Product Information
Full details
The Levi's 318 Shaping Wide Leg Tall jeans in size 16 are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, figure-flattering denim. Their key benefit is a wide leg silhouette with an integrated abdominal insert that offers a slimming effect and abdominal support, combined with soft, stretchy denim that retains its shape. A potential caveat is that the 'tall' sizing may not suit all heights, and the specific fit of the shaping insert may vary in effectiveness depending on individual body types.

FAQs
What does 'Stellar Stretch' mean?
Stellar Stretch refers to Levi's fabric technology that combines cotton with polyester and Lycra to provide comfort, flexibility, and excellent shape retention, meaning the jeans adapt to your body and bounce back without stretching out.
How does the abdominal insert work?
The integrated abdominal insert is a design feature within the waistband that offers gentle compression and support to the stomach area, aiming to create a smoother, flatter appearance.
Are these jeans suitable for all body types?
While designed to be flattering with a wide leg and shaping insert, the fit and effectiveness can vary. The 'tall' sizing is specifically for longer inseams. It's recommended to try them on or consult the size chart for the best fit.
Can I machine dry these jeans?
Yes, but it is recommended to tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry. High heat can degrade the stretch fibers over time and impact the garment's ability to retain its shape.
What is the rise of these jeans?
These jeans feature a mid-rise, meaning the waistband sits at your natural waistline.
What material are the jeans made of?
The jeans are primarily made of 80% Cotton, 19% Polyester, and 1% Lycra.
How do I know if the 'Tall' size is right for me?
The 'Tall' designation indicates a longer inseam length compared to standard sizing. If you have longer legs or prefer a longer hemline, this size is likely appropriate. Refer to Levi's specific size chart for inseam measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight initially
The Stellar Stretch denim is designed to adapt. Wear them for a short period; they should stretch slightly to fit your body comfortably. Avoid excessive stretching before first wear.
Shaping insert feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The insert is designed to provide gentle support; if it feels overly restrictive, the size may be incorrect, or this particular fit may not suit your body shape.
Denim losing shape after washing
Follow care instructions precisely. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, as these can degrade the Lycra content and affect shape retention. Hang drying is recommended.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure no denim fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.
