These Levi's have always been my favorite jeans, but they are hard to find in stores. I finally looked online and Amazon had the best price with free shipping. These jeans are very flattering to my figure. I'm 5'7 and 150 lbs, not a plus size, but not skinny either. Classic hourglass figure - I have a small waist and flat stomach, I carry most of my weight in my hips, butt and thighs. These jeans make my bottom half look smaller and make my booty look lifted and tighter. The flare opening seems more like a boot leg to me. I love how the waist band is tilted because it gives you a nice low rise in the front, but a higher rise in the back so you don't show crack when you bend over! I don't need a belt with these because they sit nicely on my hips with no gaping at the back. The low rise in front is stylish and sexy. These are great for my body type, but I don't think they would look good on someone with no hips or butt. You girls are lucky enough to be able to pull off skinny jeans instead! If you're not sure what size to order, order a size down because they have stretch in them and in my opinion, Levi's run a little bigger than most other brands. I wore these jeans yesterday and I got tons of compliments. I bought the "french press" color and they are a very pretty dark wash. I plan on ordering the other 2 colors when I'm done writing this review!
