Awesome pair of shorts, great length!

a year ago

It's a terrific pair of shorts! I love the color, but be cautious because the brown dye can transfer onto lighter clothing. I figure it won't be a problem after a few washings. I was concerned about the sizing after reading a few reviews, but the size was spot-on for me.

These are my new favorite denim shorts. I ordered 2 different sizes because of the reviews. I ordered one size up and the other 2 sizes up from my actual size with the intention of returning the one that didn’t fit. They both fit, so I’m keeping them!!

Perfect modest but youthful jean

a year ago

I am 5'5" and 120 lbs and I ordered my normal size 25 and it fits great. I got the no stretch blue beauty and the no damage white -- both are beautiful. The denim color are a bit thicker and the white feel a little more stretchy, but not too much. I am 37 and love these for my lifestyle as a mom of 2 who likes to feel modest but youthful. I am also sporting short 501 cut offs still so this feels like a good balance to have in my closet. PS. my butt looks great in them!

Gorgeous cut and embroidery

a year ago

Fab fit, true to size. I have Levis 26 to 30 depending on model. I chose Utopia jean in 30 to wear on hips, got 29 in shorts to not wear so loose. Actually fit better than the jean version - button fly sits more flush on the short. Waistband great fit and embroidery is so fun. Very flattering length. Can be rolled up also if wanted.

My favorite jean shorts so far!

2 years ago

This was my first Levi's purchase and I was looking for a longer jean short that hugs nicely but isn't too tight or uncomfortable. I can safely say these are exactly what I was looking for! They have the perfect amount of stretch without losing their shape. These are going to be my new summer staple.
