FAQs
What does '318 Shaping' mean?
The '318 Shaping' designation refers to this specific Levi's model that includes a built-in tummy panel designed to offer smoothing and support for a more streamlined look.
How do I know if the size 18 will fit me?
These jeans are described as a 'true-to-size fit.' For the most accurate assessment, compare your measurements to the Levi's official sizing chart available on their website.
Can these jeans be worn for formal occasions?
While the wide-leg silhouette can be dressed up, these are primarily casual to smart-casual jeans due to their denim material. Pairing them with a dressy top and heels can elevate the look for semi-formal events.
Is the stretch denim durable?
Yes, Levi's uses quality denim blends. The stretch denim is designed for comfort and flexibility while maintaining durability for everyday wear, provided care instructions are followed.
What is the rise of these jeans?
These jeans feature a mid-rise waist, which typically sits comfortably at or just below the navel.
How should I care for the black denim to prevent fading?
To minimize fading, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar dark colors. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and hot water.
Are there other colors available for the 318 Shaping Wide Leg style?
Yes, the Levi's 318 Shaping Wide Leg style is often available in other washes, including blue denim and potentially white, though availability may vary.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or style, as body shapes vary. The stretch denim offers some flexibility.
Tummy panel feels uncomfortable
The tummy panel is designed for subtle smoothing. If it feels restrictive, ensure the jeans are fully pulled up to the natural waist. Different body shapes may experience the panel differently.
Denim loses shape after wear
While designed to maintain shape, frequent stretching or prolonged wear without a break can affect denim. Allow the jeans to rest between wears, and follow washing instructions carefully to preserve elasticity.
Color fades significantly after washing
Always wash dark colors like black denim separately in cold water. Using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying can help preserve the color.
