Summary

Free People Good Luck Barrel is an intentional barrel silhouette that often reads large versus fitted denim at the same waist. Size down if you want the barrel higher and cleaner; stay TTS for a hip-slung slouch. Free People tops/dresses often run large too — denim is more structured but still wash-variable. Partial because Nordstrom TTS votes conflict with size-down retailer tips.
