Levi's Women's Straight 505 Jeans

5’1” 120lbs. Size 27 Short. Flattering ever so slightly relaxed fit. Just enough stretch to ensure they do not stretch out of shape while wearing. Wearing with a belt keeps them up, so I might actually be able to go down a size, however, I do not like tight calf jeans. So I will likely stay with this size. After a wash and dry they are perfect and super comfortable with true Levi’s styling. This is also a great price, comparable with the direct price at Levis.com. As other have mentioned, the front pockets are very shallow. Did not find this to be a problem though as you also avoid the pocket bulge on your legs as well.

I’m absolutely loving these Levi's Dark Shadow 505 Straight Jeans! The quality of these jeans is incredible – you can immediately tell they’re built to last. The fabric feels sturdy, but it has just the right amount of stretch to it, making them super comfortable while still holding their shape throughout the day. I’ve worn them for hours, and they didn’t lose any of their fit or comfort, which is a huge win for me.The dark shadow color is chic and versatile – it’s perfect for dressing up or down. I’ve paired them with both casual tees and a nice shirt, and they look great either way. The straight cut is flattering and gives off a clean, modern look without being too tight or too baggy.These jeans really tick all the boxes: quality, comfort, and style. They’ve quickly become my go-to pair! Highly recommend if you’re looking for something that looks sharp, feels comfortable, and will last.

Great quality but runs big. Size down

I have lost some weight over the last year and needed to get some new jeans. My husband begged me to buy some new ones... LOL!! It's not like I haven't tried. I have purchased and returned more than I can ever begin to remember. I knew that I wanted mid-rise, darker blue, no holes/rips, hemmed, not frayed, straighter legs and a little bit of stretch. I had never tried Levi's before but thought it couldn't hurt to try. When they arrived, I didn't have high expectations of them fitting me right, but I was so surprised and happy to have found the PERFECT ones!! That's what brought me to these white ones. I thought the white ones would be really nice to wear with some of my summer tops and sandals. These are also a PERFECT fit!! The material is a little thicker than the blue ones I ordered but will be just fine. I always wash my jeans in cold water and never dry them in the dryer. I like them a little stiffer and I don't want them to shrink, especially in the length. I am so pleased with all of my new jeans, and my husband is very happy too!! The Levi 505's are more expensive than the Levi Signature Gold that I purchased; however, they are a thicker jean and well worth the price. I have another pair of Levi 505 jeans in my shopping cart. I still can't believe my hunt for jeans is finally over.

Pants fit perfectly and comfortable. Really nice pants.

I have been on a search for jeans that fit my naturally curvaceous bottom and hips on my 5'7", upper 40's mother-of-4-youngsters, generally size 12 Long/Tall body. I tried on Riders by Lee Indigo Women's Relaxed Fit Straight Leg, Lee Women's Relaxed Fit Sraight Leg, Levi's Women's 505 Straight Leg, and Levi's Women's 525 Perfect Waist Straight Jean through Amazon's Prime Wardrobe program. None were free or discounted, I am purchasing my favorites at full price. These are my insights on these jeans:Riders by Lee Indigo Women's Relaxed Fit Straight Leg, Patriot Blue, size 12 Long - my favorite; my new number one jeans. They are true to size; a 12 fits comfortably. These are mid waist jeans, sitting at my belly button in the front. It fits well over my curvy bottom and hips without gaping at the waist in the back, although the mid back comes up nearer to my actual waist so that it covers my bottom without showing anything if I bend over. These are also a truly relaxed fit, they drape nicely but don't cling to any part of me below mid hip. In the past I have regretted purchasing regular length as they generally become highwaters after a wash or two. I ordered the Long, which are REALLY long - almost two inches too long. They are also a nice heavy, traditional denim (99% cotton, 1% spandex), which is a bit scrachy and stiff at first, but softens up very nicely after washing. The heavy denim feels so much better in the long run, as they don't stretch out throughout the day and start sagging. And, I like that they don't have the weird whiskering at the hips which just make my hips look even bigger, nor do they have the sanded thighs that make my thighs look bigger. For those who care, these do have real, hand depth pockets in front. Wonderful jeans for 40+! I love these!Lee Women's Relaxed Fit Sraight Leg, Authentic Nile, size 12 Tall - these are not a good fit for curvy with a bottom. They are true to size and very soft. They fit fine over my curvy bottom and hips, but left a three finger gap in the back waistband. The front waistband is higher than on the Lee Riders, I would consider these close to standard high rise which sits up at my waist. I do like that they don't have the whiskering and sanding, but the Authentic Nile are an odd aqua blue, not a true indigo blue. And, again, I ordered the tall, which is long, but only 1/2 to 1 inch too long (prior to washing), so I would definitely keep tall in these if I were keeping them. These are 92% cotton, 7% polyester, and 1% spandex, which feel a lot more like I would expect pajama jeans to feel than traditional jeans. And, along with the gap, I am concerned they will sag as the day progressed, eventually hanging off my hips, so these are not for me.Levi's Women's 505 Straight Leg, Sleek Blue, size 12 Long - not a good fit for curvy with a bottom. These are true to size, but are not relaxed (they fit much closer to my thighs). The waist is a bit stretchy, but still has a 2 to 3 finger gap in back. And, unfortunately these have whiskering which make my hips look wider and sanded thighs which I don't like. They are 99% cotton, like the Lee Riders, but are slightly thinner and softer before washing. I ordered the 12 Long, which is comfortably long, leaving an extra 1/2 to 1 inch (prior to washing). Theses have a mid waist, sitting right at mid belly button in front. Unfortunately these are also the lowest cut in the back, and with the gap, creates a plumber crack look when bending over. Definitely not for me.Levi's Women's 525 Perfect Waist Straight Jean, Bear Creek, size 14 regular - okay fit, but not my favorite. These were the only jeans I had to try on the 14s, so these run a bit small, particularly in the hips and thighs (according to other reviews it may have to do with the color, the 12s were very dark (Darkest Ace), which many said run smaller). They sit well in the back, high enough, but without a gap, and sit at low mid waist in front, coming to the middle of my belly button. These also have the whiskering, but it is less visible on this faded color of denim. The Bear Creek is 99% cotton, 1% spandex, and very comfortable. These are my second favorite of all the jeans I tried. I am torn as to whether to buy them or not - I do like the fit and feel, but at almost twice the price of the Lee Riders and requiring a larger size, I'm not sure whether I will keep these or not.

Took ordering a few different types, but finally found the correct fit and size. Love them.

Love these but they are too baggy and too large in the waist. I’m going to try the next size down. I ordered a 29 which is my usual size in Levi’s but will try 28.
