Product Information
Full details
The Levi's Plus 318 Shaping Wide Leg Jeans in Black (Size 20) are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and flattering denim option. Their key benefit is the built-in tummy panel that smooths and supports, combined with a wide-leg silhouette for a stylish look. A potential caveat is that the 'shaping' aspect might feel restrictive for those preferring a looser fit through the midsection. These jeans offer a mid-rise fit, soft stretch denim that moves with you, and classic 5-pocket styling.

FAQs
What does '318 Shaping' refer to?
The '318 Shaping' indicates that these jeans incorporate a built-in tummy panel designed to provide smoothing and support to the midsection, enhancing the overall silhouette.
Are these jeans suitable for plus-size figures?
Yes, these are part of Levi's Plus collection and are specifically designed with features like a shaping panel and a flattering wide-leg cut to accommodate and enhance plus-size figures.
How do I know if I should size up or down?
It's recommended to consult the Levi's specific size guide for this model, as fit can vary. Given the shaping feature, some may prefer to size up for a more relaxed fit, while others find their usual size provides the intended smoothing effect.
Can the shaping panel be removed?
No, the tummy panel is integrated into the construction of the jeans and cannot be removed.
What kind of shoes pair best with wide-leg jeans?
Wide-leg jeans are versatile. They pair well with heeled boots, wedges, sneakers, and even loafers. The key is to ensure the hemline of the jeans complements the height and style of your footwear.
How does the stretch denim affect the fit?
The stretch denim provides added comfort and allows the jeans to move with you throughout the day without becoming baggy or losing their shape. It offers a more forgiving and comfortable fit compared to rigid denim.
What is the difference between these and other Levi's wide-leg styles?
The '318 Shaping' designation highlights the integrated tummy-smoothing panel, which is the key differentiator. Other Levi's wide-leg styles might focus purely on silhouette without specific shaping features.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight in the waist/tummy area.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Levi's size chart. The shaping panel is designed to be snug; if it feels excessively restrictive, consider if this specific fit is suitable for your comfort preference.
Denim has lost its shape after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding water temperature and drying methods. Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade the stretch fibers. Reshape the jeans while damp if necessary.
Color appears faded after a few washes.
Wash the jeans inside out in cold water to help preserve the color. Use a detergent designed for dark colors if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These jeans require no specific setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are designed to be compatible with most casual and semi-formal tops and footwear. For care, it is recommended to machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. To maintain the integrity of the stretch denim and the shaping panel, avoid using bleach and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Ironing on a low heat setting may be necessary if creases persist. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
