Hi all
I shopped for some levis jeans yesterday and hated the way it fit
ill post pics in a sec
These are 505 fit
I think they just look huge and unflattering
Well they're too long and you aren't wearing shoes for them to break on
I think it's fine but like Yurt said, you really need shoes on to get the best impact
You could always buy, take it home, try it on a variety of different shoes and return if it's not to your liking thereafter
These are a 508? I think altheltic taper
I was trying to avoid a taper
I think these fit much better through the seat?
Also these are like a 36 and the ones I tried were a 40, but for some reason these fit in a 36 lol
Vanity sizing, wearing the waist in the wrong place
Tagged sizes are weird
They are both Levi’s
Waist in wrong place?
Tbh I do wear my pants at my belly button
Always have
These look sagged, and I bet would fit fine with shoes like others have said.
What is sagged
like wearing a bit low
but maybe not if you said you wear nea rbelly button
Yeah no there were on right
I would avoid the tapered cuts
if 505s dont work, maybe 550s, they're a bit more relaxed and have a more subtle taper than the 508s
Hm, I could try those
The 505 just kind bunched up in the front
and i'd be intentional when you try them, which is to say try on a nice shirt with it, or take a full pic. and definitely have shoes on.
Like see how the ones I wear are flat in the front
also candidly sometimes levi's just has quality control issues too, you could just have gotten a weird pair. but they didn't look to strange, I think the picture just wasn't doing you any favours
the 508s fit better in the thighs for sure. the 505s look too big
as someone said up there levi's sizing is not a science, it's super inconsistent
yeah i agree
i mean they are also different size pants
completely
36 vs 40
If you have a belly and a butt waist sizing can get bizarre
but oddly the new ones dont fit me in a 36 or 38 but the ones i own do?
if you're a true 40, there's a good chance a levi's 40 is going to be too big for you
yeah im a true 40
honestly not odd, levi's sizing is a crapshoot
Also everything is vanity sized
And inconsistently
a 40 in BB pants at least
ive had exact same pairs of the same levi's fit entirely different
And rises affect size
And Levi's is really a mess
i bet they vanity size the 508 a lot
as its an "altheletic taper"
it's across the brand.
yeah it was frustrating and they wouldnt leave the damn dressing room door open
you gotta either buy vintage based on your measurements or try the pair on you plan on buying new
it auto locked when shut
is there a better brand maybe
i think you need to figure out what you want. have you looked through #fashion-guides at all? there's nothing wrong with levis' but like i said, if you're buying at a store you need to try a few on to get teh right fit. and if you're gonna show us a picture, wear shoes, stand back a bit so we can see them better
true
i have looked yes
i was just at the levis store yesterday and its kind of far. maybe i can order some stuff to try
I’m going to post some pics of things I like in a moment
in my experience levis sizing is all over the place even in multiple pairs of the same style
i've had pairs of 511's ranging from 28 to 32 but my actual waist size hasnt changed in 20 years
yikes
so what do you do?
buy only in store?
in store or just buy multiple pairs online and return the ones that dont fit
