In truth, I have a waist and don't consider myself to have straight hips; if pants/jeans fit in the hips the waist may be too big. But I also have a shrinking caboose. Maybe that's why these jeans fit?</p> <p>I need to educate myself on 511s vs 505s vs 501s and whatever else is out there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407995 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 09:29:54 +0000 bella 2407995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my most loved pairs is a men's cut, hand-me-down from one of my nephews! Something to do with the hips maybe?&nbsp;<br />These look great on you, keep wearing them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407985 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 04:51:41 +0000 Jonesy 2407985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are amazing on you! How great when you find something fabulous in your own house :). Love the layered tops and the pointy-toed boots too--just perfect!</p> <p>I have several pairs of men's pants and shorts, including some Levis. They tend to fit me better than lots of women's pants/jeans, because my hips are straight and I don't have much of a waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407895 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:41:33 +0000 Angie 2407895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stinking KILLER cute, <b>DonnaF</b>!

Score!&nbsp;</div><div>I bought a pair of men's Levis at the Levis store a year or so ago, and I really like them. Mine are 555s, and I bought them in 28/30. My size in women's jeans is usually between 25 and 27. In women's Levis, usually a 27.&nbsp;<br /><div></div><div>Shopping for them at Goodwill is a good idea. </div></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407736 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:26:14 +0000 kellygirl 2407736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! 511 are my go to Levis for work. They work well for straighter body types with menopausal bellies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407733 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:51:50 +0000 karen23 2407733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>No wonder I could never figure their sizes out!&nbsp; I might just cruise by the men's department when I'm in a big box store, and pick out 3 sizes to try along with the misses clothing.</div><div>When I was a girl my mom used to buy me misses Wrangler jeans.&nbsp; They were unfashionably short and the waistband would pinch.&nbsp; This was when fashions were changing.&nbsp; So when I could get some of my own clothes I got low-rise men's bell-bottoms.</div><div>No way I'd borrow my husband's jeans.&nbsp; He's only an inch taller than me, and thinner, and he wears his jeans until they're just about destroyed.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407714 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:54:21 +0000 RobinF 2407714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look great! I am afraid to think what size I would need :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407703 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 06:15:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that they are Levi's is part of the magic. Back in the 90s and earlier Levi's were uni-sex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407685 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:15:33 +0000 Jaime 2407685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic! Levis notoriously run small on women - they are designed for men so the waist is more akin to a high hip measurement in women. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407684 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:14:50 +0000 DonnaF 2407684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should add that DH is 5' 6" (or used to be) andI am 5' 1".</p> <p>Until I looked at the label I'd never heard of 511s. I think the last time I tried men's jeans was when I was a teenager -- over 55 years ago. Jeans are such a crapshoot for me anyway in terms of fit, flattery, and a fabrication that I like so maybe I should make regular trips to my local Goodwill since their changing rooms are unisex.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407676 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:49:17 +0000 Ket 2407676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fab on you!!

Worked for me back in what? the early '70s. And I could buy the right length for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>You do look great in this pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407666 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:56:35 +0000 Kate 2407666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look fantastic on you, DonnaF!&nbsp;</p> <p>I often buy menswear because the proportions just fit me better (no curves here). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407663 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:44:44 +0000 Irina 2407663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I tried my DH 32/32 Levi’s jeans and they are too big. Surprisingly, the difference is less than I expected. Next time I’m at the mall, I’m definitely going to try a smaller size in a men department. Maybe it will be a solution to my problem - hips are almost always too wide on me in my size denim.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407661 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:48:29 +0000 Carla 2407661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve read that 511’s are popular with mid life women due to a more comfortable hip and waist fit. &nbsp;Also, that they are hard to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407659 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:28:06 +0000 slim cat 2407659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unexpected but fab fit! You found a new favorite it seems . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407655 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:52:51 +0000 MsMary 2407655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those look like they were made for you! I learned last night that most of my 6' tall husband's height is in his torso: We are taking piano class and he didn't have to adjust the height on the piano bench after I'd played, and I'm 5'2"!. Maybe I should try stealing a pair of his jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407654 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 13:52:03 +0000 Indigoprint 2407654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good!<br />&nbsp;511 are a bit trimmer that the more common 505.<br />I learned that with my tall lanky sons with their 36 inch inseam.<br />I still have 3 pair in rotation, as men's jeans always fit me better. They can be hard to find. Good move to snag them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407653 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 13:45:22 +0000 Cookie 2407653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so good!! Those are very “cool person” jeans to my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407652 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 13:30:43 +0000 LJP 2407652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- these look great on you ! &nbsp;I'd love a pair of vintage-y Levi's but pricing is crazy on the resale market. &nbsp;The sizing is obviously a crap shoot too - how can you possibly be wearing a 32?? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407646 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 13:01:24 +0000 Irina 2407646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good and fits really well!<br />I tried my DH jeans once but they were too big on me. He wears 32/32, I wear 26 or (lately) 27. Hmmm, I’m intrigued. Going to try again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407644 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 12:37:53 +0000 Janet 2407644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great on you! I don’t think I could do the same with my husband’s 36/36 jeans, but may have to try it just for grins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407639 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:50:30 +0000 Dee 2407639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab DonnaF, I've experienced the same with my guy's shorts and jeans. It seems men's sizing doesn't account for hips like it does for women's sizing. Well at least that's been my impression when trying their things on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407637 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:08:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fit perfectly! Mens sizing is different. I have found the same with my DHs jeans that I borrow sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407635 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:31:02 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you Donna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407634 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:23:40 +0000 Sisi 2407634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fit you wonderfully! Continue to pick out husband's clothing. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dh%e2%80%99s-jeans#post-2407633 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:48:52 +0000 DonnaF 2407633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of curiosity, I pulled these 32 30 jeans out of my husband’s Goodwill bag. In women’s jeans, I wear 25/26 waist and 28 length so I was totally surprised that these fit me better than most of my jeans. Learned that labels can be misleading! </p>
