Levi Strauss Signature Gold Women's Totally Shaping Pull-On Skinny Jeans (Standard and Plus)

Love these jeans

I love these jeans. I got a 12 regular. I am 5’4 and 1/2 and around 148-150lbs. I have been losing the weight I gained during Covid so I went by reviews on height and weight. I love comfort and haven’t worn jeans since 2020 early. ( got used to comfy clothes) . I am pretty well weighted all around. But I do have a big booty. My waist isn’t really tiny but when I eat anything… literally even a glass of water I look 3 months pregnant lol. Always been that way so I need something that will stretch. So anyway back to the size 12’s I got. I waited until after I ate a full meal to try them on and sit down. Wow I could sleep in them extremely comfortable, even the sewing. The color is great the length is great and I have short legs with a long torso. But they were actually too big and I am surprised because I love EVERYTHING big. I just bought the10 because I think that will be perfect and then the 8 for skinny days. The 12 was just really loose around my thighs and my waist ( so I had to keep pulling them up) too much extra Jean fabric everywhere honestly. Thinking once I wash them they will be great for family eating holidays. So overall I love them but I wish I went with my normal size. My problem being my height is usually pants being too long. I would say if you are under 5’4 get the short unless you have a long torso with long legs. I was not blessed with that body. Definitely go with your normal size in this color anyway. I know different colors can be tighter or looser. I will definitely buy again. Going on a date tonight and wearing jeans for the first time since Covid started. Thank you Levi’s ❤️

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.

The jeans fit perfect! It is true to size, comfortable, and just the right amount of stretch.

You never know what you're going to get when you order these pants. I wear these for work and have repurchased several times over the last 5 years. I do like them a lot. They have great stretch and actual pockets which is so rare in women's pants. The black does fade quickly but the blue denim that I've had have held up really nice. I also appreciate that they don't come with that nasty denim dye smell that you sometimes run into with new jeans. The only flaw (and it's really not a flaw of the actually product) is that it's a shot in the dark when you order them. I recently ordered some new pairs to replace the worn out ones I had been wearing. I usually order multiples of the same color and size at one time and I get random incorrect sizes and colors every single time I order. It's just annoying.

I initially really liked these jeans. They were true to size, a great price, and were soft and stretchy! Unfortunately, they barely lasted a year... and they were not used and abused. I only wore them to work (desk job) and wore multiple times before washing to prevent fading. I wore them for about 6 months before the crotch started to wear thin. Two reasons being: 1. these jeans aren't super thick material-wise and 2. I'm super thicc thigh-wise. (If you know, you know!) So, take your chances with these jeans. I really liked them overall, but won't be purchasing again.
