail today from the sale. So hoping they fit. For the price point they are the best jeans ever.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Rachel! They really REALLY are!!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sarah says
Hi Shaeffer! I just had to return my itty bitty bootcut jeans and I am so sad. Though they come in petite, they do not come in tall, and they were about 2″ too short on me even for flats. I wish they would consider tall sizing too for us tall ladies! I loved the fit and the waistband so I may have to try some of their skinny jeans where the length could just look more like an ankle cut!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Sarah! I’m getting a lot of these comments, so the brand will definitely see them today! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Diane says
I wish they would start making Tall sizes for the bootcuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neera P says
I ordered the dark ankle jeans based on your recommendation and I love love love them!!! Thanks for another amazing recommendation and for making me spend a lot of money during this sale lol!! ?
Sheaffer says
So happy to hear you love them too, Neera!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Margaret says
I ordered 2 pair of the Absolution skinny jeans and I just LOVE them! I was very hesitant because I have calves-like a fullback kind of calves-and lots of skinny jeans are just too tight in that area. I am glad to say the fit is great! I’m a fan!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Margaret! They must just conform to what they need to. I have skinny calves from my mamma (they called her Olive Oil in high school! ha!), and they are perfect on me too! So happy you love them! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Michelle says
I used to love these jeans a lot, but find the material runs thin after many wears. Wish they lasted longer!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Michelle! I’ve had one pair of mine for 3 years now, and they’ve held up great! I’ve had several others for 1-2 years. Which pair do you have? xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Michelle says
1 pair has the absolution, 1 pair does not. I probably wear each of them more frequently then you do so yours have lasted longer. They’ve worn so thin in between my thighs. Definitely get what you paid for these.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Michelle! Maybe so. I definitely have lots of other jeans that I rotate through. I’m sorry you don’t love them as much as I do! xoxo, Sheaffer
Jenny says
Do you think they stretch out by the end of the day? I find that jeans that are stretchy and comfortable always lose their shape!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jenny! I think these hold their shape very well! Others agree too! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
kristin stevenson says
I am looking for a black handbag. Not the Sole Society handbag that you posted with the plaid ruffle shirt and black jeans but the actual handbag you are carrying in the picture. Do you mind sharing that information?
Thanks.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kristin! That bag is Vince Camuto, but it’s sold out. 🙁 I do love Vince Camuto bags, so check out the brand! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Tara says
Hi Schaeffer:
You convinced me during the Nordstrom anniversary sale! I purchased the Articles of Society jeans on your recommendation and I LOVE THEM!! They just arrived today and when I tried them on my teenaged daughter said, “You finally don’t look like a Mom!!” Haha. Thank you for doing all the searching for a busy Mom who does not have the time to! Tara
Sheaffer says
Ha! I love that, Tara! So glad you love them!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Jenna says
Do the skinny ankle jeans stretch out during the day? I’m in between sizes but don’t want to size up if they’re just going to be too loose by the end of they day.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jenna! I wouldn’t say they stretch out, but they do have plenty of give! I would think you probably wouldn’t want to go up. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Whit says
Just received these jeans (itty bitty boot cut), and I am in LOVE!!!
SO happy with the fit, and the LONG day wear! I’ve been lusting after some REAL bootcut jeans that actually fit for a long time.
THANK YOU!
I feel like these jeans will be perfect with my Frye boots when it gets a bit cooler. (Which was my main concern…..I have VERY short legs. Sometimes petite sizes over compensate on the inseam.)
Risa says
I bought 2 pairs of the Ab-solution jeans. One size is just a tad tight in the waist but I’ve read reviews stating that they will mold to your body. The other pair is just a tad too loose in the waist. Do they shrink when they’re washed and dried? I’m not sure which ones to keep. Please help!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Risa! I would go with the smaller size. They don’t shrink, and if you need to tug on the waist a little bit when wet to try to give them a little extra give, you can do that! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Risa says
Thank you!
Lori says
The wit and wisdom boot cut jeans are sold out. Any other recommendations to a similar pair of boot cut jeans?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lori! Search “Wit and Wisdom itty bitty boot cut jeans” on Nordstrom, and there’s a new pair that’s just a darker wash!!!!!! YAY! xoxo
Lori says
Oh awesome – thanks for the heads up! I looked this morning and
Just saw everything sold out online. I really appreciate you letting me know!
Maureen says
Hello! I’m interested in purchasing the Wit & Wisdom jeans for the first time in bootcut style. I’m 5’3” (about) &118 pounds (ish). I’m not sure on the sizing. I don’t wear a ton of heels, so I’m wondering what size & length I’d be. Petite or regular / 4 or 6.
Thanks in advance!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Maureen! If you are going to wear them wedges, I would definitely get the regulars. And I think you should get the 2. They are stretchy!!! Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Maureen says
Great! Thank you, that helps a ton. I’m more of a flat shoe girl. So, would the size 2 in a petite be better or stick with the regular?
Sheaffer says
I’m almost 5’4″ and the petites were too short on me for flats. However, I have really long legs for my height……so take that into consideration!
Maureen says
Thank you ?
