Cute while providing coverage!

3 months ago
These are super cute and perfect for summer and concerts! The button fly gives is a nostalgic and vintage feel. The curvy fit allows me to still look cute and feel in style but still have coverage where a lot of styles lack. They are comfortable, high waisted, and durable material. I feel you can dress these up or down and can be very versitile.

My new favorite shorts!

3 months ago
I absolutely love these Levi 501 Curve Women's Shorts. They fit so good and are made very well. I love how thick the material is. I can tell these shorts will last awhile. I'm 5'10, 190lbs and got a size 33. They fit perfectly. I always have a hard time finding jean shorts that are long enough. These are the perfect length front and back. They fit great around the waist, hips and tights. I also like how there is no gap in the back. They don't have much stretch to them, so I would recommend sizing up. They're so comfortable to wear and are definitely going to be my new favorite shorts. They are on the pricey side but well worth it. I highly recommend.

Comfortable and cute!

4 months ago
I’m in love with these shorts! I’ve always loved my Levi jeans but never tried their shorts until now. These are so comfortable! I love the loose fit around the legs and the flattering waist. They are just the right length for me, not too short and not too long. They’re easy to button and the waist does have some stretch to it which is great because it means they’re still comfortable when I sit down. The shorts feel very well made and I love the raw hem and the large pockets. This color is a very pretty cross between tan and grey. Super cute! My only complaint is that Levi’s run a couple sizes smaller than other brands, but once you figure out your size, the rest of the brand is pretty predictable!

Love these curvy shorts!

4 months ago
These shorts are adorable! I’m 5’ 2” measurements hip 37, waist 30, thighs 24 and 135lbs. I got size 30s and they fit perfect in the waist and the leg openings I will say are pretty wide! They feel a bit stiff before washing but once they were cleaned they fit better! I will be buying another set just in a lighter color.

No more waist gap for me!

4 months ago
I was so excited to test these shorts because pants don't fit me and I wondered if curvy fit is better. I am typically considered an "hourglass" or sometimes pear shape, with waist significantly smaller than my hips and thighs. This means things that fit my waist typically don't pull up past my thighs and hips, otherwise there's a huge gap. I ordered in my typical size, a 27 (when I measure I'm probably closer to a 28-29" waist if I relax). The shorts button up versus zip and they fit like a glove on my waist with comfortable space on my hips and thighs. I maybe could have gone up one size for a looser fit at the waist but I truly think this feels comfortable so far. These only have like 1% elastane, so the fabric doesn't stretch and feels like true denim, which will probably remain more durable. I like that the cut/length of the shorts gets a little longer in between the legs so they don't ride up in the crotch. I'm really excited to wear these more in the summer and to know the Levi 501 curve shorts work for me!

Durable material, fits curving body types perfectl

4 months ago
I live in jean shorts for most of the year. I was very excited to receive Levi’s 501 curve shorts complimentary in exchange for my honest review. These dark indigo jean shorts are very comfortable. I was impressed on how durable the material is and yet it is flexible to move with my body. With a slim waist, the hip curves to fit my curvy body type. I typically wear a size 29, and these shorts are true to size. These shorts have a button fly. This is my first time attempting to wear button fly shorts. At first, it took me some time to button all five buttons, but by the end of the first day , I felt like a pro. These shorts have a distressed look and the rips are in all the right places. I particularly like the look of the distressed rips on the back pockets. These jean shorts look great with a basic tee and flats. I also noticed that the material relaxed a bit after some wear and is quite comfortable to wear. I was very impressed with the attention detail of these shorts. Every seam and every stitch is perfect quality.

Love Levi short Jeans

The fitted shorts are an excellent fit for me. They are comfortable to wear and not too tight around the waist. The pockets are spacious and narrow enough to hold a phone.

Not as high waisted as others

5 days ago
They fit great but because I have a long torso they do not fit me quite as high waisted, unfortunately. The top sits right at/slightly below my belly button. I have other high waisted shorts that sit above the belly button which is what I prefer to help balance my shape. I wish all “high-waisted” were the same. Other than that, they fit great.

These are super cute! Love the cut of them and the color. They fit my waist to hip ratio super well. Only thing I don’t like is there are lots of buttons instead of a zipper.

they fit! they do stretch though

I'm so happy that these are ever so slightly longer than reg 501 shorts, definitely helps with larger thighs. They fit perfectly when I bought them, but definitely loosen with wear, so if they it juuust right in the fitting room, consider sizing one down. Overall, I'm pretty happy though

I love how these look on me and hug my body in the right way. I will say the only downside is they are different sizing than my others Levi’s so had to exchange for a different size. But once I had the correct size I was good!

Stylish but run tight.

I am 5 foot 8 and 160 lbs. this style fit tight. I am usually a size 29 or 30, but I would recommend sizing up. I got a size 30 and they fit a little snug in the belly and pull into my bottom. These Levi’s 501 Curve Shorts are stylish and looked trendy!

Super cute jean shorts, but you may need to size u

4 months ago
These are the cutest and sturdiest jean shorts! I absolutely love the hidden button fly. I will say that I am a true curvy girl, so with "Curve" in the name, I was hoping these would have a bit of stretch to them. They do not! For that reason, I did take one star off. I think I will need to size up at least 2 sizes, unfortunately!

Comfortable and stylish!

4 months ago
I’m very impressed with the sizing and fit of the Levi’s 501 curve women’s shorts. These are comfortable, flattering, and fit nicely around my waist. Even though I am tall with longer legs, these high waisted shorts are still plenty long and don’t bunch up on me throughout the day. I ordered my normal size and they are true to fit. The style of these I found to be fashionable with a faded denim look and fringed hems. The quality is superb, and will hold up well with time and washing.

Levi’s always is top notch quality and this curvy

4 months ago
Levi’s is my go to forever and always, they are so well made and such a quality company with equally quality products. I’ve never found a pair of Levi’s and thought wow this is going down hill. My vintage Levi’s are all incredible even, I don’t really know another brand that can do what they do, which is be so consistent with such quality products for hundreds of years- 172 year old company that hasn’t faltered ever. These are dreamy, my body type really loves this curvy fit of shorts. Classic 501’s with a curvy shape is just absolutely gorgeous on me, I feel so beautiful in them. I love the color, the fit, the quality and overall vibe of them. The one star I did take away is just the buttons, I like they covered them at least but I always prefer a zipper personally. They have nice pockets which women absolutely deserve (right?!) and are incredibly comfortable and don’t rise up and pull on me like other shorts do. These are so cute I will be getting them in a denim blue too because they suit my body so well right now. I lost some weight and this was the first thing I’ve put on that made me feel like myself again, and that’s what truly matters. Love you Levi’s!

Cute and comfortable minus the extra buttons

4 months ago
Comfortable shorts. I like the fit around the thighs and butt. They have a nice little stretch to them. I have a very curvy, hourglass waist, so I always disliked having pants and shorts that were so baggy by my waist or too tight around my thighs. These are nice! They fit comfortably, the material feels nice and durable. I like the stitching around the bottom of the shorts, so they don’t roll up or fold when walking. They aren’t a heavy fabric, so will be good for summer. I don’t like the buttons, however. There are 4 inside buttons below the top button. They are hidden by the fabric, but still, I don’t like it. I don’t want to have to undo and redo 5 buttons during restroom breaks or changing. But, I’ll deal with it, because I like these shorts otherwise.

I like the color wash and the style of these shorts. They are versatile with many outfits. I didn’t care for the buttons, wished it was a zipper instead. I ordered my size but they are a little snug at the waist but still fits.

Wish they covered my behind

4 months ago
The size 27 fits good around the waist and thighs but the back looks very short and shows my behind. I wish they weren't short on my behind because these would've been perfect for me. What got me ordering because the darker blue the color one step down from the light bleached wash was perfect for me it covered my behind really well and fit around my thighs perfectly.
