511 Slim
For the style guy on campus, these slim fits are worth checking out. Designed with a modern cut that will take you from the first day of class to catching up with friends, they’re built for comfort with a price point to match: $39.99 gets you a pair at Macy’s.
513 Slim Fit
Not committed to skinny jeans, but like the lean look? This straight leg take on the classic slims is polished enough for an impromptu meeting with the dean. And at $44.99 at Macy’s, it won’t even eat into your weekly pizza budget.
Cargo
For some, back to school means back to the outdoors, and Levi’s cargos were created with that in mind. Built to be functional and durable, these pants are great no matter where class takes you. Besides, who doesn’t love more pocket space? Like the 513s, these will only set you back $44.99 at Macy’s.
501 Shrink-to-Fit
For the denim purist on campus (there are always a few), these shrink-to-fits are a must-have. You know how it goes: avoid the washing machine at all costs, embrace every hole, fray, and paint splatter and the perfect pair of jeans will be yours—in six months. Sure the break-in takes a while, but your professors will understand. And at $44.99 at Macy’s, you could even start working on two pairs at once.
511 Commuter
We get it: Commuting to class by bike can do damage to your denim. Designed for those who spend most of their time on two wheels, these jeans are water resistant, dirt repellent, have reflective tape on the interior cuff, U-lock storage on the waistband, and a double-layered seat. And you didn’t think cool biking pants existed. Consider your pedal problem solved. You can pick these up for $49.99 at Macy’s.
