Description
The Levi’s 517 is one of the best-known bootcut silhouettes in denim, and it has never really gone out of style. Levi’s describes the 517 as slim through the thigh with a wider leg designed to fit over boots, and that simple formula is what gives the jean its character: fitted where it counts, then flaring gently from the knee to a generous hem.
The 517 carries a strong western and seventies feel. The mid rise sits comfortably at the waist, the seat and thigh stay trim, and the bootcut opening creates a long, lean line that looks especially good with a slight break over the shoe. It is a jean with attitude, but an easy one to wear.
Style it the classic way with a pair of leather boots and a denim or suede jacket, or bring it into a modern wardrobe with a fitted polo and a clean white trainer. A full-zip hoodie or a track jacket on top keeps the look casual, while a knit sweater tucked at the waist highlights the flare.
Offered in a Universal Size as part of the Vintage 98S denim edit. Sizing and shipping details are listed above and prices display in your local currency.
