Comfortable, great fit!

16 hours ago
Super comfortable. Love the fit and feel. Good length, too. I didn’t pay great attention to the description of the shorts, so just beware they are a button fly, not a zipper!

Soft feel, flattering fit

2 days ago
This is my first pair of Levi’s and I have been convinced the price tag is so worth it!!! I sized up one size and got a 32 rather than a 31 (size 12, which is my usual size). It was slightly snug but it stretches out comfortably throughout the day. It has a very soft feel to it, and is soft against my skin. I don’t have much of a behind, but it hugged my hips and curves perfectly. I was shocked to find not one button and a zipper, but six buttons! Which, I will say, are a little difficult to fasten with long nails. All in all, I would purchase another pair (but may size up to a 33).

Quality denim short!

7 days ago
Great length and color. Rigid denim with button fly has great fading and style. Wears well with summer sweater, slouch socks for a laidback preppy vibe.

Comfiest shorts ever

a month ago
These shorts not only have a great fit but they are so comfy. They don’t ride up on my thighs and have just enough stretch that I can move so easily. I’ll be wearing these all summer!
