For try-before-you-buy, the flagship at 22 Grafton Street, Dublin (Levi’s Grafton Street (Dublin store locator)) is the only full-price standalone store. Concessions inside Brown Thomas (Arnotts (part of Brown Thomas group)) in Dublin and Cork carry a curated selection.

What are the best Levi’s jeans for women in Ireland?
Popular fits: 501, 721, 311
- 501 Original Fit – The iconic straight leg, high rise. Prices hover around €100–€120. At Very.ie, the 501 Curve Jeans were €96 on sale (Very IE (women’s Levi’s)).
- 721 High Rise Skinny – Form-fitting with a high waist. Typically €100–€120.
- 311 Shaping Skinny – Mid rise with smoothing panels. Around €90–€110.
Rise options: high, mid, low
Levi’s offers high (501, 721), mid (311, 710 Super Skinny), and low (low-rise 501 recently revived). For curvy women, the 724 High-Rise Straight Leg Skinny Fit at Arnotts (€120.00) provides extra room through the hip (Arnotts (Levi’s collection)).
Fabric and stretch considerations
Most Levi’s women’s jeans now include 1–2% elastane for comfort. The 501 Original remains 100% cotton for a classic rigid feel. If you prefer stretch, the 721 or 311 are better picks.
The trade-off: Rigid denim (501) holds shape longer but takes breaking in. Stretch fits (721, 311) are more forgiving day one but may sag by evening. Try both at Brown Thomas before committing.
Which Levi’s jeans are best for men?
Classic 501, 511 slim, 512 slim taper
- 501 Original Fit – Straight leg, regular rise. Price on About You Ireland: €109.00 (About You Ireland (men’s Levi’s)). Sports Direct stocks them for €88.00.
- 511 Slim Fit – Tapered from knee to ankle. Around €100–€120.
- 512 Slim Taper – Slim through thigh, even narrower leg opening. Similar price range.
Washed vs. raw denim
Most Irish retailers carry washed jeans (pre-distressed). Raw denim is harder to find — check the Levi’s Made & Crafted line (premium raw denim) for selvedge options.
Sizing advice
Levi’s waist sizes in inches. The 512 and 511 run true to size; the 501 can stretch about half an inch. If between sizes, go with the larger and use a belt.
What this means: For a classic straight cut, the 501 is unbeatable. For a modern slim profile, the 511 is Ireland’s top seller. Check Sports Direct or JD Sports for often the lowest prices on 501s.
How much do Levi’s jeans cost in Ireland?
- Official Levi’s IE prices: €110.00 for 501 Original, €60.00 for 505 Regular (Levi’s IE (men’s jeans)).
