How does the 318 differ from other Levi's wide-leg jeans?

It uses Stellar Stretch denim with a built-in front panel for smoothing and support. That shaping panel is the main difference from a standard wide-leg cut.

Does the stretch stretch out during the day?

Levi's builds in recovery so the denim springs back, and buyers say it holds its shape without sagging. Some stretch is expected in a supersoft fabric.

The regular inseam is about 32 inches. That is long for shorter shoppers, who may need to hem them.

How should I choose a size?

Reviews split between running large and true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Are they good for petite frames?

Some petite buyers find the wide leg and length overwhelming. Hemming helps with length, but the leg stays full.
