Shopping for a living, I’ve naturally developed a certain type of devotion toward specific brands. Vivaia is my one-stop-shop for comfortable heels, Leset’s basic tees have stolen my heart, Liverpool Los Angeles is my go-to for slacks that actually fit me, and I rely on Løci for top-rated sneakers. You get the point; I strive for the best of the best — and Kendall Jenner just wore my favorite jeans brand.
Jenner’s model-off-duty look included a gray ringer-neck tank top, slim shades, a black belt, and celebrity-worn Adidas Sambas — but we need to talk about her pants. First off, she totally broke a fashion rule by donning white after Labor Day, but I didn’t even care because she wore a pair of Levi’s 501s.
Levi’s 501 Original Fit Jeans
This exact style has been in rotation for 150 years, reigning as jeans king, IMO. The style reaches right above the waist, features a straight fit, and is completed with a button fly. Better yet, they’re currently on Amazon starting at $70. Sizes range from 24 to 34 and come in over 18 colors, such as Jenner’s white pair, plus gray, blue, and more.
I’ve been wearing this exact style for seven years, relying on its timeless fit for all of my outfits. I can confidently say Levi’s 501s are made to last; I still own my very first pair and they’re blemish-free. The back V-seam and higher-set pockets additionally give my booty a bit of extra lift, making them even more flattering. Best of all, they don’t stretch out. Instead, they keep their original fit — even after years of washing.
Jenner and I aren’t the only Levi’s fans. Sydney Sweeney told InStyle that she “loves” vintage Levi’s, while Jennifer Aniston thinks they’ll never go out of style. And even the younger Jenner sister, Kylie, is in full agreement, wearing the brand alongside a $3,400 blazer, only proving the bottoms’ versatility.
But things just got better. You can snag Jenner’s original fit or save up to 60 percent off a cropped or skinny version of the iconic 501s. Each style features the same coveted upper, but in shorter and slimmer variations. No matter which you go with, Levi’s 501s are sure to become a new staple in your wardrobe that you’ll wear over and over again. Just take me as proof.
