Levi's Classic Straight Plus Size Jeans vs Terra & Sky Plus Size Straight Jeans

The Levi's Classic Straight is the safer pick for most shoppers: a true mid-rise straight leg in a stretch cotton-viscose blend with built-in recovery, and 4,500 ratings averaging 4.2. The Terra & Sky is a high-rise straight in a heavier 98% cotton, 2% spandex denim, rated slightly higher at 4.4 from fewer ratings. Levi's wins on fabric engineering and size range; Terra & Sky wins on rise height and a more rigid, structured denim feel. Owners of the Levi's praise the soft stretch and shape retention but complain about shallow front pockets and inconsistent sizing.

• Choose the Levi's Classic Straight if you want a mid-rise, soft-stretch straight leg with shape recovery and a wide run of waist sizes.
• Choose the Terra & Sky Straight High Rise if you prefer a high rise and a firmer, mostly-cotton denim with a banded waist.
