A staple for everyone’s summer wardrobe

15 days 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.

Summer must have!

I am obsessed with the fit of these Levi shorts. They are the perfect length and you can dress them up with a nice blouse, or a tank for a more casual look. I wore them all day and they are super comfortable. I want one in every color!

Love my light pink Levi’s 501 high Rise shorts

17 days 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

21 days 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!

23 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

27 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

27 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

27 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

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

Really like these shorts. They are not overly high rise and flattering. They do not really have any stretch so keep that in mind for sizing. I have a hard time finding shorts that fit and aren't super big in the waist, but not with these.

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!!

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!
