Levi's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans vs San Diego High Rise Stretch Skinny Jeans

The Levi's 314 is the better pick if you want a straight leg with a mid rise and a tummy-slimming panel that reads as everyday denim. The San Diego Sculpting jean is the stronger choice for a high-rise skinny look with dart shaping and more color options. Reviewers rate the San Diego slightly higher (4.6 vs 4.4), but the Levi's has far more ratings behind it and a longer 32-inch inseam. Build quality is close; both rely on stretch blends, and the Levi's denim is the more established fabric.

• Choose the Levi's 314 if you want a straight-leg, mid-rise jean with tummy-slimming shaping and a full 32-inch inseam.
• Choose the San Diego Sculpting if you want a high-rise skinny with dart shaping, medium stretch and a choice of three washes.
