Hugs you in all the right places!

25 days ago
I really love the fit of these!! The stretch it perfect and typically I wouldn’t opt for a button fly but I don’t mind it on these ones. They hug my body really well without feeling loose in the waist. The only thing I would change is having them a tiny bit longer but it’s probably great for others! They’re off-white, pictured with a white tee for reference

Súper practical . I love it

28 days ago
I love the fabric and the color, the style it has and how it looks like. The fabric is of very good quality. You can use it anytime and anywhere and more outside it’s summer. To take care of it, wash it with cold water so they remain the same color and softness.

My go to shorts

28 days ago
These will be my go to shorts for the summer. I have always loved Levi’s, but the combination of the material having some stretch to it as a game changer. It’s a perfect high waisted height, and the length is great for summer. The color will be so versatile for summertime.

Love the color

29 days ago
I love the color and fit of these shorts. There is one button that you can see then 3 buttons hidden from regular view. The leg space is breathable and not tight. The material is long lasting all around, including waistline.

A staple for summer

I LOVE my 501 shorts and own these in multiple colors. Super comfortable, and I love the distressed look and the button closure. Just be aware, I find that they do tend to run a bit smalll.

Original Style

a month ago
These shorts are the original volunteer material. I like the way that they fit. I also like the fact that the waistband is a little stretchy so when I button up the buttons it doesn’t feel like they are suffocating in my waist stretching is also another thing that I like on your shorts as well as the opening of the legs allowing a little bit of booty ☺️ to show

So well made!

a month ago
I adore Levi’s products, especially their jeans so I knew I’d love this iteration of their 501 Original Fit High Rise Women’s shorts. They’re sooo well made! The denim is thick in all the right places and hangs beautifully on my hips. I’m a size 27 and these fit perfectly true to size. They’re long enough to cover the goods and still fall a couple inches down my thighs so I can sit comfortably and walk without anything riding up or showing. I got one of the pairs without any stretch so they are very well structured without much give. The pockets are deep enough to actually hold things too which is the biggest plus! The pair I got have a button up closure which isn’t my favorite but still super cute, just something to keep in mind in case you have arthritis or mobility issues. All in all, I highly recommend them! These are gonna last me for years.

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!!

a month 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!

a month 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

a month 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

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.

High quality and perfect fit

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!!!

a month 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!!!

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.
