Anyone a Levi's fan? Can you tell me the difference between styles?

Between 501 crop , wedgie and tapered mom jean ..
I'm looking for the old fashion style like women's 501's with a button fly . Thanks
Google isn't bringing too much up !

I think 501s are the only ones with button fly (I also love them!). At the moment they’re available in ‘crop’ style, which you might like, or if you’re average height you can buy the longer length and they’re basically normal length jeans. And they’ve also got traditional women’s 501s too.

Depending on your size and shape you might also like to try the men’s 501s, which at various times have been marketed as ‘unisex’. Bear in mind you’ll need to go up an inch or two in the waist in men’s sizes as they’re cut differently.

Thanks , I've got 501 crops and I like them but I've noticed there are these other styles .. might order from ASOS and see

I have the 501 crops, they do have a button fly. I really like them. Quite a high waist, this is them in the pic

Oh sorry I see you have the crops! I thought you were asking what they were like. Misread the op sorry.

huuuuunnnndderrricks · 27/05/2021 11:04

Thanks Ella , I like them too .. just yearning after the old style women's ones which ironically I never wore in favour of men's ones but I've realised I'm actually hours glass and they may flatter !

I have recently ordered some new Levi’s and found their website really hard to navigate. Most of the 501s marketed as cropped are actually available up to 30 inch leg which isn’t really cropped on me. They also give waist rise measurements on some but not styles so like you I found it very hard to compare styles. In the end I went for 28 raw edge 501s which are fab and very flattering and some railroad jeans which are a bit of a treat (£££) but I absolutely love them. I’m 5’6.

These are the 501 crop on me .. Not the most flattering angle.. just wondering if the tapered would work better still? 🤔

Don't think they are 501 tho.. just called tapered boyfriend style. Got them about three years ago.

huuuuunnnndderrricks · 27/05/2021 11:16

I like them !

I love the crops on you, love how you have styled them.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 27/05/2021 11:17

I have quite a few pairs of Levi's - from last year I have balloon leg which they don't seem to do any more, and I also have the 501 crops in black and in blue. I actually bought a pair yesterday which are called something like "high rise loose taper" and are essentially a mom jean.

I'm 5ft 6 and a size 10, and get a 28 waist, although I did go to 29 for the high rise ones because I am sitting on my bum all the time WFH and don't want them cutting into my Covid-tummy!

EllaPaella · 27/05/2021 11:21

I'm a similar size to judy and the crops are a 28 waist, the tapered style a 29

I have a pair of Wedgies from a few years ago. They have have button fly and are tapered.
