Ready for the summertime

I wasn’t sure if it was going to fit but it fits perfectly and i love the material and the buttons to close instead of zipper which makes it better because sometimes the zipper gets stuck

Go Buy Them!!

16 days ago
The denim feels sturdy and high quality it give that vintage true levi feel for sure, the wash color is really nice as well. They sit sit well at the waist but not much stretch honestly, but after a few wears they should fit relaxed a little bit and size up if u going for just a more relaxed look if u willing to buy these and the pockets on them are deep so nothing can fall out!

So cute and so comfy!

16 days ago
These are SO CUTE and SO COMFORTABLE. I'm 5'2", 125-130 pounds and ordered a size 28 for a slightly roomier fit. These shorts are wonderful - they are so cute and so comfortable. The cut makes me look taller than usual. Perfect for casual wear and going-out wear. The waist goes above my belly button and the back pocket is big enough to fit my Galaxy S25 Ultra in. There is no zipper, but a set of hidden buttons (see pictures) with one visible button. Didn't ride up for me!

So comfy and stylish

16 days ago
I ordered a size 30 just to make sure I had enough room. Normally wear a size 4 or medium in pants. I would say they fit a little larger and could have gone with the size 29. But I like them and they are comfy. The fabric is nice and thick. And the black color is slightly more of the faded look. Nice deep pockets and button closure. I haven’t washed them yet but Levi’s is a well trusted brand that I won’t have any problems with when it comes to durability. You can wear these with anything to dress them up or dress them down and I feel that is a major plus.

So comfortable

16 days ago
First of all the cut on these the length are so perfect. They are so appropriate for every day wear anywhere except church lol they say it’s only one percent stretch but baby they’re more stretchy than you would think so definitely go for your exact size. I love these they are made of such a great material. These are probably my new favorite shorts.

It’s a very cute white short that could goes with a lot of things. It could goes with oversized top, tank top, and shirt. The style run a bit big, I would size down. Overall it’s a cute short.

High quality and perfect fit

16 days ago
1st time wearing Levi's shorts. Little stiff at 1st but after washed they were perfect. Great quality and top notch fabric. Did not seem to stretch much but fit perfect. Wasn't sure if paying a higher price was worth it, but definitely is. Very high quality. I will definitely buy more now that I tried a pair.

Incredible Shorts!!!

17 days ago
I actually love these shorts! I am on the curvier/thicker side and other jeans from Levis have not been the best fit because they are the OG jean material with no stretch. I am so glad I tried these shorts because the material is thick but stretchy. The denim is soft to the touch. These do not have a zipper but the buttons in its place are easy to button up and do not open up. I cant wait to try other colors!!!

Perfect summer denim

18 days ago
These shorts are soooo cute. I love how classic the style is, they feel like the ribcage jeans as they have multiple buttons to close the waist. They are so durable and feel sturdy. They also make my rear end look great.

501s for ever!

a month ago
Love the New Look Dark Wash! Just got out my summer clothes and I have a plethora of 501 shorts in 28 and 29. For buyers, they do stretch. I have 28s from 10 years ago that are now a good 3 inches bigger than the 29s that just arrived. After wash, use a wooden hanger to stretch to your content and eureka! I've got a size 30 on the way (the largest I've ever ordered) to see if they fit loosely on the go. Thanks Levi's for the great sale!

Make more clean cut hemmed shorts

Its a really great fitting short but its sad that there are only 2 options for a clean hem. Not everyone wants to walk around with broken looking shorts.

Yes, I recommend this product.
