Levi Strauss Signature Gold Women's Totally Shaping Pull-on Skinny Jeans Mid-Rise Stretch Denim (Available in Plus Size)

What more can I say? They are great looking on, the color is lovely and rich, the fit is perfect. Great value for my money. They are not thin, so I feel sufficiently covered. I will get much use out of these pants. I bought two pair in different colors.

These pull-on jeans ("jeans") are awesome. This is my 3rd pair! Let me offer some sizing and fit advice, because that is what I struggled with when thinking about this purchase.For the past decade I have been in the size range of about 2-14 (thanks, petite pregnancy (x3) body!) In recent years I have become size S, small, 2-4. Sometimes XS/0-2, depending on the fit of that particular brand, sometimes M/6-8, you know how it goes.So, this new pair is a size 4 and it fits *almost* perfectly (still better than any regular jeans I have). My other two pairs of these particular pants are both size 6 (fit me well in the past, between having babies and pandemic weight gain, etc.) and I keep them around because A) they are awesome "jeans" and B) I can wear them with super thick fleece leggings underneath, and stay active outside in freezing Chicago winters.Since I have ordered medium/size 6 clothes in the past, Amazon kept recommending that I get a size 6, based on my body type (even after I changed the info in my account) and "millions of reviews" or whatever. I got a size 4 instead and Amazon, you were wrong, I was right. 4 is about as perfect as I can get with my unusual body. (Meet Virginia!)For reference I am 5ft1. I weigh 135lbs today, but my typical range month-to-month is 128-138lbs (thanks, typical female body! yes, I thank my body often). I do not look like a lot of other women, or fit in the same clothes of other women who weigh the same and are the same height, it's my muscles, they are very heavy, I guess. My body is usually typed as an hourglass, but honestly my waist isn't that small, my hips are kinda narrow and my shoulders certainly appear wide to me but IDK I still wear small or xs tops and dresses and they fit fine.Jeans are UGGGHHHH. Regular jeans, it's such a struggle, regular Levi's with buttons and flys, some of the stretchy 2/26s sort of fit, and some I can't even pull all the way up. I can pull on a 4/27, but they have to have the right stretch to fit right, and if they don't have the right stretch I have to get a bigger size (6? 8 sometimes?) and they just don't look right at all. 6s just don't fit right at all, I can't describe it but you know what it's like when you pull on jeans, they're not too tight, not too loose, but they just don't FIT.MY LEGS ARE HUGE. It's really hard to find jeans and pants that fit right when you have huge strong legs and you need them to stay that way, because you bike absolutely everywhere, even in freezing Chicago winters. A size 2 *may* have fit my waist & hips a little better, but they would not have enough room in the legs and belly--my very pouchy belly, which I thank for allowing me to bear my babies--for me to be comfortable in all my various activities. I do not usually like wide leg jeans of any sort, they look ridiculous on me and I can't bike in them, either.These pants fit great and I feel like I look awesome in them. And they are so comfortable.Also, my spouse really loves the way I look in these pants. Really, really loves. Usually, said spouse does not like the look of "fake jeans" or jeggings, because real buttons and flys are sooo seggsy (eyeroll) but these are LOVE.

So, let me say that I am not a fan of these new stretchy jeans everyone is making. To me, jeans are thick denim made with 99% cotton, soft yet durable, and they do not cling to your legs. These fall somewhere between jeans and leggings, so I decided to give them a try, because in my late 40s, I want to be comfortable. I do like them, the material is soft and comfortable, and the fit from the hips down is flattering and not constricting. I have a 32" waist, so I ordered my usual size ten. The waist is comfortable, but gives me a little bit of a muffin top, so I would not wear them with a tight fitting shirt, but my usual t shirt or sweatshirt is fine. The waistband is soft and comfortable and sits right below my belly button. I might size up in the future if I decide to order again. I'll see if the waist band loosens up over time. So, these are worth a shot if they sound appealing to you. Not jeans, but nice thick leggings, very flattering, well made.**UPDATE - So, I guess I really like these jeans, because they became the only jeans I kept putting on every day. Maybe I'm asking a lot, but I want jeans durable enough to work in, yet comfortable enough to nap in as well. I still felt the waist band was too tight, so I went in with my xacto knife, and made a small incision inside the waist band, stuck my finger in, pulled out the elastic just enough to cut it, and let it go back in. It gave me about an inch more. I know I'm a bit thicker in the middle than I want to be, bit I don't need my jeans reminding me all day. Anyway, since I decided I like these, I now ordered the next size up, a 12. Much more comfortable in the waist, but now extra room in the hips and thighs. Still comfortable enough though. Reasonably priced for the material and quality.
