Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 502 Taper Jeans

Love this cut. Stylish, but not uncomfortable or too “young”.

I'm happy with these 502 jeans. They're stylish and go well with boots or sneakers. I prefer the 502's tapered leg over the 514's straight leg. Highly recommend if you're a smaller/skinnier person who likes looser/relaxed clothing, but doesn't want to appear as if they're swimming in their clothes.

This is my 5th pair of 502s that I have ordered from Zappos. The fit and variety of colors are awesome.

Awesome jeans. The navy blues fit tighter than other 502’s though.

I like these because I'm a bigger guy. I wear a size 38-40 but a lot of times the legs are too tight while the waist is fine. These do that a little bit but since they're stretchy it actually makes them very comfortable.

Great fit and comfort as I wanted a more contemporary "slim" fitted look but was used to wearing loose fits. These 502 jeans feel roomy in the thighs and seat for those with a more athletic build but taper to a thinner style through the legs which looks great. The material feels quality and has a slight stretchiness or flexibility to it so this adds to the comfort rather than feeling stiff. I picked up a pair of 541's along with these to compare and they're very similar in fit with the 541 being a slightly more generous in the thighs. They both fit me just as well so I kept both. I'm pleased with the 502's and Zappos made finding the right sizes easy as always.

I purchased 2 pair of of these jeans from another store but they didn't have navy blue. These pants fit perfectly and I have become become a huge fan of stretch jeans.

Great jean for my 7th grader who wanted a tapered (more stylish) fit that wasn't "skinny" or "slim" in the hip/butt area. He has a medium/tall build for his age and we ended up with the 30 x 32. May want to order a couple sizes to see which fits better if you're in between. That's the beauty of zappos - free returns!!!

these jeans feel very comfortable

The 502 style is perfect, great fit and comfortable with a little stretch. The material was also nice and soft.

Finally a pair of Levis that fits. I've been wearing 501s or 505s for years and they were always baggy in the legs. As a slim guy they never really fit well. The 502 style is perfect and comparable to much more expensive slim cut jeans I've recently purchased.

Love the tapered fit and the Native Cali color is a nice dark black. The material was also nice and soft.

Awesome!

Great fit, comfortable with a little stretch

nice design.

Like the jeans. Zappos picture shows them much lighter than they actually are, so not thrilled about that.

Excellent boyfriend jeans for a woman. They are mid-rise and nip in at the waist. I had to buy one size bigger than in women’s Levi’s, but they were a great alternative to the 501s I wore in high school and had to have altered at the waist. Also, I find that a little stretch makes them much easier to wear - the 501 with no stretch was decidedly hard on my knees!

I’m a woman and these are an excellent boyfriend jean at a great price. I do wish I’d ordered a size smaller - which would have been my “normal” size, but they were snug out of the package and I thought I’d rather have the waist altered than give up all the ease in the rest of the jeans. I’m typically a women’s 27 or maybe 28. Men’s jeans run narrower in the hips so I got a 29. I think a 28 would have been a better choice. Still happy with the comfort, though.

As with most brands of Levi type pants of this nature I am always wary of the fit. The inconsistency of length and width has always been an issue. With this pair I have no problem with the fit and I appreciate the slight stretch to compensate for the amount of things I put in my pockets. I would consider getting another pair.

This has been in issue with Levi's for years now, the low rise waist. As a brand Levi's, the originator of blue jeans, now caves to very generalized market trends. Whether through their advertising or their fits the have lost a lot of their blue collar customers. Case in point all of their models now sit very low on the waist, a trend that started with Jr girls pants in the early 2000's and somehow permitted the market. It's really unfortunate because Levi's is the American brand that started it all, but it you want traditional fitting, durable jeans Levi's is not the brand anymore. Even the 501's lowered the waist band. I really like the 502 jeans other than the low, low waist band. Even if you hike your jeans up it feels like your pants just aren't all the way on. Other designers know that a higher waist band is actually better looking and better fitting and more functional with pockets in the right place and zippers that are long enough to actually use. I hope Levi's goes back to a traditional waist band, one that just sits naturally at your hip. I really want to be a Levi's customer again, but every time I try a pair it's the same problem. I'm an adult man and I don't want pants that fit like children's clothing. Get back to your roots Levi's, make real denim jeans again - you will win back a lot of customers.

Different colors and fabrics in this style fit differently. We love the dark blue, denim, and brown ones but had to return the khaki because it fit a bit too tightly around the thighs. Nice pants though and a good price. Takes a bit of trial and error to find the right fit.

These pants are great however be warned that they easily shrink 2 inches in the length. Maybe a bit in the waist too.
