Trendy & comfortable shorts

a month ago
Based on the reviews available, I sized up two sizes and ordered the Donate Next shorts in a size 32. I typically wear an 8–10/M in bottoms, and I'm 4'11", 130 lbs, with a postpartum body. They fit perfectly, comfortably high-waisted with a button fly and a flattering fit through the leg that wasn't too tight or too loose. I felt confident and comfortable wearing them all day. I love the mid-thigh length, but I cuffed them in my photo because it was hot in Florida. They stayed rolled up from 6 am to 11 pm, which was a nice bonus. The waistband relaxed slightly throughout the day, but the shorts stayed comfortable without stretching out or losing their shape like some denim does. They wash well and air dry nicely. They feel a bit stiff after air drying but soften quickly with a few minutes on low heat in the dryer with wool dryer balls. I like the Levis 501 mid-thigh shorts so much that I ordered another pair in a different wash.

Love how comfy they are!

a month ago
I usually struggle with bottoms as I have a small waist and large hips, but these shorts are surprisingly comfortable and fit perfect. The trick is to get the ones that have a bit of stretch. Will definitely get more in other colors.

Great Mom Jean Shorts

These shorts are a great pair to add into my summer rotation. They are sturdy but comfy and will last a long time. I love the length, too. I have long legs, so a longer inseam is a must for me.

Classic hit

2 months ago
Child of the 80’s I wore 501’s all the time. Now 5 children later I decided to give them another try after seeing that my daughter had a pair. I LOVE them, I am not the size 4 I used to be but the fit is still super comfy and the length is good for my “not showing my cheeks” liking. I will definitely be ordering more.

These shorts are very comfortable they are at finger length. True to the size of the chart. The waistband did not stretch. They were washed a couple of times and kept their color, and shape.

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 months 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).

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.
