Different Styles of Levi's 569 Jeans
Levi Strauss began selling denim long ago and has an established name as the premier American denim company. The company has moved on from its 501 shrink-to-fit roots and now offers a wide range of fits and washes to suit the changing fashion landscape. The 569, Levi's roomy straight-leg fit, is the modern relaxed denim offering for men and boys. Does this Spark an idea?

Levi's 569 jeans are a loose, straight style available in seven washes: Dark Chipped, Off the Wall, Hitch Hiker, Rugged, Soft Rinse, Blue Steel and Onyx Black. This style is sold in both men's regular and boys' size ranges. Hip-riding 569s have a zipper fly and a medium rise with a relaxed leg and easy seat. 569s are made of 100 percent cotton and are imported.
Availability
-
The widest range of Levi's 569 jeans is available on the Levi's website. They are also sold in Levi's brand stores and outlet centers across the U.S. Because Levi's are a popular American denim brand, many chain retailers also sell the jeans, including Macy's and Walmart.

Washes
-
Most 569 washes are dark indigo blue with some distress. The Off the Wall wash has the most features, with whiskering at the thigh and obvious fading along the knee area. The Dark Chipped features a more diffused fade along most of the leg but still stays very close to dark indigo. The Rugged jean is the lightest and looks most like a classic Levi blue wash. Hitch Hiker and Onyx Black offer choices in gray or black hues.
Boys' 569 Jeans
-
For boys, Levi's offers different color options. The lightest is Faded Tint, followed by the medium-blue Faded Crosshatch. The Backstage is a mix of gray and black, and the Dark Stonewash is an intense indigo. Boys' sizes top out at size 20. The jeans are made from 100 percent cotton and have a 17.5-inch leg opening at the hem. Like the men's version, the boys' 569 rides low on the hip and falls straight and loose through the thigh.
Style Ideas
-
569 jeans are relaxed but clean looking, with a wide range of colors to suit many occasions. For casual Friday at the office, pair the Onyx Black or Dark Chipped with a button-down shirt, sweater and tie. The lighter Rugged jean is vintage in appearance, so try a softly washed fitted T-shirt and a pair of old-school sneakers for a low-key nighttime look. The Off the Wall jean is more of a fashion statement: Keep your top simple to highlight the artistic characteristics of the bleaching.
