The Levi's® 516™ Straight Fit Jean is a versatile everyday denim style that combines a classic straight leg with a slightly more streamlined silhouette. Sitting below the waist and cut slim through the hip and thigh, it offers a clean fit without the tapered shape of a slim jean.
Crafted from Comfort Stretch denim with 99% cotton and 1% LYCRA®, the 516™ provides added flexibility for comfortable everyday movement while retaining the authentic look and structure of classic Levi's® denim. The Ready Rinse finish delivers a clean dark blue wash with minimal fading, making these jeans easy to dress up or down. The 516™ is also the updated style to consider for customers who previously wore the Levi's® 504™.

Common Customer Questions
Are the Levi's® 516™ the replacement for the old 504™ jeans?
The 516™ is the updated style to consider if you previously wore the Levi's® 504™. It offers a similarly streamlined straight fit, sitting below the waist with a slim cut through the hip and thigh and a straight leg.
What colour is Ready Rinse?
Ready Rinse is a clean, dark blue denim wash with minimal fading. It offers a smarter, more polished appearance than a heavily washed or faded jean while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear.
What's the difference between the Levi's® 516™ and 511™?
The 516™ has a straight leg with more room through the lower leg, while the 511™ has a slimmer, more tapered silhouette. The 516™ is better suited to customers wanting a streamlined version of a classic straight jean.
Do the Levi's® 516™ jeans stretch?
Yes. They're made with Comfort Stretch denim containing 1% LYCRA®, adding flexibility and comfort while retaining the structure and appearance of traditional denim.
What can I wear with Ready Rinse jeans?
For casual outfits, pair them with a T-shirt, polo, rugby shirt, or casual button-down and sneakers. The darker wash also works particularly well with a collared shirt, quarter-zip knit, sports jacket, or leather boots for a smarter look.
How should I care for them?
Levi's® recommends washing jeans no more than once every 10 wears where practical. Machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry medium and warm iron if required.
