The Internet practically exploded when news hit of Levi's new Wedgie jeans—a pair inspired by the brand's classic '60s 505 vintage offering that makes use of strategically placed seams to flatter, lift, and show off your bum. I was immediately intrigued. But, truth be told, I'd barely even tried a pair of Levi's on, save for a depressing experience in the flagship dressing room. I could wiggle them to just below my butt before giving up.
I'm certainly a jeans and a tee type of girl, it's a combination that feels the most like me. But over the years my penchant for casual-cool clothing has turned into somewhat of a stagnant uniform. I spent years solely wearing stretchy, high-waisted skinny jeans because that was the only thing that fit comfortably. Now, let me be clear. I know that my particular body is not the only shape that has difficulty—not by a long shot. But somewhere along the line there became this divide in fashion and fit, where you're either meant to slip into a sample or shop plus size. Which is why the launch of these jeans felt really important.
