Product Information
Full details
The Levi's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans are designed for women seeking a blend of classic style and everyday confidence through intentional garment engineering. These jeans provide a significant benefit by utilizing a specialized tummy-slimming panel and contoured denim that lifts the seat, though users should be aware that the shaping construction provides a firmer feel compared to standard non-stretch denim.

FAQs
Are these jeans high-rise or mid-rise?
The 314 Shaping series generally features a mid-rise waist, designed to sit comfortably at your natural waistline while providing coverage for the shaping panel.
Does the shaping panel make them uncomfortable?
While the panel is designed for compression, it is crafted with soft, flexible materials. Most users find them comfortable for all-day wear once broken in.
Do I need to size up because of the shaping panel?
It is recommended to purchase your standard denim size, as the shaping fabric is intended to provide a snug, sculpting fit.
Can I put these jeans in the dryer?
It is best to avoid the dryer. Heat can degrade the stretch fibers in the denim, which will eventually loosen the shaping effect of the garment.
Is the black dye prone to rubbing off on other fabrics?
Dark denim can sometimes transfer color when new. It is recommended to wash them separately once or twice before wearing with light-colored clothing.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight around the waist initially
The shaping panel is designed to provide compression. Wear them for a few hours to allow the fabric to adapt to your body heat and movement.
Color fading after multiple washes
Ensure you are using a detergent specifically formulated for dark clothes and always wash on the 'cold' cycle with the garment turned inside-out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Levi's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans retain their shape and color, proper care is essential. Since the garment features a slim-sculpting panel, ensure you select your correct waist and length measurement from the available sizing variants to avoid unnecessary stress on the internal seams.
Care Instructions:
- Always wash inside-out in cold water to preserve the deep black dye.
- Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
- Air dry whenever possible to prevent the spandex/stretch components in the fabric from breaking down due to high heat in a tumble dryer.
- If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting to avoid damaging the shaping fabric.
