Levi's Goes Back To Its Roots To Try To Stay Current
Levi Strauss is the leading jeans brand in the world, but has had a troubled recent past. (Photo by ... More) Much has been written about the challenges facing legacy brands in today's hyper-competitive business environment. Often, the comments refer to technology companies that once seemed all-conquering and then fail to keep up with developments and find themselves outflanked. Think Nokia, BlackBerry and Intel. But retail, where customers can be especially fickle, is also highly vulnerable. Consider the recent struggles of The Gap and J Crew, to name but two former success stories that have lately found the going hard. For the jeans maker Levi Strauss, though, the challenge is especially tough since it has to balance its heritage — it claims to have invented the blue jean in 1873 — with keeping up with fashion. And it is fair to say that in recent years that has been something of a struggle. Originally listed on the stock market in the U.S. in 1971, the San Francisco-based company was taken private by the founder's family in 1985, only to return to the public market in 2019. But, whether in public or private hands and whether run by the family or professional managers, it has battled with increasing competition from both budget lines and, increasingly, premium denim brands and a perception that its customer base is made up of ageing baby boomers. However, the company currently appears to be enjoying something of a renaissance. A process of transforming the group that began under former chief executive Chip Bergh has been continued by Michelle Gass, who became chief executive in January 2024 after joining the company as president from the retailer Kohl's the previous year. Crucially, it is based on a realization that the way to move forward was to reconnect with the company's origins. It has abandoned its budget denim lines, sold the struggling chinos brand Dockers and — while it has a foot in the activewear camp through ownership of Beyond Yoga — is focusing on promoting quality denim clothing at affordable prices as epitomised by its iconic 501 brand. And the fruits of this strategy can be seen in results for the second quarter of the financial year published earlier this month. Revenue was up 6.4% from a year ago, to $1.45 billion, while margins expanded to a record 62.6% and earnings per share were up 37%. With the company's share price up more than a fifth this year, its market value is now $8.3bn, below its peak, but well up on the $5.3bn of a couple of years ago. Moreover, executives are sufficiently confident that they have raised revenue and earnings per share expectations for the full year. The global performance was matched by that in Europe where Lucia Marcuzzo has been the region's managing director since the spring of last year. An executive with more than two decades' experience in the denim sector — she was head of retail at Diesel before joining Levi's European operation, initially as vice-president in charge of retail — she is clearly proud of the strong growth 'in a challenging environment.' In an interview in London earlier this month, Marcuzzo explained the elements of the strategy and how they were paying off. Speaking in the private Haus of Strauss reception area where Levi's invites celebrities and other special customers to select personalised items, she explained that she felt being an icon and a centre of culture mattered. 'Not only mirroring the culture but contributing to shaping the culture' was a key part of building a coherent brand that connected 'generation after generation.' As evidence, she pointed to how the company had collaborated with Beyonce´, a long-time fan, after getting a hint that the company would be referenced in a song on her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Similarly, Noel Gallagher visited the Haus of Strauss to select the shirt he wore for the first of the Oasis comeback concerts. Last month, Levi's played a central part at the Primavera Festival in Barcelona. Another collaboration, with the shoe company Nike, sold out in nine minutes and forced the closure of the store in London's Regent Street. But this is about more than seeking to be cool with the young crowd. The connection with customers means that the company has more than 38 million members of its loyalty scheme around the world, with nearly 14 million in Europe. 'It's a source of insights. We learn from them what they want,' explains Marcuzzo. Although some might feel that the stores are geared too much to younger consumers, she insists that people of all ages visit them. Great effort is taken to train staff to ensure they provide good service, with a particular emphasis on giving women the service they want, while store managers are treated as if they are 'CEOs of their stores' and are able to choose which items to stock based on local demands with the aim of making them more engaged. Those that want an even more bespoke service can opt to have their jeans or jackets made to measure at one of the Lot 1 studios in London and a handful of other cities around the world. Moreover, the focus on direct to consumer that is a key part of the strategy means that the company's website is enhanced by AI and other technologies to give the customer similar advice on fit and size to that they would receive in-store. At the same time, the decision to rationalise its warehousing into one location for online and in-store sales means that there should be no delay in receiving items ordered online. That said, 60% of customers are still buying in 'multi-brand environments.' While the company is now more likely to end relationships than open new ones, it recognizes that every element has a role to play and works hard to support partners — whether large department stores such as London's Selfridges, smaller high street shops or online retailers. 'Our mindset is to have a direct connection with the customer no matter where they buy,' says Marcuzzo. Having all stock in once place also enables the company to be faster to market and to respond to information it receives from staff via its internal social media. 'We are doubling down on tools that serve the purpose of building more agility. We are pushing decisions closer to the customer and empowering stores,' she adds. In addition, the company is looking to add to its offering. The global leader in jeans, it is renowned for innovations in fabrics and colours and sees opportunities in the market for tops. It is also very much targeting women customers. No doubt with one eye on its premium competitors, it is in the autumn launching a limited edition Blue Tab line that will utilize sought-after Japanese denim to offer 'quality at an affordable price.' And there will be more, carefully-chosen, collaborations. But Marcuzzo and her colleagues on the executive team are only too aware of the harsh realities of the current business climate. 'The new norm is resilience and agility,' she says. 'While we have a strategy, we are constantly adjusting.' In keeping with this, the company has a diversified supply chain and — while the recent results acknowledged the potential impact of tariffs (with jeans specifically mentioned in the tit-for-tat between the U.S. and the E.U.) — Marcuzzo stresses that the European business does not import from the U.S.. Even here, though, she sees a potential upside. 'In times of uncertainty, people revert to brands they trust,' she says.

I'm a shopping editor and these are the loose-fitting pants I'm wearing instead of shorts — starting at $18
Shorts and I aren't really on speaking terms these days. They don't quite give me the kind of coverage I want, now that I'm at the age where showing skin is no longer a priority. I love my drapey dresses for that reason, but sometimes I just want to pull on a pair of pants and go. As a shopping editor, my goal is always to find pieces that blend comfort, style and staying power that you (and I) will like. With the heat waves ahead in mind, I've rounded up 10 loose-fitting pants to swap for the shorts that are taking up too much real estate in my closet. From Yahoo reader-favorite brands like Spanx, Loft and these picks are comfortable, breathable and start at just $18. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

I Refuse to Check a Bag This Summer—so I'm Only Packing These Capsule Wardrobe Basics That Work for Any Trip
After too many jet bridges spent gate-checking a bulging roller bag and one too many hours waiting at a luggage carousel, I've officially downsized my overpacking ways, at least for my trips to Europe. This summer, I challenged myself to pack smarter, lighter, and more intentionally. The result? A carry-on-friendly capsule wardrobe that's stylish enough for rooftop dinners in Barcelona, breathable enough for sweaty museum hops in Florence, and polished enough for feeling like a local in Paris. Built around versatile silhouettes, natural fabrics, and neutral tones that play well together, this edit is proof that less really is more, especially when every piece earns its place. Below is the wardrobe I'll be wearing on repeat from now through September, no matter the destination. Bon voyage, baggage fees! Credit: Quince Credit: Amazon Credit: Credit: Old Navy Linen dresses are my ultimate travel lifesaver. Whether I'm sweating it out chasing my daughter through the crowded streets of Florence or dressed up for a captain's dinner on a Mediterranean cruise, they keep me comfortable and looking good. The breathable fabric lets my skin breathe during those hot, busy days, and the natural texture gives off that effortlessly chic vibe that feels perfectly at home across Europe. Plus, they are slightly more resistant to wrinkling, which is a game changer for people who are constantly a bit of a stressed-out hot mess (like me). Credit: Rothys $149 $119 at Nordstrom View on Credit: Amazon Credit: Birdies Credit: Vionic $130 $60 at Amazon View on When my itinerary involves everything from racing through airport security to wandering cobblestone streets and making business dinner appointments, my shoes have to be up for the challenge. I'll never forget sprinting to catch an almost-missed flight in Madrid, and my Rothy's slip-ons saved me at security, letting me slide them off and on in seconds without fumbling with laces or buckles. Generally speaking, slip-on shoes are lightweight and easy to pack, yet comfortable enough to carry me through long days of sightseeing. Best of all, their sleek design means I never have to sacrifice style for practicality, whether I'm darting through terminals, strolling historic city centers, or stepping into a cozy neighborhood trattoria; these shoes effortlessly transition from day to night without literally no fuss. Credit: Abercrombie & Fitch Credit: Amazon Credit: Buck Mason Credit: Amazon Matching sets have become my entire identity, and it's because they're so darn easy (to both wear and style). They take the guesswork out of packing and dressing, lightweight and breathable, they're perfect for sunny afternoons wandering markets or casual dinners in a new city. I wore my Buck Mason linen set while strolling through Paris and actually got compliments from locals (it was all in French, but she was smiling). As an American, I took that as the ultimate win. For beach days or poolside lounging, a set that doubles as a swim cover-up and a statement piece means less to pack and more versatility. And when it's time to relax, cozy yet chic matching loungewear keeps me comfortable without sacrificing style during downtime or travel days. Credit: Summersalt Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince Credit: Athleta When I'm packing for Europe—or literally anywhere these days—the oversized shirt is non-negotiable. It's light, breathable, and perfect for those unpredictable days during travel when you start with a morning museum visit and end up at a sunset terrace. I love wearing it unbuttoned over a linen dress for that effortlessly cool, layered look that's so quintessentially European. It's also my go-to for breezy mornings along the Seine or wandering cobblestone streets in Rome. Plus, it doubles as a beach cover-up, which is a double win in my opinion. Credit: Quince Credit: Nordstrom Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon As you can probably tell, linen is one of my favorite fabrics for summer, and there are a lot of reasons why. It's an ultra-breathable fabric that keeps me cool when I'm running around the sun-soaked cities of Barcelona, Santorini, and Rome. I also love how linen pants are endlessly easy to style. Although I often pair them with a tucked-in tee or an oversized shirt, they're just as cute with a breezy silk blouse or cropped cardi. As someone trying to live out of a carry-on, I also adore how they fold down small and get that coveted worn-in, wrinkled-in-the-best-way look, so they're a dream to pack. Credit: Tuckernuck Credit: Vineyard Vines View on Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince I've always loved dresses—maybe a little too much, considering I have over 125 in my closet. But when it comes to packing light for Europe, a floral maxi dress always makes the cut. It's effortlessly versatile: easy to dress down with sandals for wandering art galleries or dress up with heels and delicate gold jewelry for a night out in Italy. The ones I love move with me, and fit and flatter, even after an extra plate of pasta or extra glass of wine. The floral prints just feel right everywhere, from the lavender fields of Provence to the vibrant streets of Lisbon, and the lightweight fabric keeps me cool in the hottest temperatures. Plus, since it's all in one piece, it takes up less space in my suitcase than a full outfit would, making packing way easier. Credit: Vuori View on Credit: Quince Credit: Amazon Credit: A&F Like jeans, tailored pants are one of those pieces that instantly upgrade any look, but they don't add bulk to an already-crammed carry-on (or weigh it down). What I love most about these wardrobe staples is how easy they are to dress up or down. Throw on a crisp white tee or crop top for a casual daytime vibe, or pair them with a sleek vest and delicate gold jewelry for something sharper when you want to turn heads. They strike the perfect balance between polished and relaxed. Plus, they're seriously on-trend right now: clean lines, high-waisted fits, and a modern silhouette that's both timeless and fresh. And, as an almost 40-year-old who works alongside that generation, a nod from them always makes my day. Best of all, tailored pants help me blend right in with locals in Italy and France, where effortless 'clean girl' chic is basically a lifestyle. Credit: Gap Credit: Amazon Credit: Quince Credit: lululemon I'm an old lady in the sense that I always need a cardigan (or a sweater). Especially in Europe, where it goes from 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the day to 55 degrees Fahrenheit at night, depending on where you are. These cute crop styles give me just the right amount of warmth without feeling bulky, perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with jeans for a casual but put-together look. I love how the shorter length keeps things modern and flattering, so I never feel swallowed up by fabric. Plus, it's lightweight and folds easily into my suitcase, but is still cozy enough to keep me comfortable on planes when it's often Arctic cold. Credit: Quince Credit: Tuckernuck Credit: lululemon Credit: Amazon Whenever I'm traveling abroad, a crossbody bag is non-negotiable, and not just for the hands-free convenience but for the added security against pickpockets. When in Paris with my mom, the crossbody bag was what saved my mom from losing her entire bag (wallet and passport included) to thieves. I love how these bags work with just about any outfit, whether I'm in tailored pants and a blouse or a breezy linen dress. Despite their compact size and minimal suitcase footprint, they surprise me by fitting all the essentials: wallet, phone, sunglasses, and even my small Sony mirrorless camera. Love a great deal?
