As someone with a “pear”-shaped body, Levi’s jeans tend to sit rigid on me. Not these: They’re no-stretch, but the denim has juuuust enough give to be comfortable, even though I sit at my desk all day long. Being 5’7 makes finding a jean that hits my ankle in that cool shorty way really hard: Either I get jeans that look like capris, or jeans that are far too long. Not these! The length is perfection, and it makes showing off a pair of sandals (as pictured above) or ankle boots seamless.
Okay: The wash. Ugh. It’s beautiful. I chose “Unstoppable Wear” which is described as a “dark wash,” but as you can see from my photo above, it’s more of a classic blue. Not too light, not too dark (which is great for a year-round pair of jeans). It goes with everything in my closet, but lately I’ve been pairing it with a T-shirt and slides for a late summer-early fall look in Los Angeles.
And last but not least: Yes, the Wedgie accentuates your assets. I say this as someone who lost like 40 percent butt post-pregnancy, so I’m sensitive to clothing that does nothing for my derriere. While the jeans may be called “The Wedgie,” you will not, in fact, get a wedgie from wearing them if you pick the right size. I chose a size 31—I’m currently between a size 30 and 31—which fit me perfectly. I’d recommend choosing your size and a size up since I do think Levi’s tend to run a bit smaller (in my opinion!).
