Abercrombie Curve Love vs. Levi’s Curve
Which Curve Fit Actually Fits Better?
If there is one thing I will forever be picky about, it is denim. A great pair of jeans can literally change your whole outfit and your confidence. I’ve worn both Abercrombie Curve Love and Levi’s Curve styles for years, so I wanted to put them side by side to show the real differences in fit, comfort, and overall vibe. In the photo above, I’m wearing Abercrombie Curve Love on the left and Levi’s Curve on the right, both in my true size.
Below is everything you need to know before you choose your next pair.
Fit and Shape
Abercrombie Curve Love
Abercrombie’s Curve Love line gives extra room through the hips and booty while keeping the waist more cinched. You can see it in the photo. The back seam curves in nicely, and the fabric molds to your shape without squeezing. These feel intentionally designed for an hourglass fit.
More room through the hips and thighs
Snug, defined waist
Very sculpting, flattering from behind
Minimal gapping
Levi’s Curve
Levi’s Curve also adds more space in the hips, but the fit is more traditional and less sculpted. The denim holds its structure and gives that classic Levi’s shape. On me, they fit more straight through the leg and do not hug the waist as dramatically.
More subtle curve fit
Structured, vintage-style denim
Slightly more room at the waistband compared to Abercrombie
Gives a more relaxed, classic Levi’s vibe
Rise and Waist Feel
Abercrombie Curve Love
Abercrombie tends to have a slightly higher rise that stays put when you move. The waistband feels secure and snug, which helps create that smooth, cinched silhouette. If you struggle with waist gapping, Abercrombie almost always fixes it.
Levi’s Curve
Levi’s rise will depend on the specific style, but overall the waist fits a bit straighter and more relaxed. If you like more of a traditional denim feel that doesn’t hug as tightly, Levi’s will give you that timeless, lived-in fit. If your waist is significantly smaller than your hips, you may still get a hint of gapping.
Fabric and Comfort
Abercrombie Curve Love
Most Curve Love jeans use a comfort-stretch denim that moves with you but still holds shape. They feel soft right away and have that broken-in comfort from day one. This is the pair you’ll reach for if you want something comfortable for all-day wear.
Levi’s Curve
Levi’s Curve is made from a sturdier, classic cotton denim. Some washes have very little stretch, so they take a little time to soften and mold to your body. Once they do, they give that authentic vintage fit that Levi’s is known for. They feel more structured and less stretchy.
Sizing
Abercrombie Curve Love
True to size for most people. If you are between sizes, you can size down because of the stretch and the way the waist is cut. Curve Love was designed to solve the waist-gap problem, and it does.
Levi’s Curve
Levi’s Curve typically fits true to size in structured denim. If the pair has minimal stretch, do not size down. You may even prefer your larger size if you want a relaxed straight-leg look. These jeans ease up as you wear them but do not stretch dramatically.
Overall Vibe
Abercrombie Curve Love
Polished
Feminine silhouette
Smooth, sculpted fit
Soft, comfortable denim
Great for everyday, casual to semi-dressed-up outfits
Levi’s Curve
Classic
Cool, vintage-inspired
More relaxed through the waist
Traditional denim look and feel
Perfect for effortless, lived-in style
Which One Should You Choose?
If you want a snatched waist, sculpted fit, and comfortable stretch, choose Abercrombie Curve Love.
If you love structured denim, straight-leg silhouettes, and a more vintage feel, choose Levi’s Curve.
Both are great for different reasons, but they serve two totally different denim moods. Abercrombie is your flattering, modern girl. Levi’s is your timeless, classic girl.
