Levi's 550: The Original Relaxed Fit

The Story: The Comfort Revolution of 1985

The Levi's 550 was born in 1985 to offer a softer, roomier alternative to classic fits. In a decade dominated by bold styles, the 550 introduced the concept of absolute comfort, quickly becoming the iconic uniform of the "relaxed" look.

Beloved in the '90s by skate and hip-hop culture for its freedom of movement, today the 550 has returned to being an essential archive piece for those who want a voluminous, authentic and decidedly vintage silhouette.

The Fit: Baggy and Comfortable

The 550 is designed for those who want no restrictions. It's the perfect jean for those with an athletic build or simply those who like to wear loose-fitting jeans.

RELAXED FIT: Generous room through the hips and thighs. This is the loosest fit in the classic Levi's family.

TAPERED LEG: Despite their superior comfort, the leg tapers slightly towards the ankle. This prevents the jeans from looking sloppy, maintaining a defined shape.

HIGH WAIST (HIGH RISE): Sits at the natural waist, offering that signature '80s and '90s fit that looks good with everything from tucked-in t-shirts to oversized sweaters.

ZIPPER CLOSURE: Like most models born after the 501, the 550 is equipped with a practical and sturdy zipper.
