Levi Strauss Signature Gold Women's '03 Essential Mid Rise Skinny Jeans

These are almost stretchy jeans. I really like them though. They are soft and comfortable. Oh, and cute.

Good product

Although these are supposed to be midrise and I ordered short, the top of the waistband is right below my ribs. I am short waisted, but, midrise jeans usually don’t have as long a rise. They have enough stretch to be forgiving on my not so tiny tummy and still fit right all the way down. Length is perfect- just below the ankle. My problem with jeans always was that I have very narrow hips and pretty regular legs, for my height. Basically a boyish figure. But, now I have a bit of a fat tummy. I look normal everywhere else, like a pregnant woman. So, my belly is bigger than my hips now. I’m glad I bought these. The fit is comfortable everywhere. They conform to my legs but don’t squish my belly. With the right shirts to disguise my tummy a little, they look nice. Material is thinner than regular jeans, a little thicker than jeggings. Hopefully, when this pandemic is over, I can lose some weight. But, for my figure now, these are great. Also, they keep their shape, not all baggy by the end of the day.

Do not go by the Amazon-page posted size chart or the Levi one in the image array when you place your order. You're going to have to make your best guess between the two as they are both off by a couple of inches (in waist, hip, and length). This confusing issue with two different sizing charts was at the time of my purchase. It is possible this information could change in the future. For now, this is my experience. Assume the numbers the post has listed are short (27), medium (29), and tall (31). These numbers don't accurately reflect the actual length of the jeans. For example, because I was so confused about the sizing information and lost weight in recent months, I ordered two sizes, both the same length. I opted for the 31 as I have a 31-inch inseam, thinking that is what I would get. Now, everyone is physically different. I've known men who were 6 feet tall who have a 31-inch inseam and super short people who somehow have a 33. To clarify, I'm hovering at 5ft4in, weight ~140lbs, with ~30-inch waist with 33-34-inch hips and, as I said, a 31-inch inseam. I have more butt than I do a gut, full thighs (no gap), and an hourglass shape (equal shoulder to hip ratio with a slimmer waste). While others give some details about their proportions to help guide others to a size that might work, they neglect to mention other things like their actual inseam, waist, weight, or body type. I order two colorways (darker wash story-sky and lighter harmony) in two sizes (4 pairs of jeans total) in 10 and 12. I selected the 31 on the Amazon page, thinking I'd get 31-inseam. No. Again, very confusing information regarding inseam ordering. Both the 10 and 12 fit, but I opted to keep the Harmony 12 since these are skin-tight jeans and somehow fit better than the darker wash in the same size. My only real issue is with the length. I received two pairs in 10L 30x32 and two pairs in 12L 31x32. So the 31 on the sale post means 32 long. Why they have them listed: 27, 29, and 31 makes no sense to me. Just assume the 27 means short, the 29 means medium, and the 31 means long regardless of the number. They don't represent the actual length. Again, I requested the 31 and got 32, which doesn't even match what the image sizing Levi provided. Had it, I would have ended up with a 30x34, as 34 is their long measurement. I was only able to keep one pair out of the four I ordered. The lighter of the two shades in the 12Lx32 fit better than the darker wash. I returned the rest and retried ordering using their wacky method. This time I opted for the 29. I got the 30x31 this time around. It is like jeans-lotto. At least I know what my overall size is. Even though it too didn't match either sizing chart. The one on the sales page says 10 = 32.25in waist, and 12 = 31.50in waist, which is obviously a mistake, and on the Levi sizing chart, 10=32.25 and 12=33.5. My 12L was 31Wx32L. I have no clue who to trust or which chart I can go by. So I just went for the next size down (29) and crossed my fingers. Thankfully, they fit. The jeans themselves are like wearing a stretchy corset but for my legs and butt. I look fantastic in these jeans. They are something of a labor to get in and out of if you're not accustomed to wearing skinny jeans. I'm certainly not. I tend to lean to boot cut, but I have some cute sweaters and wanted something with a flat front I could wear them with. There are no buckles, buttons, zippers, belt loops, or even pockets on some of the jeans. Your sweater or shirt will lay flat and not get rubbed by a protruding button or hard edge corner where your jeans meet, assuming you get the jeggings style. These are completely flat and make your tummy appear flatter with the design. The pockets on the front are fake, unless you get the pants with the loops. Some of those have pockets. Ladies are pretty much used to having near non-existing pockets anyway. Which sucks. But for this style of jeans, it makes sense. The two back pockets are generous in size. I have a place for my phone. These are incredibly stretchy and form-fitting. The material feels good, though I'm not sure how it'll hold up after they're washed a few times. I can only hope they keep their shape.

Good

I hate shopping for jeans. I don't know anyone who doesn't. So when my beloved jeans (but more on this later) ripped, I gnashed my teeth, and went to Kohls, where I have shopped for years. At 37, I'm far too old for the juniors section, but that's where I've been getting my jeans for years (nay, decades) and I have too much going on to switch things up now. But none of the jeans fit, they were all oddly shaped, and they were all pre-distressed. I wanted non-distressed jeans. I was sick with a headcold, busy, and about out of patience when I just searched for skinny jeans here on Amazon. And found these. I thought "Why the heck not?" and ordered a pair. Well. They're perfect. They flatter me far (FAR) better than the stupid Kohl's juniors jeggings. They're not so tight, but still have enough stretch that they don't feel like Carharts. The rise is higher than a low-rise jegging and you know what? THAT HELPS SO MUCH! I'm a two-time mom by C-section, and the mid-rise (halfway between my belly button and my hip) is the perfect compromise between being comfortable but not being 80s mom high-rise jeans. I feel lovely in these jeans. I had no idea that was possible. They also fit just a tiny bit bigger than expected, which is always a little (stupid, unmerited, illogical) confidence boost. I'm 5'2" and weigh in the neighborhood of 140 pounds, and the 8 fits perfectly. I really can't say enough lovely things about these jeans.

I have purchased this same set of pants in 3 different washes: Bae, Mascara/Dark, and Immaculate. I first got the Immaculate with the shortest inseam. I'm 5'2' and the length was perfect! It's not an ankle fit, and the waist hit me at a good spot just below the belly button. I wore them, I was happy as it was everything I wanted in skinny jeans: hugged from waist down to my ankles, just enough stretch to be extremely comfy but not becoming baggy. I then ordered the pants in Bae and Mascara/Dark I liked the fit so much. I washed them and the color remained the same, another win. As I wear them and wash only as necessary, the pants have become loose. The skinny is not so skinny and looks stretched. It's at least one size bigger now :/ The Mascara/Dark wash is pretty much the same color as Bae, and fits at least one size big, it's not a true skinny at all. The Bae wash fits snugger than the Immaculate wash and the fabric seems stiffer too, not in a bad way. Almost as if it's been starched if that makes sense. The Bae wash has kept it's shape and is perfect. I hope it stays that way. Overall, it's a hit and miss with these pants.

These are made of a very soft & stretchy denim ( a lot like jeggings but it’s thicker denim fabric with more support). They are a mid-rise fit right at or just above the belly button and are ankle length. I am 5’4 - 115 lbs and ordered the size 4 - 30 length. They fit really well when I first tried them on. Stretched in all the right places without being too tight. They were a little loose around the ankles. However after wearing them just one night I noticed they were a little loose and started to bag in certain areas. Which meant I probably should’ve sized down and ordered the 2 because of the stretchy-ness. I still love them though! The dark blue dye in the immaculate waters is perfect to wear to work on casual Fridays and the pockets have a nice contrasting stitch. I think I will definitely order another pair in a different color and also try a bootcut in Levi’s signatures. It is hard to find a good fit in jeans especially online.

Ce jeans est parfait! Il est confortable, true to size et j’adore que les options de longueurs soient offertes! Très bonne qualité à prix abordable.

Look no further. This is the one you're looking for. It's the best pair of jeans I've ever owned. It's very comfortable and flattering, with the right amount of stretch. I've owned it for more than 6 months, washed it at least once a week, and it's still as good as new. I love it so much that I'll be buying a second pair soon, just for keeps, in case anything ever happens to this.

These jeans have a ton of stretch. They look just as pictured and fit perfectly. I am 5'5 & 165 pounds (31 waist & 41 hips). Ordered a 10 and they fit amazing! The stretch & softness makes them so comfortable.

Ces jeans achetés en ligne sont une merveille. Ça fait longtemps que je n’ai pas été aussi contente d’un vêtement acheté dans l’avoir essayé! La taille est parfaite ( il faut dire que je me suis mesurée et que j’ai suivi le tableau des tailles… c’est ma taille habituelle), la couleur est riche et ne déteint quasiment pas même après plusieurs lavages, les jeans sont confortables, souples et doux. La taille est juste assez haute pour ne pas faire de bourrelets. Ils sont tellement passe-partout que je les porte tout le temps: travail, fin de semaine, courses.. Les coutures résistent bien , la braguette et le bouton aussi. Seul petit point qui pourrait être négatif: si vous avez de très gros mollets, peut-être que les jeans seront trop serrés. Mais pour moi ce n’est pas un problème.

Angegeben Grössen stimmen gar nicht ... und meine Jeans kam & ging wieder nach Las Vegas... nach / von DE .. geht der Umwelt zu liebe überhaupt nicht! ... und ich bin nun wirklich kein "ÖKO" ... aber sowas ist absurt!
