Introduction

Levi’s ® is famous for its three digit style numbers, but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. Use the list and descriptions below to learn which Levi’s ® number is right for you. The best part is that when you find a Levi’s jean you like, you can always ask for it by the Levi’s number to get the same fit in the future.

In general, the three digit Levi’s style number will indicate the fit of the jean and will be consistent across all the Levi’s ® jeans with that number. However, in women’s, both juniors and misses, the three digit number may only refer to the “top block” of the jean, that is the rise of the jean and its fit in the seat and thigh. Sometimes the leg opening and silhouette can be different in women’s styles, even when the three digit number is the same.

Men’s Levi’s ® Jeans

501 ® – Original fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 17” leg opening. Sits at the waist.
The Levi’s ® 501 ® jean is where it all begins. It has been altered slightly over the years to accommodate trends, but remains largely unchanged from its original inception. It is a great jean for every occasion and fits well on most men with average to slim builds.

501 ® Shrink-to-Fit ® – Original fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 17” leg opening. Sits at the waist.
The Levi’s ® 501 ® shrink-to-fit jean is the original “raw” denim jean. An American classic, its popularity around the world is unmatched by another other jean. There is a trend today to buy them in true size and dry clean them or not wash them at all in order to keep the denim original rigid appearance. However, if you are going to wash them, you will need to buy them 1 to 3 inches bigger in the waist and 3 to 4 inches bigger in length than your normal size. They will shrink to your size after washing. For more information on sizing, see our 501 ® shrink-to-fit sizing chart.

505 ® Regular fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 16.5” leg opening. Fits at waist.
The Levi’s ® 505 ® jean is a great choice for someone who wants a 501®, but prefers a zip fly. However, they are not exactly the same. The 505 ® has a slightly smaller leg opening and a slightly higher rise. They are also a little slimmer, but they are not a tight jean for most people.

514 ™ Straight – Sits below waist. Straight leg. 17” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 514 ™ Straight jean features a slim fit, but it is not a skinny jean. We have seen many people who have worn 501s for years have converted to the 514 ™. It also is a good alternative for someone looking for today’s slimmer look, but does not want the look of a skinny jean.

511 ™ Slim Fit – Sits below waist. Slightly tapered leg. 14.5” leg opening.
They’re back! The Levi’s ® 511 ™ Slim jean captures the slim tapered look. It is a very popular trend these days and has become a standard jean for today’s teens and younger denim buyers. Many buy them a bit longer and “stack” them against their footwear. For the sleekest look, buy them at your true inseam length. Most 511 ™ finishes feature wider belt loops and open shank button.

510 ™ Skinny – Sits below waist. Slim fit. Skinny leg. 13.5” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 510 ™ Skinny jean is for those looking for the quintessential skater/rocker look. It has the skinniest leg and smallest leg opening of the Levi’s ® cannon. All 510s feature stretch elements (usually 2% spandex) that help preserve the skinny jean look at all times.

527 ™ Slim Boot Cut- Regular seat and thigh. Sits below waist. Bootcut Leg. 18.25” leg opening.
Originally known as the Low Rise Boot Cut Jean, the Levi’s ® 527 ™ is essentially an updated take on the classic 517 ™ Boot Cut. The wide leg opening is not considered a “bell bottom” and doesn’t fall like one. The opening is wider than the leg to allow for easy wear with boots, but the jeans are often worn with all footwear and look great with sneakers.

569 ™ Loose Straight – Sits below waist. Loose seat and thigh. Straight leg. 18.5” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 569 ™ Loose Straight provides the baggy look of the Levi’s ® line. Its leg opening is a little wider than the 527 ™ Boot Cut’s leg opening, but the rest of the leg is just wide providing the loose fit. It can be worn with any footwear and is great for anyone who wants a lot of room to move in their jeans.

559 ™ Relaxed Straight – Sits below waist. Relaxed seat and thigh. 18” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 559 ™ is for someone looking for a looser fit, but isn’t going for all out baggy look. It makes for a very good basic work jean, as the extra room provides the comfort while bending or crouching. If you’re not into the slimmer looks and want a looser, but not sloppy jean, the Levi’s ® 559 ™ is for you.

517 ™ Boot Cut – Slim fit. Fits at waist. Boot cut leg. 18.25” leg opening.
Fits at waist. These are the old school boot jeans. One of Levi’s ® oldest fits besides the 501 ™, the 517 ™ is probably the most classic “western” fit in the Levi’s ® line. They are also a great option for someone looking to join in today’s slimmer denim trends, but also wants to wear them with cowboy boots or any other footwear.

550 ™ Relaxed – Relaxed fit. Relaxed seat and thigh. Slightly tapered leg. 16.5” leg opening. Sits at waist.
The 550 ™ has been a staple of the Levi’s ® line for a few decades now. Its main feature is its tapered leg, making it a perfect for choice for someone looking for a comfortable and clean look. You’re usually going to want to buy these jeans close to your true inseam. Boots or other tall shoes are usually not a good option with the 550 ™. Most stick with casual shoes and sneakers.

560 ™ Comfort Fit – Comfort fit. Loose overall fit and loose seat and thigh. Tapered leg. 16” leg opening. Sits at waist.
The Levi’s ® 560 ™ jean is great for anyone needing extra room. The tapered leg and normal rise help keep the 560 ™ from being just another baggy jean. It’s another good way to get a comfortable jean on larger builds without going baggy.

535 ™ Legging – Super Skinny. 8″ front rise. 12 3/4″ back rise. Ultra Stretch Fabric. Slim fitted jean legging with 5-pocket styling.
