We're celebrating the 148th anniversary of the original blue jeans that wowed movie stars and presidents alike with a guide to wearing them in style.

There are few pleasures in life like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/history-of-jeans-cowboys-levis-james-dean-marlon-brando-marilyn-monroe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jeans</a> that perfectly hug the curves of the body, never lose their shape, survive passing trends, and stand the test of time (in both charm and quality). When Levi Strauss gifted the world with the first ultra-resistant pair of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ways-to-style-patchwork-denim-trend-tom-ford" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denim</a> in 1873 (originally designed for laborers), he never imagined that in 148 years his legacy would be reinvented, adapted, and most of all, rebuilt in unimaginable ways.
That's why the brand commemorates its anniversary with the stories of seven young stars: <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-osaka-tag-heuer-interview-tennis-activism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Osaka</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-birthday-street-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/emma-chamberlain-christmas-holiday-fail-youtube" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emma Chamberlain</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/save-the-date/indya-moore-barbie-ferreira-interview-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie Ferreira</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jaden-smith-is-teaming-up-with-g-star-on-sustainable-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jaden Smith</a>, Marcus Rashford MBE, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who express their own preferred styling of their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/miu-miu-levis-collab-jeans-denim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Levi's</a> 501s.

Levi's 501s remind us of the days when things were built to last, and now they write a new <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/prada-launches-sustainable-organic-eco-denim-pre-fall-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability</a> dialogue. The modern construction of this model is done with Levi's Water Less, which uses 96% less water than a typical denim finish. In addition, at Levi's Tailor Shop, you can repair any damage that has occurred over time, prolonging their lifespan. But even better, if you ever manage to find a used pair in a vintage store, you will have in your hands an authentic jewel of fashion.
To get to most out of your denim, L'OFFICIEL shares the style keys to style your Levi's, fashion's indispensable wild card.

Oversized Blazer

Currently, the XL <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-blazers-celebrity-kaia-gerber-hailey-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blazers</a> that were popular in the '<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/80s-hairstyles-for-2021-trends-mullet-curly-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">80s</a> are back and the best way to adopt them is with a pair of Levi's 501. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/andy-warhol-creator-american-dream-remembering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Warhol</a> was the first to do this combination, and today it's an effortless go-to look.

White Shirt

Along with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/skinny-jeans-are-dead-denim-trends-of-old-are-taking-over">jeans</a>, simple white shirts have become essential basics of any wardrobe. To elevate a casual look, jeans and a white t-shirt are an unbeatable combo.

Hoodie

A more urban and comfortable essence with an oversized hoodie (and perhaps with a jacket over it) can achieve an interesting set of layers.&nbsp;

High Heels

The rules that once imprisoned us have been erased. Today, a cropped pair of Levi's 501s look effortlessly chic when styled with a set of stylish <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/prada-spring-summer-2021-pumps-post-pandemic-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pumps</a>.

Baseball Cap

Always ahead of the trends, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/princess-diana-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> sported this look long before it was as popular as it is today. Now, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/designer-baseball-caps-celine-kaia-gerber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baseball caps</a> are the perfect versatile piece to complete any casual outfit.&nbsp;

Denim on Denim

This once controversial formula now carries the western essence with pride. A <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-jackets-for-women-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denim jacket</a> and yous Levi's 501s are all you need.

Vintage T-shirt and Black Boots

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/graphic-tshirt-history-band-merch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vintage shirt</a> went from a basic to an icon, capable of keeping a sporty look just on the edge between casual and formal. Paired with black <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jennifer-lopez-combat-boots-dress-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">combat boots</a> and your jeans, you can build a seemingly effortless look.
