To this day they they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will. We added a 90s-inspired mini waistband to this pair to bring them into the present.

Pretty Sweet

2 years ago
These are my first Levi's jeans ever, and I just say that the hype about the quality is definitely true. These truly have that jeans feeling to it. The design is pretty good, hugs all the right places and fits just right for different activities. Very comfortable and rugged at the same time. My only down side of these jeans is that it has so many buttons. I didn't realize this when I got it (oversight on my part), but overall a really good pair of jeans.

Did not expect to love these like I did

3 years ago
I’ll be honest- I didn’t expect to love these. But I absolutely love them. I apologize for the messy bathroom in the photos 😅 I was so worried about owning a pair of “non stretch” jeans but these are my new favorite pair. This is my first pair of Levi’s I have ever owned. They were so flattering. I’ve recently lost about 100 lbs and have a significant mom pouch and was worried it would be obvious in these but as you can tell it doesn’t show at all. I ordered a size 27 and they fit like a glove. I’m 5’4” and 145 pounds for reference. I can’t say enough good things about these pants.

The perfect fit!

3 years ago
After trying on a few other styles, the store associate suggested these and wow - I absolutely love them! They fit me perfectly in every way. No overly tight areas, the waist sits at the right spot for me and even the length was good (although a crop would be good in these too).

A bit smaller fit

a year ago
I usually wear Levi's size 25 and it's usually a bit tight fit for me. But I could zip up these jeans, it's also because they are low rise. It's a classical 501 model when it comes to bottom half of the jeans.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Coole Jeans aber leider etwas zu schwer

Good jeans but a little different

2 years ago
This is a mini waist jeans so the waist line/bar is very thin. You can't use a belt with it. There are also no belt loops. I purposely choose this style because I didn't want it to squeeze too much around my waist so I can show off my belly ring without having a muffin top. If you want it to shrink, might have to wash it to shrink. There's no zipper but many "no show" buttons. I personally prefer the buttons to show since I prefer the look and easier to button up. Overall it's pretty good, just knows it's not your usual type of jeans

Cute

2 years ago
Im 5”10, 170lbs with hips.I usually wear a 32 in 501 because they have no stretch but i ordered these in a 33x32. These are a little roomy in the butt area but its ok. I could have stayed with the 32. There is no belt loop for the waist and the 33 is loose fitting on my waist so I’ll wear them for a baggy look. The length for me stops right at the floor.

I like them

2 years ago
Love the fit BUT the hook and eye closure is a really poor design choice - the length is 30 which would be slightly short for me but I like the frayed bottom and I thought by going shorter one could see the fraying more BUT these are like 30" length + frayed edge which makes this part of the design also flawed- they are normal length and the fraying becomes lost- The quality of the denim is great and that is why I gave 4 stars -

No, I do not recommend this product.

rad fit. TINY clasp.

2 years ago
these fit really well. love the fit. i have 1 little complaint thought. the tiny little clasp above the button fly is really suspect. i dont see this lasting very long as it is only sewn in with some single thread. i'll give it about a month of decent wear until i will need to find a replacement and sew it on myself with a needle and thread. hope they sell replacements :)

These are really cute!

2 years ago
When i ordered these, i used the size guide on the website to determine my size. When the jeans arrived they are super cute and i loved the way they looked. Unfortunately they were not a good fit for.my body. Theyre too snug through the hips and thigh. I put them on and realized theyre too tight for me to wear comfortably. I have a pretty nice shaped butt and they did not flatter that area at all. Actually made it look flat. I am not a fan of this style. In the future i will have to get pants that are lil less snug in the hip area. I lived the feel and fabric but cant wear due to the snug fit in hip area

I missed the fact that these were high waisted so I didn't keep them but I loved the style. The mini waist is a great idea. I hope they will make them in a mid-rise someday. I did find them to run big.

Sizing seems off

2 years ago
The Levi 501 Mini Waist Women’s Jeans are really well made and very sturdy. The material is comfortable and the style is modern. I am a standard size 0 and have a pretty small waistline, but these jeans are pretty tight. The hidden buttons on the fly are impossible to button and they added a little hook and eye fastener that is also very hard to latch. The length also seems a little short. I’m only 5’0 and the 30L seems a tad short for my legs. I would say size up for the waste, but I feel that would have made the legs really baggy.

Runs REALLY big

2 years ago
I want to love these pants so much. Actually I do love these jeans but the problem is they run really big. I bought my normal size, 26, or a size 2, and I am swimming in them. They don’t even stay up on my hips, fall right down. I’ve been a size 2 since after having my first child and I wear the same size in every company’s jeans, but not these. To be honest I should have sized down two sizes to a size 00 for those to fit. I’m not even able to share a picture of me in the jeans because they won’t stay up long enough to take a picture and it would be NSFW. Besides the sizing, the jeans look study yet comfy. I’m bummed they don’t fit.

Size up!

2 years ago
I had high hopes for these because they are cute and so different but unfortunately they aren’t for me . I had already sized up but I’d actually size up two sizes because these didn’t fit at all. They were very unflattering on me . Thanks for letting me try Levi’s and Influenster for my honest review .

Runs large

2 years ago
Runs large, I’m a pretty consistent 27 in pants (a 29.5 inch waist) so I got these in a 27 since some reviews said it runs small. I figured if they were a bit snug I could do the water on the waistband trick and wear them in since they’re 100% cotton. The 27’s are so big they fall without me having to walk at all. I love the style and they look so cute on, but I think I’ll have to find them a new home since I bought them in sale.

Way to small in thigh

3 years ago
I loved these pants when they came in they even exceeded my expectations , they fit around my neck(to make sure they would fit around my waist) then i put them on…let me start off by saying im a size 30 all around the board…i only wear levis. Im a 30. These wouldn’t go past my butt/thighs…super disappointed…if you have a butt dont even bother trying to buy anything 501

Cute Waist, Runs Small

3 years ago
[Employee of levis] Was really excited about the waistband and ankle detailing on this pair, but unfortunately the fit is pretty wonky for someone with more of a butt. It's tightest across the front of the hips and lower butt creating back gapping and does hit more mid waist than described. Not for my body type, but would recommend to a friend with a straighter/leaner figure.

Nicht so toll.

a year ago
Ich bin nicht sicher, ob es war nur nicht für mich, oder für alle. Es lässt mich dick aussehen. :-( Ich habe 23 x 30 bestellt (158 cm, 50 kg), und es sollte vielleicht 24 x 28 sein. Aber ich habe ein Gefühl, das die Größe nicht das Problem ist. Die Beine waren in Bezug auf die Geräumigkeit nicht mit den Hüften abgestimmt.
