About this Style

Our 512™ Slim Taper sits at the sweet spot between a skinny and a regular taper. These jeans are part of our most versatile family of fits and are a go-to for every occasion. As you probably guessed from the name, they feature a slim fit through the thigh that tapers down to the ankle. The end result? A seemingly tailor-made pair of jeans you can style any which way.


  • The perfect, put-together balance of skinny and tapered
  • Made with a narrow leg for a more tailored look
  • Similar waist, seat and thigh as Levi’s® 511™ but with a slimmer leg
  • These jeans were crafted from premium stretch selvedge denim and woven on a traditional narrow-width shuttle loom—making them highly covetable. Roll up the cuff to show off the woven fabric strip.
  • Made with Levi's® Ease, a blend of midweight denim and just the right amount of stretch. Plus, they're designed to look and feel better over time—just like your favorite vintage Levi’s®

Timeless Denim

3 months ago
I'm a huge denim fan and finding that perfect pair that you know will never go out of style can be a game-changer. I'm happy to report that these jeans are just that. They are slim but not suffocating and made with high-quality cotton without any gimmicky stretch - exactly how good jeans are supposed to look and wear. These jeans are the type that you buy once every couple years because you wear them daily and can't imagine rockin' anything else.

Great Jeans!

Love the jeans! Nothing like good old Levi's. However, i don't agree with the previous reviews that said the fit runs small. I think it is just right. I ordered a size up and they were too large.

Love the thicker selvedge denim, these are true to size for me, the right amount of skinny, and look like they’ll survive years of abuse. Much better quality than the “regular” 512s (which I also wear) in terms of the fabric.

I really like these jeans. They fit and feel really good. I'd say they're true to size, almost. I'd love these in dark wash/indigo. But, hey.. no regrets. This is a nice pair of jeans.

Stylish and comfortable

I received this product from Influenster for my honest review. The 512™ Slim Taper Fit Selvedge Men's Jeans by Levi's are stylish, comfortable, and quality-made jeans. I love the color of these and feel like you can really style your outfit around them as the centerpiece. The light wash really makes them stand out among other pairs of jeans. In my opinion, you're getting quality jeans for a fair price. These won't break the bank, but will look like they did. The quality and versatility of these make them a must-have!

Love by the fitment

7 months ago
I received the opportunity to test Levi’s 512 Slim Taper Fit Selvedge Men’s Jeans for free in exchange for my honest review. First and foremost the fitment on these jeans are perfect, I went up one size because I like my jeans to be more loose fitting, but the fitment is on par and true to size. I like the stretchiness of the jeans and the overall look. I feel comfortable and confident wearing these jeans and I like the tone and appearance. I paired these jeans with a favorite crew neck T shirt and some shoes and I feel very stylish. I definitely recommend these jeans, they will last a lifetime.

Great comfortable pants

This pants are so nice. My husband was so happy that we got this because he just gave away his old pants and these are really nice comfortable pants and true to size. It goes with any shirt. Slim fit but not to tight. A little pricey but worth the money.

Fav jeans

Thank you to @influenster and @levis for the opportunity to try out a pair of Levi's jeans! I received these products for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have to say, the hype is real. These jeans are incredibly comfortable and well-made. It's good style and size. The denim feels durable yet soft, and the fit is perfect-snug in all the right places without being restrictive. I've worn them multiple times already, and they hold their shape perfectly without bagging out. Whether I'm running errands or heading out for a casual dinner, these are my new go-to. They're a classic for a reason!

Highly recommend!

8 months ago
Durability These jeans use premium selvedge denim—often with organic cotton or advanced fibers like TENCEL™ Lyocell and Refibra™—and are crafted with traditional shuttle-loom techniques, lending a hard-wearing structure. However, long-term users report wear issues such as tearing at the crotch and thinning over time Style With a clean, tailored silhouette, the 512 offers the balance of skinny and tapered cuts—streamlined but not restrictive . It’s a very versatile piece that fits both casual and dressier outfits: think smart shirts or T-shirts with sneakers Sizing The fit is generally slim through the thigh and tapering down—similar to the 511 cut but with a narrower leg . That said, sizing inconsistencies are common—many buyers have noted that the same size can vary significantly between pairs, and they often recommend trying multiple pairs to find the right fit Comfort Made with about 1–2% elastane for stretch, the 512 Selvedge delivers a comfortable fit while maintaining a tailored look . Reviewers often praise the comfort, particularly for how it feels "like a glove" and works for both men and women . A few report tightness around thighs when sitting, but note that the denim loosens with wear and washing Fit The cut sits below the waist with narrow thighs and tapered legs, achieving a flattering yet functional silhouette . However, for very slim builds, the relaxed thigh fit may appear slightly baggy—those with slender frames may need to size down or consider tailoring

Will be buying again- great quality and great fit. Runs exactly the right size although pretty sure length is longer than how much it should be.
