Product Information
Full details
The Levi's 501® Curve Jeans in Blue Denim are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and flattering fit that accommodates curvier body types. The key benefit is the enhanced room in the seat and thigh, combined with a high rise and tailored hip-to-waist ratio for a sculpted look. A minor caveat is that denim with a touch of stretch may require careful washing to maintain its shape. These iconic jeans feature the classic button fly, 5-pocket styling, and are machine washable.

FAQs
What makes the 501® Curve jeans different from the original 501®?
The 501® Curve jeans are specifically engineered with more room in the seat and thigh and a tailored hip-to-waist ratio to better accommodate curvier body shapes, offering a more flattering and comfortable fit compared to the straight fit of the original 501®.
Do these jeans have stretch?
Yes, the Levi's 501® Curve jeans feature a touch of stretch, typically through the addition of elastane or similar fibers, to provide enhanced comfort and ease of movement.
How should I wash my Levi's 501® Curve Jeans?
It is recommended to machine wash them cold, inside out, with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry.
What is the rise of these jeans?
These jeans feature a high rise, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist.
Are these jeans suitable for all body types?
While designed with curvier figures in mind, they can be worn by various body types. However, the specific cut offers optimal benefits for those needing more room in the seat and thigh.
Can I machine dry these jeans?
Yes, but it's recommended to tumble dry on a low setting or preferably hang them to dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and minimize shrinkage, especially due to the stretch content.
What does 'tailored hip-to-waist ratio' mean?
It means the jeans are cut to fit the curve between the hips and the waist more closely, reducing the likelihood of waistband gap commonly experienced by those with a more defined waist relative to their hips.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight initially.
This is common with new denim, especially those with stretch. Wear them around the house to break them in. They should loosen up slightly with wear and body heat.
Waistband gap at the back.
The 501® Curve is designed with a tailored hip-to-waist ratio. If a gap persists, consider a belt or trying a size down if the rest of the fit allows.
Color fading after washing.
Wash the jeans in cold water, inside out, and with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive spinning. Air drying or low heat tumble drying can also help maintain color.
Stretch feels less elastic over time.
Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade elastic fibers. Stick to cold washing and low heat or air drying.
