Okay, I have bought upward of a dozen skinny jeans and have HATED every single one of them until these came into my life. I am 57 years old, 5’7”, curvy 215 lbs, which is why I’ve hated all my jeans until today. I don’t know what is so different but I’ll give you the things I love and you can decide if the features are what you’ve been looking for but could never find:
1) WAISTBAND: they are mid rise but at just the right place—not too high, not too low—I have a waist and they fit perfectly on it. LOVE the wide waistband—doesn’t pinch or show under your clothes because it doesn’t roll over and keeps the stomach flat.
2) LENGTH: absolutely PERFECT length, hits right at the ankle with a bit to spare—I HATE rolling up my jeans because my cankles are not what I want to emphasize by cutting off the length of my legs right at my chunky, swollen ankles. They are PERFECT with little flats and since I can’t wear heels, it’s perfection.
3) BACKSIDE: Love, love, LOVE the pockets—signature Levi longish pockets that cover the vulnerable backend where skinny jeans tend to emphasize any failure you might not want to flaunt.
4) MATERIAL: Total jeans, soft and jean-looking, not thin, worthless material, not heavy, ungiving fabric, the perfect jean look, soft but holds its shape yet isn’t so tight-fitting that it looks like you’ve poured yourself into circa 1960 stirrup pants by the time you’re done pulling them into place.
5) PRICE: Okay, my friend has a pair of jeans that I ADORE but they are $89...and I was so desperate for a good fit that even though I can’t justify spending that kind of money on a pair of jeans, I was just about to splurge and while I was looking for them on here, these popped up. (Thanks for your suggestions, Amazon—I’d have never found them without you!)
6) STITCH STYLE: I simply ADORE the yellow thread of Levi’s...it brings me back to the first pair I ever bought long before you were born, and they add to the jean-factor as opposed to the jegging look.
7) SIZE: I initially hesitated to try Levi’s again because with age, things have shifted a bit on me and they tend to run devastatingly small, don’t flatter my curves, and make me feel badly about myself, but these have given me hope again and LOYALTY. I wear a 16 and bought a 16 and they’re perfect. I bought 16L because I like the length right at the top of my foot.
8) CROTCH: Here’s what I’ve found in other 16’s...if they fit my stomach, the crotch is 3” too long, which pulls my pants down as the day wears on, makes the waistband fold over, and all I do every time I stand up is pull them up...pretty soon the crotch has fallen to a place where you can see it while I walk...NOT COOL. These fit my stomach just right. I PRAY they do not stretch throughout the day...I will amend this if they do, but the reviews indicate they keep their shape, so I’m trusting in that and buying them in every color I can TODAY.
I hope this review has been helpful, I read ALL of them before I bought and I so appreciate all your weights and measurements and fit details!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Oh. My. God. Shut the front door and slap your grandma. Hold on tight because these jeans are gonna get you pregnant. I’m too hot, call the police AND the fireman. Songs immortalize fantastic behinds and if you’ve never felt like the subject of those songs then buy these jeans and buckle up! You’re about to feel like a honkytonk badonkadonk, baby got back, fat bottomed girls, and your anaconda is about to make girls go, “oh my gawd, Becky!”Now that the funny part of this review is over... shut up and buy these jeans. Buy ten pairs because Lord knows as soon as you find a pair of jeans you like you’ll never find them again. I am 4’11” tall, 173 lbs, 45” hips, 33” waist (definitely pear shaped), and I can never - I mean NEVER - find jeans that fit me. These are the right length. They fit my hips. They don’t gap at my waist. And this inner tummy slimming panel? Oh sweet baby cheezus YES. I have a two year old, an awesome mom pouch, and a healthy love of bread. These jeans make me look even better than I did before I grew another human being. Literally ditching every other pair of jeans I have and stocking my entire wardrobe with these.
