- How does the 550 fit compare with the 501?
- The 550 is roomier in the seat and thigh than the 501 and tapers slightly below the knee. The 501 is a straighter, trimmer cut through the leg.
- Is the 550 the same as the 505?
- No. The 505 is a regular fit with a straighter leg. The 550 is more relaxed through the hip and thigh.
- Does the 550 have stretch?
- The standard cotton version has little to no stretch. Some 550 variants use stretch denim, so check the fabric content on the pair you pick.
- Should I size down?
- Many buyers stay with their usual Levi's waist size, but some who want a trimmer look go down one size. The relaxed cut leaves room if you are between sizes.
- What rise does it have?
- It sits at the waist, higher than low-rise cuts and similar to classic Levi's styles.
- How should I care for them?
- Wash cold and inside out, and tumble dry low or hang dry to limit shrinkage and fading.
- Where is the Levi's 550 Relaxed Jeans cheapest?
- At Belk, for $41.70, as of our latest check.
