Customer Reviews Levi's® Plus 311 Shaping Skinny

These jeans are a pleasant surprise. I'm in my early 50s and my body is "settling" (which is a euphemism for I've let myself go) and none of my old jeans fit. But these jeans have more generous waist - plus the wiggle room that makes them SO much more comfortable than jeans that cut into the waist - yet the fit in the legs and bottom is slim. For reference I'm 5' tall, 228# (I know, don't judge) and bought the 22 short -- my first size up from 20P in many years, and carry a lot of weight in my belly. Ok, so these very comfortable, and you'll want to wear them every day, be aware that they aren't very flattering. I suggest a tunic or big shirt to wear outside the house with these. And this isn't so much a criticism of the jeans, but part of the reality of the fashion industry's tendency to make the mistake of making clothes designed for women of normal weight *larger* rather than re-imagining the opportunities for original designs for the, er, ever-expanding plus size market.

All of these jeans fit a little differently, even in the same style and size. Some are longer than others or larger at the waist so you might have to try multiple pairs. But overall these are GREAT jeans for the plus sized gal. They have enough cotton to feel “jeanish” but also have stretch. Get these now because Levi’s is going to a “waterless” Jean that has way less cotton looks incredibly cheap and tacky, and fits like leggings until it stretches like clown pants. So these that Zappos has are the last of the good ones.

Good fit for short round me. Very comfortable and S length perfect for my 5’4”.

I love these jeans. The dark blue color is very slimming and dressy. The length was just above the ankle on me since I am 5'10", but still very cute. I normally wear a size 18, but the size 20 woman fit well. The only concern I have is that the waist is a little large and slips down when I sit. Levi plus size Shaping Skinny jeans

311 style in Silver Lake. Great color and being 98% cotton a nice fabric. I will say this, the sizing seems perfect. I usually wear an 18 or 20 depending on the jean. I wear only Levi's so I've figured out how these things will fit. These are just like the older style 512 perfectly shaping skinny. Meaning they are not really skinny jeans. A very classic style. They fit a plus size person that is straight and not too curvy in hips. I did get a 20 in these since most reviews said they run small. I don't think this is true. I'm keeping them because they will shrink a bit since they are mostly cotton. If I order another pair of these I'd try the 18.

Love these Levis although they are sized small. I normally wear a 16. I wear an 18 in these jeans.

Nice jeans! These are skinny but not as snug in the calves as most Levi's skinny jeans. This works for me as I have larger calves. However, they do run a little small. I ordered one size up and they fit fine.

The fit was great and the the style fabulous. In between skinny and straight leg, perfect. Stretchy, but not baggy. Have two pair, the black and the dark rinse. These can be dressed up also. Great pair of jeans and they are Levi's, yay.

These are great! Nice change from skinny jeans, but not straight or boot. Ordered the short and they hit right at the ankle. Kind of Audrey Hepburn like. Material is great: stretchy, but not baggy. True black. Can dress up or down. Received compliments on these. Liked them so much I went back for the midnight blue. Keepers for sure.

I love these pants. I prefer lightweight material jeans because of hot flashes. I live in Florida where it do not get to cold so these were on point. The material was neither to heavy or to light. The pants fit so good in the butt area a coworker said your butt look good in them jeans and she was a women. Thank you Levis and Zappos

Fine

Soooooo comfy!!!!

The fit and size was spot on. I was able to move and bend freely without having to unzip.

1. Fit and size: Perfect! 2. Style: Fashionable button. detailing on outer seam. 3. Purchase: Awesome, extremely satisfied!

These are a great stretch skinny. They are not vanity sized, so in some brands I wear a 16 or 18 because they are cut larger...after the rona, I am a 20, pear shaped and the 20 fits well and is not binding or uncomfortable in any areas.

I'm not that curvy but I have enough for sure! These jeans are very stretchy so I could have gone down a size. Normally I wear an 18W but my past experience is Levi's used to run small now they run big. I like these but I ordered a 20W and they are much too big. I have already removed the tags so I plan to get them altered with my seamstress. If you wear a 20 and you go with a 20W, you'll have too much extra room. Next time, I plan to order an 18W which will go me lots of extra room. Great product and extremely comfortable?They seem to run big and extra stretchy. Hope this helps! ?

I love love love love these. Super comfortable!

Really nice jeans. As others have stated, they do run small. Order a size or two up.
