I’m not lying when I say that buying denim from Levi’s really changed my entire perspective towards jean-shopping. Their jeggings are amazing. I’m not even kidding. When I tried on a pair when shopping during winter break and it was like heaven opened up and God himself proclaimed: “thou shalt buy these.” The fabric was nice and thick and the fit was perfect. Yes, I know that everyone’s requirements for jeans are different, but keep in mind that these are jeggings. Jeggings are more forgiving with regards to fit than regular jeans as they generally have a higher spandex content, allowing for more flexibility in the fabric to suit a wider range of body types. In addition, for those of you who are sick of ultra-low rise jeans, these jeggings fall just below the bellybutton, streamlining your hip and waist area. As if that weren’t enough, you can’t even tell the difference between them and normal skinny jeans because Levi’s jeggings are not just some glorified version of a legging with a denim print. In short: try them, you won’t regret it.
Price-wise, Levi’s is a bit more expensive than the usual high-school shopper’s budget (the pair I bought was around $70). However, I must point out that being a smart shopper means knowing when to save and when to splurge; now, I have realized that jeans are definitely a splurge item. I used to put jeans in the “save” category, and as a result, I have had more than my fair share of ill-fitting and bad quality jeans. I didn’t think much of it then, but now, after having tried the denim from Levi’s, I never want to go back to wearing my old jeans. So, if you’re like me and your “save” mentality frequently trumps your “splurge” mentality, convince yourself that jeans are definitely worth the extra cash! Save a little on the makeup, or think twice before you buy that pair of purple flats that only goes with one outfit in your closet. Don’t sell yourself cheap when it comes to jeans!
