Still love the cut, but color changed a bit

This is my second time buying these. Love the fit as always, but the color is more grey now compared to the deep black of the older version. Preferred the original color.

Runs small!

I love these shorts but beware that they do run VERY small. I had to return them and size up 2 whole sizes and would still consider sizing up another size. I'm 5'2" 135 lbs usually in a size 27 but had to get a 29. They are so cute on but they are booty shorts lol. Very well made & feel quality.

Very comfortable to wear, stylish and versatile!

These Jean shorts are my favorite pair! They are very comfortable, stylish and made well. I love all of the pockets, high-rise style and versatility of these shorts. I’ve worn them while doing leisurely activities as well as more strenuous activities such as bike riding and hiking and they are easy to move in on any occasion.

A must- have summer jeans for your vacation.

29 days ago
The material is soft and not rough to the skin. The style is very easy to pair with any tops. The size is true to size and fit very well for my body. Pocket size is also very comfortable and easy to put your hands in it. The only thing I don’t like is they have too many buttons, I wish they have the zipper instead.

New favorite shorts!

30 days ago
I’m usually not a huge fan of a button fly but these fit so perfectly and I really love the wash. Levi’s button fly is also a lot The easier to button than other brands I’ve worn. Every time I try denim from a different brand I always come back to Levi’s because I am never disappointed.

Overall, these jean shorts are so comfy, their color doesn’t fade, and they have an amazing fit. I give these a 10/10! These are a summer must-have!!!🏝️🌊☀️

The jean shorts are super, super comfy! They aren’t too tight or too loose — they fit just right. So far, I haven’t seen any color changes after washing them. The color has stayed the same. They also have lots of pockets, which is super useful. They have 2 in the front and 2 in the back! I will be recommending these Jean shorts to my friends!😉

A staple for everyone’s summer wardrobe

a month ago
I sized up with these shorts for a more comfortable fit. They fit amazing and can be styled for several different occasions from brunch to beach to a night out. They have butterfly buttons which are hidden for a seamless look. I wore them to brunch on a hot summer day and was very comfortable. The material feels breathable and the stitching makes for a flattering fit. The perfect jean shorts that I will be teaching for all summer.

Love my light pink Levi’s 501 high Rise shorts

a month ago
Love these Levi’s 501 Original Fit High-Rise Women’s Shorts. They have a hidden button fly which is a cute detail on the front. The light pink wash is unique and definitely something I will be wearing frequently. I received tons of compliments while wearing them. They have a good stretch to the perfect material thickness for a summer jean short. They were comfortable to wear while I did some errands as well as over my swimsuit after a pool day. They feel like they will last and are a durable Jean short.

Good summer shorts

a month ago
Ordered one size up based on reviews and fit well, have a little room so it’s not super tight. I like the distressed look at bottom of shorts. Cover entire bottom so don’t feel exposed.

Hugs you in all the right places!

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

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

a month 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.

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.
