First days, best days, all the days. This year, we’re taking cues from the inside as students and others embark on another year of success – both in life, and in style. We sat down with six returning college students to learn what they’re wearing and why, and which words of wisdom they’d love to share with other students looking to express their true selves while keeping an eye on the future.

Making jeans last isn’t just our responsibility, there are things you can do to lengthen the lifespan of your favorite Levi’s® denim as well.

You already know our iconic 501® fit—and with its 100+ years of history, how could you not? But do you know the whole family? Or even what a “fit family” is? Welp, here’s your chance to learn. Let’s start with the 501® fit. It’s the one and only original blue jean. It debuted over a hundred years ago as a workwear pant but slowly worked its way into the cultural zeitgeist as a downtime symbol of casual cool. It’s literally the blueprint on which all modern denim is made. Suffice it to say it’s kind of a big deal. So if the 501® is a fit, then what is a “fit family”? The fit family is all of the styles that are built as a variation of that original fit. For example, make the 501® Original just a little slouchier and you’ve got the 501® ’93 for men. So just think of the fit family as a collection of little tweaks here and there that put a fresh spin on a classic well-loved fit. Now to the 501® fit family. What are the little tweaks that make a big difference in these 501® variations, and what version of the 501® is right for you? Read on to find out.

The 501® is one of our most famous fits, there are no bones about it. Its hundred-plus-year history literally put blue jeans on the map. And even though the original was a rough and tumble workwear pant, its easy wearability and durable construction quickly made it a fan favorite during off hours as well. So it's no wonder you already know what is arguably the most iconic denim style of all time. And because of its enduring fame and international reach, it only makes sense that we get a lot (and we mean a lot) of questions about the 501® fit itself, and the 501® fit family. “Woah woah woah,” we hear you say, “what is a fit family?” Well, let us tell you. Here at Levi’s®, we don’t always need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it's little tweaks that make all the difference—lengthen a hemline here, give a little more room in the seat over there—and voila suddenly you have a whole new look, but not a whole new fit. Enter fit family. The slouchier version of the 501® is not the 502, it’s the 501® ’90s. But what are the key differences that define each of these 501® variations? We break them down below to help you find the one that’s right for you.

Our chinos run the gamut between polished and sleek staple styles and styles that basically sweatpants in disguise. Plus, since it’s summer we’re paying special attention to our shorts styles in this here round up.

You can already feel it can’t you? That transitional weather is slowly creeping in changing the way we dress from light, bright and breezy to something a little more complex. September style starts with battling the chilly mornings that are a taste of weather yet to come and ends with sometimes sweltering summer-like temperatures that remind you that fall hasn’t *quite* started yet. So, how do we dress for that? Transitional temps are always tricky but you’ve come to the right place, friends. Our look of the month is a replicable, easy way to decode September's super confusing dress code to help you find the styles you’ll be wearing all month long. Alright, let’s get started.
