Rise refers to how high the jeans come up on your waist and hip. It is measured from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. Leg

To make these jeans wearable for me, I’d probably need to size down to 28 or even 27 to get the right silhouette for my body. And while it’s nice to have options — slim, skinny, original, athletic taper — it can be hard to choose the best fit for your body, especially if you haven’t tried them all on for yourself. If you want to be on trend, of course, the 501 originals are a good choice right now, in 2023. But don’t sleep on the 505s, which actually fit a little better as far as I can tell. Common Questions About Levi’s Jeans Let’s see how each pair looks, starting with the slimmest fit and working our way up: Levi’s 510 Skinny These are probably my number one overall choice, all things considered (style, comfort, etc.). Levi’s 512 Slim TaperThis metric refers to how the jeans sit around your waist and/or hips. Unlike the metrics above, this one can be categorize in one of just two ways (though there is slight variation from style to style): low and regular – though Levi’s does not specifically use these terms. Instead, they opt for more complicated descriptors. For instance, low is equivalent to “hangs on the hips,” whereas regular is “worn below the waist,”“sits low on the waist,” or has no qualifying description at all. This will also determine room in the crotch area, as low rise jeans tend to have less room than regular, as they can’t be hiked up as high – though some have compensated for this with a larger seat area. This metric is certainly the most difficult to define. Leg Opening It’s also necessary to understand what, exactly, the metrics mean when choosing jeans – be that from Levi’s or another denim brand. As such, we’d like to outline some of the terms that define the jeans, how you wear them, their look, and their feel. While the styles differ from number to number within Levi’s system (without any apparent rhyme or reason as to how they are numbered), you can always look to the following criteria to determine exactly what you’re getting out of any pair of Levi’s jeans.

Levi’s 512 Slim Taper

Growing up, a lot of the men I looked up to dressed well. My dad is always clean-shaven and makes sure that he looks presentable before heading out the door, and my grandfather, who owned and operated a dairy farm, usually wore work pants with a sharp crease and a button-up work shirt.” To men, these are pretty similar to 531 athletic slims but have a slightly better leg shape because they have more taper from the thigh down the ankle. Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper Jeans Leg opening refers to the circumference of the bottom of the pant leg. This measurement helps you determine how wide they will appear at the bottom. For example, a pair of women's skinny jeans typically have a leg opening of 10" to 12", while a pair of flared jeans measures 21" to 27".

Fit is the most important to look at because—as the name suggests— it gives you a feel for the overall fit of the jeans. Levi's typically uses three different fits: slim, regular, and relaxed.
