Fun shorts for vacation with my wife.

7 months ago
Good fit for my wife- she grabbed a size 25 (26.25 inch waist per Levi’s size chart). She is five foot, 10 inches tall and athletic/slim build. Sizing seems to be in keeping with the size chart online. They are high cotton content denim, so they will “wear in” slightly with time.
Q: What size do you usually wear?
A: Size 2 or size 25 to 26 in Levi’s
Q: Size Purchased
A: Size 25 in these shorts.

SO CUTE!!!

8 months ago
I love these shorts!! They are adorable! I have them in two colors!!! The only thing I wish was different about this brand was the sizing. SOO inconsistent. I wanted a size 26 but when the order came one wss the size of a 25. I ordered a 26 so they would be looser and less restricting. Please send the right sizes next time

The fit is great, and for me the length is pretty perfect for cut-offs. Definitely wouldn’t want them any shorter. They’re flattering and classic

Sehr kurz

Schöne Hose, für meinen Geschmack aber leider viel zu kurz. Einen Punktabzug wäre aber unfair, da es klar steht. :)

Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts are my fave

a year ago
I have almost every single current wash/color and style available of the Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts. Vague Finish is one of my favorite washes/colors/styles this season. It's a great mid-town neutral blue with sort of an almost acid and antiqued wash. It's sort of a lighter wash/version of "The Future Is Now." It's a perfect casual denim short that can be worn with just about anything. And, it can even be dressed-up with heels fand a leather jacket for a night out. I am always a size 23 in Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts. I find Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts sizing to be super consistent and reliable, and the quality is unparalled (way better than more expensive brands that are way overpriced). I recommend purchasing when these go on sale (which, thankfully, Levi's often has). Highly recommend!

Fun through the generations

a year ago
I recently got these ultra-low rise shorts for my 16-year-old daughter, and she's absolutely loving them. They're stylish, with a nice 2.5" inseam and a secure double button closure, and they really flatter her hourglass figure without showing too much skin. It makes me really happy to see her happy in them, especially knowing they're made with recycled cotton fiber—definitely a win for her summer wardrobe! So much so I now have to scavenge for retro levis. Brings back so many memories and experiences when I was her age 🫢 where did that time go ? I KNOW! She will have much fun in hers as I did 😍

Yes, I recommend this product.
