The best denim shorts

Every year since 2016 I purchase these shorts as part of my summer collection. I absolutely love the fit although, I wish they had a lil more stretch.

Perfect fit and make my tummy look flat

a year ago
I’m a size 16 and I ordered these in size 33 and they fit perfectly. I love the non stretch material because it sucks your tummy in. They are very comfortable and they don’t ride up between my thighs like some shorts do.

Cute but run small

15 days ago
The cut and look of these seems great, but they run small. I normally wear a size 30 in high rise jeans (725 bootcut, ribcage straight), and the 30 in these is too tight to even move around. Definitely size up!

Diaper Chic

10 months ago
If you have a wider waist and narrower hips, these look and fit like a diaper. There is just way too much material through the pockets and crotch. I'm 5'8 135 lbs with a 27.5" waist and 36.5" hips, athletic build, and the 28s fit around the waist loosely but the rest of the short is enormous. Ordering 27s to see if they'll work without giving me a muffin top. I miss the old 501s with 3 buttons instead of 4, I have a pair from 2017 that are so superior to these. Oh well.
Q: What size do you usually wear?

Very small fit

15 days ago
I love the look of these shorts, but find the fit extremely small. I usually wear a 32 in Levi’s jeans, so I sized up to a 33 based on the reviews, and I can’t even get these done up, not even close! I am very disappointed as they cannot be returned.

Sizes are not even close to accurate

6 months ago
I beg of you Levi’s to stop telling people that your sizes are true to size. I’m not a delusional close buyer and I went up two sizes for these just in case cause I had heard the rumors and I can’t even fit them over my thigh. I’m usually a 26, order the 29 and now exchanging for a 31. Luckily I’m secure in my skin just more annoyed that I have to do all these exchanges but this is terrible for some people‘s mental health. Make your size is accessible!! it feels like Levi’s are made for 12-year-olds
