8 Levi's Jeans Fits Compared (Slim, Skinny, Tapered, Athletic & Loose)
About this video
McGoff tries on eight different Levi’s jean cuts ranging from skinny to relaxed fits, demonstrating how each style fits on his 5'6", 120-pound frame. He provides detailed fit assessments for each cut—from the 510 skinny fit through the 505 regular—and offers recommendations for which styles work best for different body types and personal preferences.
Key takeaways
- McGoff recommends the 511 slim and 512 slim taper as his top choices for versatile, comfortable fits that balance style and wearability
- McGoff suggests the 510 skinny fit for very thin men, the 541 athletic taper for stockier guys needing hip and thigh room, and the 501 or 505 for those preferring looser, trendy silhouettes
- McGoff argues that ordering multiple sizes and trying them on is valuable for discovering personal fit preferences and potentially finding a better option than expected
