The First Skinny Jean I've Ever LOVED! SO Flattering & Perfect Fit!
Fabulous! I'm SO relieved! I NEVER wear skinny jeans because I tend to wear either actual leggings....or bootcut jeans and just never got on the "jeggings" and skinny-jean train. However....I wear tons of knee-high boots and although they paid easily with my collection of standard and fleece leggings....they are such a pain to wear with jeans. Always stuffing the legs down into the boots and trying to get it all even. UGH.
So finally, I decided to try some jeans that felt and functioned like legging....but were still real jeans. I chose Levi's because ever since my early 20's I find that they may not have tons of frills and bling....but their sizing is right on point for me no matter what the style. These are no different. I actually could have ordered a size smaller, but was unsure of how "skinny" would fit me since I don't wear them. I ordered the "tall" because normally "regular" in ANY pant is too short for me. These are a tiny bit longer than I expected....but fit perfectly from top to bottom. No pulling, bunching, or floppy areas. Most importantly, they didn't get looser as I wore them. They stayed fitted and tight from top to bottom. The color is VERY dark (they were sold out of the other shades and I'd have preferred slightly lighter) but I actually really like how they look and the color is growing on me.
I wore them to my family's house and my mother said that I looked like I had "lost weight". I don't know if I actually did lose weight or if these pants are incredibly slimming....but that's a bonus for sure! The "top panel for slimming" isn't really notable and I'm not sure how much it truly helps any more than a well-fitting higher cut pant of any type....but they are definitely high enough that there's NO tummy bulge or dreaded "muffin top". They don't slip down or fold over when you sit. The leg and butt area are super-comfortable and really flattering no matter what your body type and frankly....they've changed my mind about skinny jeans and flexible jeans in general. These are almost as comfortable as my standard, thin, barely-there leggings. And that's stunning to me because they are fully-functional jeans!
I really hope they stock more colors because I will be sticking with this style and brand and buying lighter colors for Summer and Spring styles the moment they're in stock. These are cut perfectly for high boots OR for dainty Summer Sandals and you can definitely wear them confidently with sheer Spring styles OR bulky Winter tunics. I absolutely love them so far!
*I will add photos and update because I know that can help someone who may have a similar body type as I do, but for now....I'm 5'7 and buy "tall" because I'm very long in the thigh area and leggy overall. But I have some pudge around my middle and range from 10 to 12 in fitted jeans/pants mostly because of my belly. My thighs and butt are mostly standard, but these would definitely flatter a curvier butt and thigh. I sized up to a 12 and think next time I'd probably get a 10 instead. So I would NOT buy whatever your "higher size" tends to be. They run very true to size and there is plenty of flex to avoid unsightly bulges*. Truly a "slimming, stays fitted" jean when finding those in ANY style is so rare. LOVE THEM and totally recommend!!
*****UPDATE FEBRUARY 24, 2017*******
As you can see, I added photos. I've worn these jeans so many times since posting this original review that I cannot even count. And whether casual or fancy, they have held their form (which is the biggest issue I find with both regular jeans as well as leggings). I've washed them, but not dried them (line-dry only) and they lost no form and continued to stay true especially in the waist, which is the area that I find even the most expensive jeans start to slag, fall, or fold. While it may not always be unflattering to others...it's always uncomfortable when that happens. I've not had that experience with these at all. There is no shrinkage in length (important to me since I'm long in the thick -->crotch area) and no other shrinkage I've noted. These are perfect for a tall-not-tall person like me who has weirdly-long legs....but isn't truly a "tall" (I think "talls" are 5'8 and above, but I'm 5'7 and cannot wear most "Regular" pants). The color also stayed true. And in dark jeans, that's unusual. I washed them in a "delicates" bag, but but them on normal Permanent Press and put other stuff in with them. The color didn't bleed and stain my other clothes and they fit just like the first time after line-drying.
Again...I sized up on these and would probably dry them in the dryer simply because they were bigger than I needed to begin with. But if you are not planning on heat-drying these (putting them on cool/tumble or line drying) there is no color bleed or shrinkage at all that I can detect. They still stay "high" on the waist and don't flop, fall, or fold after multiple wearings and still look good with heavy Winter sweaters or with delicate tops that show the waist on these pants. PLEASE start selling more colors of these for Summer and Spring. If you hate Skinny Jeans, Jeggings, Leggings, or even regular Jeans....these will be the pair that changes your mind! Absolutely buy these! They're amazing in every way!
My new favorite affordable Jean
Always on the hunt for a comfortable Jean that has the right fit. Waist height was perfect (didn’t go half way up my torso) and length was perfect. I’m short 5’3 and stout. So finding a Jean that fits over my butt but sinches my waist isn’t easy. These are comfortable with just the right amount of stretch to them.
fire?!??
love these jeans, the fit, the style…super cute and flattering was hesitant with the new design on the bottoms of the back of the jeans but the new design is very nice. These jeans are comfortable and cool. I cut slots in the knees just because i usually don’t like a full blue jean with absolutely no fray or holes. I am an adult mother however so I did keep the slits to a minimum and they only are visible when I bend the knee.
I am 34 years old, 5’5”, 135 lbs give or take a couple and i ordered a size 26 and they fit perfectly!
Finally they fit!
I did the try before you buy and first I ordered a size 7 and then returned for a 5 and they are perfect in all the right ways. Especially when it comes to Levi's, I strongly encourage you to use try before you buy because you likely won't get the right ones the first time around, just being honest.
AMAZING DENIM
I love these yes I had yogi up a size , let me tell you it’s so worth it! Hugs the curves has a bit of stretch! I highly recommend!!!
These jeans feel good and they look good
They are wonderful either dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with tee. Love these jeans
Fits well and is comfortable
Fits really nice. Stretches as it should. Works well even if you are a guy that wants a pair of jeans that actually fits really well
Comfortable but still skinny
At 5'2" 127 lbs the size 8 is reasonably comfortable on me. If I was 20 years younger I would have stuffed myself into a size 6 for a truly skinny all over fit. However, in my senior years comfort now trumps appearance. My fashion designer daughter in law (who recommended I try Levi's) says that straight fit jeans are more stylish now and I bought a pair of those too which look cute with waist length sweaters but she agreed that the skinny type would look better on me (think short and petite) with the longer length sweaters that I already own. These jeans are old fashioned well made and substantial and feel and appear like they should last as long as I can still fit into them. I was also surprised but pleased to see Levi's on several lists of eco friendly jean brands.
Love
These jeans are cute and true to size
Exactly what I wanted
Great fit, great price, super comfortable
