Levi Strauss Signature GoldWomen's Totally Shaping Skinny Jeans (Standard and Plus)

Fabulous! I'm SO relieved! I NEVER wear skinny jeans because I tend to wear either actual leggings....or bootcut jeans and just never got on the "jeggings" and skinny-jean train. However....I wear tons of knee-high boots and although they paid easily with my collection of standard and fleece leggings....they are such a pain to wear with jeans. Always stuffing the legs down into the boots and trying to get it all even. UGH.So finally, I decided to try some jeans that felt and functioned like legging....but were still real jeans. I chose Levi's because ever since my early 20's I find that they may not have tons of frills and bling....but their sizing is right on point for me no matter what the style. These are no different. I actually could have ordered a size smaller, but was unsure of how "skinny" would fit me since I don't wear them. I ordered the "tall" because normally "regular" in ANY pant is too short for me. These are a tiny bit longer than I expected....but fit perfectly from top to bottom. No pulling, bunching, or floppy areas. Most importantly, they didn't get looser as I wore them. They stayed fitted and tight from top to bottom. The color is VERY dark (they were sold out of the other shades and I'd have preferred slightly lighter) but I actually really like how they look and the color is growing on me.I wore them to my family's house and my mother said that I looked like I had "lost weight". I don't know if I actually did lose weight or if these pants are incredibly slimming....but that's a bonus for sure! The "top panel for slimming" isn't really notable and I'm not sure how much it truly helps any more than a well-fitting higher cut pant of any type....but they are definitely high enough that there's NO tummy bulge or dreaded "muffin top". They don't slip down or fold over when you sit. The leg and butt area are super-comfortable and really flattering no matter what your body type and frankly....they've changed my mind about skinny jeans and flexible jeans in general. These are almost as comfortable as my standard, thin, barely-there leggings. And that's stunning to me because they are fully-functional jeans!I really hope they stock more colors because I will be sticking with this style and brand and buying lighter colors for Summer and Spring styles the moment they're in stock. These are cut perfectly for high boots OR for dainty Summer Sandals and you can definitely wear them confidently with sheer Spring styles OR bulky Winter tunics. I absolutely love them so far!*I will add photos and update because I know that can help someone who may have a similar body type as I do, but for now....I'm 5'7 and buy "tall" because I'm very long in the thigh area and leggy overall. But I have some pudge around my middle and range from 10 to 12 in fitted jeans/pants mostly because of my belly. My thighs and butt are mostly standard, but these would definitely flatter a curvier butt and thigh. I sized up to a 12 and think next time I'd probably get a 10 instead. So I would NOT buy whatever your "higher size" tends to be. They run very true to size and there is plenty of flex to avoid unsightly bulges*. Truly a "slimming, stays fitted" jean when finding those in ANY style is so rare. LOVE THEM and totally recommend!!*****UPDATE FEBRUARY 24, 2017*******As you can see, I added photos. I've worn these jeans so many times since posting this original review that I cannot even count. And whether casual or fancy, they have held their form (which is the biggest issue I find with both regular jeans as well as leggings). I've washed them, but not dried them (line-dry only) and they lost no form and continued to stay true especially in the waist, which is the area that I find even the most expensive jeans start to slag, fall, or fold. While it may not always be unflattering to others...it's always uncomfortable when that happens. I've not had that experience with these at all. There is no shrinkage in length (important to me since I'm long in the thick -->crotch area) and no other shrinkage I've noted. These are perfect for a tall-not-tall person like me who has weirdly-long legs....but isn't truly a "tall" (I think "talls" are 5'8 and above, but I'm 5'7 and cannot wear most "Regular" pants). The color also stayed true. And in dark jeans, that's unusual. I washed them in a "delicates" bag, but but them on normal Permanent Press and put other stuff in with them. The color didn't bleed and stain my other clothes and they fit just like the first time after line-drying.Again...I sized up on these and would probably dry them in the dryer simply because they were bigger than I needed to begin with. But if you are not planning on heat-drying these (putting them on cool/tumble or line drying) there is no color bleed or shrinkage at all that I can detect. They still stay "high" on the waist and don't flop, fall, or fold after multiple wearings and still look good with heavy Winter sweaters or with delicate tops that show the waist on these pants. PLEASE start selling more colors of these for Summer and Spring. If you hate Skinny Jeans, Jeggings, Leggings, or even regular Jeans....these will be the pair that changes your mind! Absolutely buy these! They're amazing in every way!

I love this jeans! They fit perfect, they shape my body...heck, I'm rubbing my own behind when I wear these.This was my 2nd pair of a different color because I love them so much.You can dress up or down with these jeans!

I love this style of Levi I purchased a pair and really liked the way they fit so I ordered a few more!

Finally a pair of jeans that fit! These fit great, cover the tummy and are the perfect length for my 5’2” frame. Will buy more colors as jeans that fit this well are hard to find.

Jeans are nice. Fit true to size. Not overly flattering, but good daily wear jeans. Comfortable.

I recently had barriactric weight loss surgery. I wasn't really sure of my size so I got a size 14. I am 5'7" and weigh 185. I still have a bit of a tummy. These fit so good. They move with you without feeling like you have to keep pulling them up. I am buying more because of the stretching I can lose more weight and still wear them.

I took a chance when ordering these jeans, because I wasn’t sure what size to get, but by using the size chart I found the perfect pair of pants and they fit perfectly, couldn’t be more pleased, I even ordered a second pair

These are light and comfortable. They have a stretch but they aren't that one kind of stretch. You know?

They are a totally different wash then I ordered and didn't feel like skinny jeans. A little wide in the leg and still a little long. They look nothing like the jeans in the ad.

Feel and fit

es un estilo muy cómodo, cintura alta como a mi me gusta, no queda tan entallado al cuerpo pero si da muy bonita forma. Sobre todo para las sra de mas de 40 años que nos gusta andar mas formales. Lo he comprado varias veces, el unico detalle que le he visto es que unos 2 pantalones que compre del mismo modelo venia una pierna mas larga que la otra, pero como les levanto un poco el dobladillo ni se nota

No son red tan, ni etiqueta de papel, son la versión económica, signature

Me quedo perfecto. Mido 170 y peso 74 Kg. Y me quedo perfecta la talla W31L30.Me gustaron mucho
