#3 How to find the right size in Levi’s jeans?
To find your perfect Levi’s fit you should measure yourself. Making sure they’ll fit right from waist to ankle, you want to measure your waist, hips and the length of your leg from crotch to ankle in inches. Once you have these measurements, you’ll be able to work out your perfect size, trusting your new jeans will fit like a glove.
#4 Do Levi’s jeans stretch?
The amount your Levi’s jeans stretch depends on the style, but overall, Levi’s jeans have very little elastane in, being made using traditional weaving techniques and high–quality cotton. While the skinny jeans styles do have elastane so have a bit of stretch, the straight leg styles can have as little as 1% elastane.
However, the cotton will soften with wear, so they will be looser on day 3 than they were fresh out of the washing machine. But their high–quality material means they’ll snap back to shape with every wash, so you want to make sure they’re comfortable from day one.
#5 What do the Levi’s numbers mean?
Using their signature three digital numbering system, Levi’s guides us in choosing the perfect style for your body shape and aesthetic. For men, each number in the Levi’s collection signifies the overall sit, including the rise of the waist, the cut of the leg opening, and the fit of the seat. For women, each style number indicates the fit through the waist, hips and thighs, with many leg shapes and cuts to choose from. Once you have your perfect fit, you will be able to focus completely on the aesthetics of your denim safe in the knowledge that you will get a perfect fit each time. With that said, allow us to guide you through Levi’s denim styles with our Levi’s fit guide for men and women.
