women's 501® jeans

For everyday wear, the mid-rise is often considered the most comfortable and versatile option. Sitting just below the natural curve of your waist, it's a universal favorite. High-rise jeans sit above your natural waist, creating a flattering silhouette that many find secure and comfortable. Low-rise jeans sit lower on your waist, closer to your hips, offering a relaxed, casual feel.

Choosing the most flattering jean fit is all about celebrating your unique shape and expressing your authentic style. There's no single “best” fit — but if we had to pick, our 501® Original and 501® Curve are two of our most popular styles that fit most body types.

Our women's jeans typically run true to size, with a focus on consistent and reliable fits across styles. When a particular fit runs differently, this will be noted in our product details. Customer reviews are also a helpful resource for real-world feedback on how a style fits.

Our 501® Original is one of the most iconic fits for both men and women. Worn and loved by generations, it's epitomized timeless style and effortless cool since 1873. With its straight-leg fit and signature button fly, the 501® Original remains a versatile, durable and endlessly relevant staple you can truly live in.

Both offer unique benefits. Stretch jeans provide immediate comfort from the first wear, thanks to elastane that allows the fabric to move with your body. 100% cotton jeans start out more structured and rigid, but grow more comfortable over time as they break in and mold to your body, creating a uniquely personalized fit.
