Levi's Classic Straight Women's Jeans vs Levi's 501 '90s Jeans

Both are Levi's straight-leg jeans with a '90s feel, but they wear very differently. The Classic Straight has stretch denim (about 1% elastane), a zip fly and an easy fit through the hip and thigh, so it suits shoppers who want comfort and give. The 501 '90s is 100% rigid cotton with a button fly and a looser, boxier cut, so it suits shoppers who want authentic vintage denim that holds its shape. The Classic Straight has far more owner feedback and a slightly higher rating; the 501 '90s has a small review base, so judge it on the rigid denim and cut rather than the score.

• Choose the Levi's Classic Straight if you want stretch denim, a zip fly and a relaxed fit that moves with you for everyday wear.
• Choose the Levi's 501 '90s if you want rigid 100% cotton denim, a button fly and a looser, true-to-the-decade vintage cut.
