I usually have trouble finding Levi's skinny jeans that fit perfectly, because they're usually cut too tight around the waist and not tight enough on the thighs, and that just does not look good. I've only had luck with their 504 slouch skinny jeans that they've discontinued (why? I'll never know). I was browsing Amazon and Ebay for some 504 slouch straight jeans, which I like, but they fit wayyyy looser than the 504 slouch skinny (the slouch straights look great if you're wearing boots underneath BTW), so I started looking at some other Levi's skinny jeans and saw the 524's. I decided to give them a try because they had such good reviews, Levi's size 2S usually fits me, depending on the style of course, sometimes they're way too loose, or the waist is too tight, but anyway, I tried the 1M but it was too tight around the waist so I got a size 3S in the Premium Dark wash and it fit perfectly, it fit even better than the 504 skinny's that I had! So I went back and ordered 2 more of them. I also tried getting a black pair in 3M thinking that I could simply hem the bottom, but it fit way looser than the 3S so I returned them. Depending on the length, these jeans are cut very differently, I don't always notice the difference in the cut between a short and a medium but with these jeans they are SIGNIFICANTLY different, so be careful when you buy them.
