These jeans are just right. Not too skinny but without wide ankles.

I ended up getting cargo pants instead of these jeans because they were out of season. I couldn’t find them on the website anywhere. I usually don’t but Levi’s so I was unsure about how they would fit and in an over abundance of caution ordered the largest of their straight sizes which is a 34. I normally am between sizes ranging from a 12-16 depending on the brand and a 34 is about 2 sizes to big on me. They fit very loose overall but that was to be expected. I don’t mind that they are a bit big because they are comfortable and I would rather have too big rather than too small. I like that they can be worn two ways, you are able to tie up the ankles to give them more of a jogger feel. I will get use out of them.

I purchased these jeans in black pattern. The striped pattern is a welcome touch- it makes them unique compared to the usual black jean. The fit is great, love the high rise.

Didn’t expect the pattern

My only real complaint is that pictures didn’t show the pattern on the pants very well at all, so it’s not what I thought I ordered. Otherwise the pants fit very nice and feel like pretty good quality.

Cool pattern, loose fit, button up pants

I loved the pattern of the jeans. It’s gives my outfits a more vintage feel. I think this pair of pants is for casual wear as it has a pretty laggy fit. I had to wear a belt for sure. Another thing relevant to mention is that there sis no zipper. Instead, the pants have 5 buttons which can be annoying. You can only see the top button when buttoned all the way. I ordered a 30x31 and I’m 5’7” and weigh 150.

Color was not the way it looked in the picture, I used the size chart to choose a size and it fit my legs well but was somehow wide on the waist. My waist is 27 and I order 27 but there is so much room in the back.
