Size up but absolutely love the fit!

3 months 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.

Perfect High-Rise Jean Shorts: Flattering, Comfort

4 months ago
I absolutely love these Levi’s 501® Original Fit High Rise Shorts, they contour beautifully to the body while still feeling comfortable. The cutting is spot on, fitted through the hips without being restrictive, giving a sleek yet effortless look. The Scraped Travertine tan color is a beautiful neutral that complements any wardrobe, making these shorts incredibly versatile for styling. Whether paired with a casual tee or a dressy blouse, they effortlessly elevate any outfit. The 100% cotton denim is breathable and durable, softening nicely with wear while still holding its shape-perfect for staying cool and stylish during the summer. Sizing is true to size, so no need to size up or down. The inseam (2.5”) is just right for a leg-lengthening effect, showing just the right amount of skin without feeling too short. These shorts are a timeless warm-weather essential, combining comfort, style, and quality all in one. If you’re looking for the perfect pair of high-rise jean shorts, these are it!

So stylish 🤩

I love these Levi’s 501® Original Fit High Rise Women’s Shorts! The fit is perfect—snug but comfortable, and they accentuate the waist beautifully. The high-rise design is super flattering, and the quality of the denim is excellent, as expected from Levi’s. They’re great for casual summer outfits and easy to style with crop tops or oversized shirts. However, they do run a bit small, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit. Overall, a stylish and classic piece for any wardrobe!

Summer go-to shorts!

4 months 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.

Curvy line 🙏🏼

a month ago
These shorts are really comfy and cute! My only issue is it doesn't really cater to girls with thighs bigger than their waist. I bought a size 24 and honestly it doesn't even fit well. I can comfortably fit two fists between the waistband and my stomach. But it’s soooo tight on my thigh area I can’t size down. If you have a flat stomach but larger thighs watch out. Make a curvy line Levi’s, with sizes going down to 22! Other than that so cute no notes.

Vanity Sized

3 months ago
As usual, people are saying these run small when in reality they run very large. I have an almost 24inch waist (this hasn’t changed in years). However, every year I buy these shorts in a size 23, and they keep getting bigger in the waist, and even more loose in the thighs. Vanity sizing has people clueless about their measurements, and it’s eliminating options for people who cannot size down any further. Levi’s Mile High Super Skinny Jeans in a 24 fit my waist perfect. The 501 denim shorts in a 23 are huge. I’m such a loyal customer but if companies keep sizing smaller bodies out… I don’t know where to shop anymore.

Diaper Chic

3 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.
