Ask Angie and all: Levi's 510 Super Skinny

Ingunn

Dear Angie and Fabbers,
I have a pair of Levi's 510 that are slim, but not super skinny on me. They are my favorite jean. They are size 30", inseam 32". Normally I'll wear jeans sized 27-28". Why is it so? Is it because these are sized for men? To the point: My daughter tried these, and they fit was just perfect for her, too. When I google them, I only find jeans for men.

My main questions: Are the 510 the exact same model for men and women? Would it be safe to order them online in regards of getting a good fit?

All information is very helpful - finding the perfect jean is like searching for the holy grail. Thank you in advance!

I wear a size 10 in most jeans (unless they run big) and that is always a size 30" in women's Levis for me. I have several pair of Levis over the span of a couple of years so I feel like their sizing is mostly consistent. Hope that helps!

Yes it does, Texstyle, thanks! Do you know if Levi's various numbers are unisex? Like 501, 510, 507, 511 and so on. Or do they sell a 510 for men, and another model 510 for women? Hope that makes sense.

Yes! Those are mens sized jeans.

Levis does sometimes have unisex sizing - like the 501s in the '80s and '90s. I did not know that the 510s were also unisex sizing. I vote go for it.

Angie, thanks! I went to the Levi's store right now and tried the 510's on. They fit quite differently from my old ones, and the SA told me that what I have is a women's version that is discontinued. Too bad. I tried the Curve IDs, but they are not the same.

Anyone - if you have a recommendation of a Levis model that would fit somewhat like a Demi Curve, but in sturdier denim, please chime in. (Or another brand).

I got some KUT from the Kloth white denim "Catherine" BF shorts last year and I really like them a lot. They are thick enough and I like the rise which seems to be about 8". Those I sized down to an 8 from my usual (roomy) 10's.

Have you tried the Levi's 505's? They come in women's sizes, I just bought a pair and I love them!
