When it comes to a wardrobe that stands the test of time, well-made, figure-flattering jeans are essential. Whether you're wearing them for a low-key date night or running errands, comfortable jeans that fit like a dream just work because they're so versatile. You can dress them up with heels, jewelry and the right makeup, or keep them casual with sneakers and a simple T-shirt or sweater.
Levi's has been in the business of making high-quality jeans for over 100 years, and it's safe to say that the iconic brand has perfected the art. Regular shoppers (myself included!) give its denim rave reviews, but Levi's also has a host of famous fans including Pamela Anderson, Beyonce and Blake Lively. Curious about which styles A-listers trust for strutting their stuff? We rounded them up below, and good news — they're all under $100.
Back in 2024, Pamela Anderson gave us a masterclass in denim-on-denim dressing when she paired classic Levi's 501s with a denim shirt. She finished the 'fit with a blazer and heels, proving that, yes, the Canadian tuxedo can be totally chic.
Fun fact: Levi Strauss introduced these timeless jeans back in 1873. They've been refined and perfected over the years, so it's no surprise that shoppers give them rave reviews. In addition to shades of blue, this summer's selection includes a crisp white style and a pretty pink pair.
Available with and without stretch, these classic shorts never go out of style and are durable enough to wear summer after summer. There are more than 10 washes to choose from, and the 2.5-inch inseam is stylishly short without being booty-bearing.
"There are no other shorts like this on the market! I have tried so many brands and styles and always come back to this! Levi's has perfected these jean shorts," one customer declared.
Another added, "They're so comfy they became my go-to shorts for spring and summer!"
If you like the idea of a really high-waist jean that holds you in, this is the one to try. It has the slightest hint of stretch and a slim fit through the hips and thighs. Choose from 10 colors and three inseams in waist sizes 23-34.
"Love the fit and thickness of the material. Even more so that it's actually high-waisted on me as I have a longer torso than most. Starts off a little snug but once worn in, it fits great!" one wearer reported.
These roomy bottoms come in two washes and two inseams straight from Levi's, but Amazon has a (much) larger color selection — and some of 'em are on sale.
"Perfect," is how one Amazon customer described these throwbacks. "They are so comfortable."
"I am always hesitant to buy pants online, but these fit me perfectly," another added. "These are the perfect snugness around the waist with good bagginess through the legs. I wear these multiple times throughout the week and they've held up well."
Available in four washes from Levi's, this cute denim mini is made from 100% cotton and has a comfortable mid-rise fit. You'll find even more color options at Amazon.
"Super cute and goes with everything," one shopper noted.
Another declared, "It is the *PERFECT* denim skirt."
If you're someone who runs cold, a denim jacket is a great top layer to keep handy. This beloved Levi's style is available in 11 colors in sizes XS-4X. Note that it's designed to be oversized, so if you prefer a slightly less slouchy fit, consider sizing down.
Designed to frame, flatter and lift the booty, these straight-leg jeans have a high rise and are fitted through the hips and thighs. Shoppers say finding the right size can be tricky, but many love the style once they've found it.
"Best jeans ever! I'll never buy other jeans now," one convert shared.
Another commented, "Love Levi's but often struggled with fit. These are absolutely perfect for me. I now have three pairs in different colors."
Queen Bey doesn't just sing about Levi's jeans; she actually wears them. She recently modeled a pair of leg-baring 501 denim shorts that should be a staple in any warm-weather wardrobe.
Olivia Rodrigo likes the Levi's Ribcage Straight Jeans so much that she was spotted wearing them not once, but twice last year. Yahoo Senior Home and Garden Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder is also a fan. "In my opinion, these are the perfect wide (but not too wide) jeans," she says. "They feel timeless and also trendy, which is pretty impressive!"
The perfect not-too-constricting jeans to run around town in? The Levi's 94 Baggy style that Hilary Duff was spotted in earlier this year. She paired them with rain boots and a cashmere sweater, but they look just as good with sneakers and a tee. Or, consider dressing them up with heels and silky tank top.
Like Pamela Anderson, Blake Lively also makes a convincing case for adding a pair of iconic Levi's 501 jeans to your collection. She wore them back in December for a night out, proving denim can definitely be dressed up with the right accessories.
Way back in 2016, Rihanna stepped out wearing a Levi's denim skirt and a matching jean jacket. Nearly a decade later, her look is still fab and totally worth recreating on your own. Sadly, Riri's OG skirt is no longer available, but you can't go wrong with the brand's Icon Skirt.
Your wardrobe isn't complete without a denim jacket, so take a cue from Hailey Bieber and snag the oversized trucker style she wore in a 2021 Levi's campaign. It's a great year-round piece that you can wear over a tee in the warmer months and over a sweater when the temps drop.
The stylish jeans Emma Roberts wore to channel some serious French "it girl" vibes back in 2024? The uber-flattering (and sometime controversial) Wedgie cut.
