Let’s get into it. Starting, of course, with the 501.

501 Original Fit Jeans

There’s a reason why we consider the 501s not just the most important denim in American history, but one of the best jeans for men. In production under that name since 1890, today’s 501s have a straight leg with no taper, a mid-rise, a five-pocket design, a button fly, and enough room to be considered comfortable without being mistaken for loose or baggy. 

502 Taper Jeans

The 502 is a touch slimmer than its better-known predecessor, the 501. It also tapers from the thigh down, creating a slightly more crispy silhouette that follows the natural shape of the leg. The modern iteration also has a bit of stretch, which comes in handy on all slimmer cuts. While some say that the 502 is a “streamlined” version of the 501, we’d argue that it’s a different idea altogether.

505 Regular Jeans

The 505 didn’t really find its footing until the 1970s, when its slimmer silhouette was adopted by rock stars of the era. Despite having a stronger taper than the 501, the 505 has a touch more room in the seat and thigh, and Levi’s also makes them with stretch, though you can still find them in a rigid selvedge denim, just like they were originally sold.

510 Skinny Jeans

if the 505 represents Levi’s foray into dedicated slim territory, the 510s are the brand’s original skinny jeans. Given the low rise, slim thigh, and tapered, ankle-hugging 13” hem, it’s no surprise they’re made with denim that has a considerable bit of stretch.

517 Bootcut Jeans

Originally introduced in 1969 as part of the more experimental—and now highly collectible—Orange Tab line, the 517 Bootcut was a staple of the 1970s before fading out of existence. Now that a little bit of flare is on its way back, so are the 517s. To be clear: we’re not talking bell-bottoms here—these have a mid-rise and are slim through the seat and thigh, while the leg flares out just a touch below the knee to accommodate some taller footwear, like boots.

527 Slim Bootcut Jeans

If you’re into the idea of bootcut jeans but prefer a lower rise—or know you want some stretch— the 527 is your winner. It’s basically the 517—slim through the seat and thigh, with a subtle flare below the knee—except these sit below the waist. That, plus some stretch woven into the denim, makes the 527 feel a little more modern than it’s older brother, the the 517.

541 Athletic Taper Jeans

Appreciating that we are all literally built different, the 541 is Levi’s take on an athletic fit—a modern development in menswear that generally means you can expect more room in the thigh and seat. That’s certainly the case here: the 541 has a low rise and extra-roomy seat and thigh, but also tapers pretty significantly toward the ankle, giving it something of a sweatpant silhouette. If you’re looking for an easy-to-wear, modern-fitting pair of jeans, complete with a little stretch, this is a very respectable place to start

550 Relaxed Jeans

f you want more room than a straight leg, but are hesitant to go all-the-way baggy, these relaxed Levi’s are your best bet. Introduced in 1985, they have a mid-rise and loose fit all the way down. Relaxed doesn’t mean sloppy: the 550s are, in fact, tactfully shaped plenty of airspace

568 Loose Straight

Maybe giving the 568 its own sub-section is a bit unnecessary, considering the (arguably) negligible differences between it and the 565 above. But considering the 568 a) tapers a bit more from the knee down. As with the 565, however, you get a loose, relaxed fit, a zipper fly, and a whole bunch of that ‘90s je ne sais quoi.
