The Levi's Wedgie Fit Jeans bring a more modern fit, stretchier denim, and exceptionally flattering high rise to an iconic vintage Levi's style.
The name of these jeans may make them sound less than comfortable, but reviewers promise otherwise. In reality, these jeans are constructed to give your backside a little lift— and people swear they've seen an instant transformation when they put these on.
As the creator of the world's first blue jean, Levi's has earned a reputation for quality, comfort, and durability. The Wedgie Fit jeans embody all of what makes Levi's so iconic, with a few modern adjustments.
Style-wise, these look like an authentic, vintage pair of Levi's. But, they've got just a little more stretch and shape, making them both more comfortable and flattering. The high-rise should cover your belly button, and is pretty fitted around the waist, making it easy to pair with cropped tops and tunics alike. The fit is tapered and runs snug through the hip and thigh, but is a little more spacious through the rest of the leg. The slightly cropped length is perfect for wearing with sneakers and heels alike. If you'd like a wider fit throughout the leg, opt for the Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans.
Jennifer Mankins, owner of popular Brooklyn boutique Bird, raved about the Wedgie Fit jeans to The Strategist. She called them a "perfect" pair of straight-leg jeans, noting that she appreciated their high, but not too-high rise and the bit of stretch.
Glamour fashion editor Ana Colon claims these are her favorite pairs of Levi's and a wardrobe staple. Before buying a top, she told the publication, she always considers if she could wear it with her Wedgie Jeans.
Insider Picks editor Sally Kaplan shared the same sentiment. "My Wedgie Fit jeans are the first pair I gravitate toward when I'm wearing a cropped sweater or T-shirt," she says. "They hit my at my natural waist so I don't end up feeling exposed, and I appreciate that they're zippered (no one actually enjoys buttoning their jeans up). I will say, they nip in a lot at the waist, which is part of why they look so good, but that can make them uncomfortable to sit in if you're stuck at a desk or on an airplane all day."
Pros: Durable denim, butt-lifting
Cons: Some may find them to be too short or too tight around the waist
