Gorgeous Shorts!!

a year ago
These are really lovely shorts, and the pink is a really lovely pink. They fit like a dream and are really flattering on, as is the case with all Levis. They look great with a pair of nice trainers or flip-flops, and will be a wardrobe staple for me this summer. Highly recommend, so much so that I'm already looking at the other colours.

New favorites

a year ago
Love the some stretch washes they’re more comfortable than the no stretch. I’m 5’8” 145 and usually a size 28 leaning 27. The blank spot wash does run 1-2 sizes small(went with size 29). No referee runs true to size or 1/2 size small(went with 28). Disco nights white runs true to size(went with 28). I do wish they made the high rise 501 shorts in a slightly longer inseam option as well, 3.5 inches would be ideal and a lighter blue wash with a clean sewn hem.

Great basic short

I really like these shorts. They rise at my belly button and fall just below my buttocks. They are comfortable and move with me; I don’t feel any restriction. 5,2” 115lbs and took my regular size of 25.

Brothers’ clothes

I love these. I bought them to wear baggy but cinched at the waist. I went up to a 33 from a 31 and they worked perfectly for that I’m wearing my brothers clothes look.

Fantastic shorts!! Glad I finally got a white pair. I thought that maybe the 2 1/2 inseam might be too short, but it's perfect. I only buy 501's because the fit works for me

Size up but absolutely love the fit!

a year ago
I’ve been looking for Jean shorts for months now and found these gems online. The Levi’s I own pants are all size 28 so of course I order as such but unfortunately I should have read the reviews further and seen the need to size up 1 or 2 times. I was able to return them in the store. Thankfully, so because although sizing up once for the Midnight Dark wash was sufficient, I had to size up twice for the Disco Nights White to fit the exact same way🙃 5’7 140lbs. I love the fit and look of these classic shorts.

My fav jean shorts!

a year ago
These 501 high waisted shorts are my absolute favorite and the Ribcage shorts are a close second. These shorts are stylish yet comfy and can be casual but they can also be styled up and worn with heels. I love the way they sit on my waist and hug my curves, they come up to about my belly button. These shorts button all the way up and I actually like that, I feel it helps with the overall fit. The denim doesn't feel thin or cheap, they feel tight at first but they loosen a bit to really form to your body and they seem to get better and better with each wear!

Summer go-to shorts!

a year ago
I love these shorts, they fit me pretty well and they snatched my waistline. They are a little tight in the thigh area, but overall these are my go-to summer shorts. I tend to wear these every day during the summer, so I would say these are worth the price and quality.
