The best jeans I have bought in many years. I am a big fan of the 300 line, be it the straight or bootcut ones. When I saw the 318s online, I was intrigued. Bought myself a pair, and as soon as I had tried them on, bought a couple more. I have never received so many compliments about an outfit before, and I have to say, I haven't felt that good wearing a piece of clothing in a long time. The pros: these jeans make your tummy look flat, your butt perkier, your legs longer. I wear them with trainers and fitted t-shirts for a casual look, or pointy slingbacks and a white shirt for a more smart look, with some jewellery to funk it up. I feel very comfortable all day in them, and just love them for their versatility. Cons: there just one. I know that Levi's recommend washing them after 10 wears or more, but when you are around children, that's not possible. And for the past year or so, I have notice that the colours wash out faster than they used to, which is really annoying. And the 300 lines cannot be bought in shops, so when I want to try them, or people around me want some, it's not always an option for them to go online as they don't want to go through the rigmarole of sending them back if they don't fit.

These jeans are fabulous. I have the entire 300 series because I love the gentle shaping. But these are my new favorite jean, hands down.
