Honestly! I tried on my first pair a couple weeks ago and just stood there in the dressing room with them around my thighs like ???? what is happening. I went straight to American Eagle and got a curvy pair and felt better lmao
Carrie-I’m old enough to be your grandma, and I got my first pair of 501’s in the 70’s!! Back then, they were very heavy denim, and so stiff! What we did is buy our jeans at least a couple sizes too big. Then we sat in a tub of hot water until the water was cool and turned blue from the dye. Then we left the jeans on until they dried. From then on, you pull those jeans on and they felt like they were made for you! God, I miss those days.
Those are called Shrink-To-Fits now and are still sold. Those who have been purchasing Levi's forever will still ask for them and "Denim heads" (geeky denim people) love these. Sometimes the Denim heads purchase in their true size and only dry clean them, sometimes in a size up and customize them when they shrink them.
Shrink to fits! 2" extra in the waist 4" in the length. Just throw yjem in the wash 5 times befor wearing. I had one pair last 30 years. Hard as rock new but once broken in nothing on earth was like tehm.
Girl!!!! I know you love your high rise but when you wore that first pair as mid rise my heart skipped. The mid rise looks perfect on you! But obviously do what you're comfy with 🥰🥰
Ok I was coming to say this same thing. Like 🫡 high rise nation is my comfort zone but the mid to low rise fit she tried once or twice I was like YAAASSSSSSSS
Agreed! Why are designers doing this to us. Putting us curvier ladies in high rise tummy accentuating/ torso shortening jeans when we all look so much slimmer & better in mid-rise. This girl’s got a great figure & those mid rise really flattered her.
@carouselcakes6237 High rise trousers are recommended to ladies with longer torsos to give the illusion of longer legs. As someone with short, stumpy legs - high rise is the only rise I wear now.
@@carouselcakes6237 Yes! High rise just isn't flattering. I don't get why so many people think they are. Mid rise has always looked more flattering with a tummy.
Levi's sizing is wild even for non plus sizes. As much as I love the brand I've stopped buying because you just never know. There is so much variation between styles and colorways.
I get mine tailored cause they’re still great quality lol but i prefer vintage lee’s for a custom fit, levi’s is better for ladies with straighter proportions and i’m more of an hourglass
Levi's has copyrighted their signature red tab, but in order for their copyright to be valid they are required to run a certain amount of jeans with the red tab only (blank, no Levi's name printed on).
I LOVE the length of those first ones!! I’m admittedly short so I don’t have the trauma with too short pants- but I always aim for that 7/8 look and think they’re so cute with boots bc more shows, OR with sneakers and a lil ankle poppin out
I personally hate this new trend of jeans that are slightly too short. Lol I’m way more into either an obvious capri or full length. The “1 inch too short” look reminds me of being 12 and trying to wear jeans that fit me when I was 10 pre-growth spurt 😅 With that said, #3 but sized down to that 14 would be amazing and #5 was so cute but definitely a few sizes too big lol that light wash straight jean style looks so good on you. I’m very jealous as I cannot pull off that color or style at all 😭
@@marthamathilda I don’t hate it as much on a skinny jean. I feel like skinny jeans lend themselves to that style since skinny jeans that are bunched at the bottom also look ill-fitting. But the wide leg pants being too short? That’s just a no from me personally 😆
You are absolutely radiant in this video 💗 I don't know if it's the hair, the top, or the makeup (but honestly it's probably just you😉) but honestly girl you popped off💅🏼
ME TOO! Her and I have the same body type I am just a 14ish size so this is so helpful to find a good pair of levis for myself. The search has been daunting. 😢
The rib cage wide leg jeans are my holy grail jeans! I got my regular size which are tight at first but with some time they’re the perfect fit. I would definitely give this style another try!
Thank you for doing the Lord’s work. 😊 I have a Levi’s store right beside my old work place and I like the style of the jeans but I just can’t bother trying on anything anymore.
The first jeans look BEAUTIFUL on you!! 💕💕 I have some levis that are like the same length, but I love them because I can wear cute boots with them! And they wont be covered by my jeans 🥰
hey Carrie the first pair (haven't yet seen the rest but had to say this now) look amazing and they are def not too short - the Levis barrel type shape is supposed to be like that and really is flattering - the color too is amazing please keep them they really suit you.
They looked so great on you !! I love jeans so much I’ve had pretty much every cut, color, wash, rise and embellishment you can imagine !! I enjoy lowrise dark wash flares at the same time as 90s super light wash baggy button fly !!
Highly, highly recommend Gap High Rise wide leg Stride jeans! They come in Tall And Long! Tall extends rise depth and leg length. Long increases leg length to 33.5. Note - they are not super high rise, but I think you'd love them. $80 and nice weight. I'd try both a 14 and a 16 as some can size down in Gap.
Levi’s sizing is wild! I’m a tiny human and I LOVED the ribcage jeans. I had to go to the store to make sure that they fit. They had my perfect size in the light wash which is not what I was looking for so I talked to the manager asking if they had it in a dark wash and they don’t make it?! So weird but he was really nice and ordered me the premium version for the price but so weird. I would just go to the store and try it on
I randomly found a pair of 501s at Goodwill late last year in my size (I'm between a 10 and a 12). I decided to try them on knowing they probably wouldn't work because I have the worst luck thrifting jeans, but they actually fit me. Since I'm also between sizes, I do to always wear a belt, but there now my go-to pair.
Thanks for the video ! I used to love Levi jeans but couldn’t wear them anymore because they didn’t carry plus sizes! Glad to see the new plus sizes! I honestly liked them all but obviously the last ones were too big!
I love watching your haul videos, it would be neat if you made follow up videos (even if they are just short little videos) on the decisions that you made as far as what you kept or exchanged so that we could see the final results and alternate fits of any exchanged sizes or styles. ❤
I've been curious about the ribcage jeans in general, glad to hear they do have a tiny bit of stretch, even in that darker wash. Sorry about the sizing issue on the last pair!
1- Love the fit on you! But I do agree a tall size would be better. 2- These look so so cute on you! I would love to see them with a cowboy boot and a nice bag. 3- Loving the baggy look! They seem versatile, which is nice. 4- I think these are the best overall fit, but if you already own them perhaps redundant. 5- Wish I could have seen them on you in the size down, but the potential is there! Thanks for putting yourself through the trials and tribulations of jeans hunting for us! I love these videos, you are stunning as ever, girl 💗
The red tag with just the symbol is Levi’s way of telling the world that not only the name is copyrighted so is the red tag itself. This keeps other companies from copying the red tag with their name/logo.
We're similar in size so THANK YOU for doing this! I'm so curious and want to buy from them, but was always too scared because of the sizing. 💚💚💚 *Also I'm loving the blue eyeliner. A nod to the denim, perhaps* ?
The difference in the red tags is because the brand is segmented to hit all different tiers of the market. Blue tags are top tier (think collections and collabs), then there are red tags that are premium (so like specialty, high quality, $$$), and the red tags that are lower cost and quality that you can find at like department stores.
Wrong the red tag is copyrighted, the single “r” is used to legalize it. It has nothing to do with “tier” of jeans. All the “r” jeans she showed are part of their premium line.
Have only ever worn men’s 501. In the 70’s-80’s (yeah showing my age😂) they were always shrink to fit. Women’s Levi’s never had the length I need (34 inseam). Wish more women’s jeans had the talks available.
The baggy dad's lenght it's perfect in my opinion! They look great. A little bit too big for you i think! But length wise... I love for wide leg jeans to be ankle lenght!
NO STRETCH. Then they're worth every penny. I'm so tired of elastane in my jeans--they're just not jeans in the way I think of them! Also, those 501s are hot! I wore them in the 90s when I was skinny! I'd love to have them again.
Girl the Levi’s ribcage straight full length (not on the Levi’s website, on aritzia or Nordstrom) changed my life 😂 although I’m not sure if they come in plus size which is unfortunate. But also have so many pairs of the 501 90’s in the longer inseam, I always size down one as they’re a bit baggy and stretch out throughout the day but they’re great!
The length of baggy dad isn’t bad. I have a pair of pants that I think are a smidge too short too, but I love everything else about them and I wear them all the time. I say keep!
The ribcage wide leg would have been perfect in the right size! I would be curious to see what a few of these jeans would look like a size down like you said ❤
The reviews are so mixed that it really is hard to figure out what size to order! I recently ordered Levi's mom jeans and the reviews were all over so I ordered a 33 (16)and 34 (18) and I'm usually always a 16 in most brands! But the size 33 in the mom jeans truly were too tight so I kept the 34 and returned the 33. I really want the ribcage straight leg jeans and you're tempting me!! I love all the jeans on you that you got, but every time I try baggy jeans on myself, I just don't like them on me. 😭 They look so cute on everyone else though! I really even dig the cropped jeans you tried on, I can imagine them looking super cute with boots! I'm obsessed with cropped jeans and boots right now! 😍
Pair #1; Baggy Dad Jeans! All in your head Carrie. You look beautiful and they look fabulous on you. Love the length, the fit, the wash. So now I’m editing my comment as every pair (except the wide legs which don’t look good on anyone) looked fabulous on you!! ♥️
With Levi's I recommend that you size down. What is tight today, will be loose(r) tomorrow. The jeans stretch as you wear them so you want them fairly tight when you purchase them. I won't admit how many jeans I own, I'm a bit of a denim collector, but I always come back to my Levi's 501 Original Fit.
The plus 724 jeans (straight leg) are great, I'm a UK 18 and sized down to a UK 16 in them. Amazon keeps having them crazy cheap too. £35 for Levis is a win.
Nothing will make you backtrack on positive thinking quicker than trying on Levi’s “standard sizing”
LITERALLY !!!!!!
Ayyye, there is like 2 whole sizes missing between 'standard' and 'plus'.
Last pair in right size….perfection!
Honestly! I tried on my first pair a couple weeks ago and just stood there in the dressing room with them around my thighs like ???? what is happening.
I went straight to American Eagle and got a curvy pair and felt better lmao
Wear the first jeans with high top converse ! Keep ! Most flattering eva❤

Still my favorite jeans❤
I'd go to a size 24 in the 501 jeans. They look the best on you😊

Very much so - I'm a non plus size and find they run small.
I absolutely love the first pair of jeans they look so flattering on you

As a tall woman, I hate the short jean trend so does my daughter who is the same height as I am.
@@marthamathildaI love them too
I agree, they all looked too big and baggy on her, I think she over estimates her size, she's smaller than 16.
You are absolutely radiant in this video 💗 I don't know if it's the hair, the top, or the makeup (but honestly it's probably just you😉) but honestly girl you popped off💅🏼
I would love to see the lower size part 2 to this asap! I am with you on your Levi journey!!
ME TOO! Her and I have the same body type I am just a 14ish size so this is so helpful to find a good pair of levis for myself. The search has been daunting. 😢
Agreed
The first dark wash ones look AMAZING ON YOU!!!!!!
You and/or your editor are cracking me up with all the funny jokes and edits within this vid!!! 😂
right??? so interesting😊 as far as i know she still does everything herself
The rib cage wide leg jeans are my holy grail jeans! I got my regular size which are tight at first but with some time they’re the perfect fit. I would definitely give this style another try!

Dude the second dark pair, soooo cute!!
The comedic editing, obsessed!
I am loving the electric blue eyeliner on you Carrie! It makes your eyes pop!
Okay but the way your blue eyeliner made your eyes POP 😍😍
Wide legs for the win! I’ve been giving praises to this cut of jeans since I bought them in 2020 it’s just great, looks good in everyone.
Girl, you are so pretty and your skin is absolutely glowing. ❤
The high rise jeans were GORGEOUS on you (the color especially) and also your editing is so funny the Debbie Ryan meme had me gagged💀
Thank you for doing the Lord’s work. 😊 I have a Levi’s store right beside my old work place and I like the style of the jeans but I just can’t bother trying on anything anymore.
Carrie the blue eyeliner is stunning
bruh, the first pair look insane as a mid rise, they look so trendy too!!! i absolutely love them on you
Literally stunning in this video. My first thought as soon as it started was “wow she is glowing!!”
the blue eyeliner is everything!!! 💙
The banngggsss! I love this! I love this fun little change and how cute they frame your face!
I love the blue eyeliner with jeans, so cute!
I loved the fit of the 501s and the ribcage wide leg jeans but definetely size down :)
I AM A MEMBER OF HIGH RISE NATION. 😂 God I love you and your hair in this vid is chefs kiss
The first jeans look BEAUTIFUL on you!! 💕💕 I have some levis that are like the same length, but I love them because I can wear cute boots with them! And they wont be covered by my jeans 🥰

I love how you make a Levi’s video when I just chucked out my only Levi’s jeans that I had, because I got Sharpie on them 😭
There is a product called Amodex that can get Sharpie out of most fabrics.
You look so pretty in that bright blue eyeliner!
Loved the dark wedge pants. So cute
Love the blue eyeliner! Thanks for another jeans review 💙
Thanks for the video ! I used to love Levi jeans but couldn’t wear them anymore because they didn’t carry plus sizes! Glad to see the new plus sizes! I honestly liked them all but obviously the last ones were too big!
Keep the “501”s!!!! They are perfect and you look stunning in them!
I like the 1st 2 pairs the best. The 1st pair isn't too short. 😊
I loved the second pair- I know they weren’t your typical style but they looked so good on you!
The editing in this video is iconic!!!!!

this make up look is sooooo good!

Sooo you need to buy the last pair and update us in a short or something cause they are SO cute!!

Second pair with red and white checkered shirt , ribbon in your hair with red vans would be so cute
