To be totally honest, I saw a picture of myself with my 1.5 year old son and I was shocked at how bad my previous shorts looked. I decided it was time for some longer shorts for this new era haha! These are way softer than my other Levi’s and super comfortable. I am wearing my normal size 25s and the fit is perfect.

Love the brown! Order up!

11 months ago
Love love the sorrel brown color, very cool look. I am 5’4” tall, 130 lbs and typically wear a size 27 or 26 depending. My waist is 27” and 36” hip. I bought these is a size 27 because I didn’t want them to be tight - they were. I exchanged for a size 28 and I wear them all the time! I don’t think these I’d of shirts look good tight/fitted so a size 28 was a good choice for me. They aren’t loose but they aren’t super fitted either.

Love Love!

5 ft 115 lbs. Ordered a size 25 in both. I bought the Luxor last color and it is like a whole size too big, so I ordered another size smaller and I'm hoping that will fit better. I also ordered the Sorrel Horse and it fits perfectly. Love these shorts and never want to take them off. 10/10 will buy every color. Also love that they have a hem on them, I strongly dislike raw hem.

These are my favorite shorts, but the absolutely run small. That being said I normally wear a size 30 and I sized up to a 33 inch n these. They are super comfortable, perfect length and very flattering with lots of different tops.

Love the embroidery

Embroidery is beautiful in person. Looks and feels high quality. These shorts fit a bit more snug (in waist and thigh) compared to other Levi’s shorts I have in the same size. Still keeping them and hope they break in just a bit.
