According to the Me+Em website​,​ denim 28 is a S​/​US 6 equivalent. This is the tapered denim. There's some wear near the hem (pls look carefully at the pics). I'm 5'11 and the length didn't work for me but this style seems to be very "in" which makes me sad but oh well​,​ c'est la vie. 100% cotton.
