There aren't many clothing items that both my dad and I own, but that's just how iconic and versatile Levi's 501 jeans are. The closet staple has been beloved since 1873—no, that's not a typo. But now, the brand is launching a newly revamped style called the 501 '90s Jeans ($98), and I have a feeling they'll also be a huge hit.
As you already guessed, the jeans are inspired by the 1990s, "when celebrities and style icons famously wore their 501s a bit looser, with a relaxed, slouchy vibe," Levi's said in a statement. None other than Hailey Bieber fronts the campaign for the jeans, which launched on December 1 and are bound to sell out lickety-split. Scroll down to see them on Bieber and to shop the $98 jeans for yourself.
