My new favorite pair of shorts!

a month ago
My new favorite pair of shorts for summer. I’m so excited to be wearing these all summer! They fit amazing! They are a bit stretchy which I love, the material is not to harsh and stiff, which I really love! They are flattering and fit like a glow on me! Definitely recommend. Super comfortable too!

perfect jean shorts

these jean shorts are perfect! im 5’3” and 130 lbs, and size 28 fit perfectly! I like the length of it, not too short or too long. usually low-no stretch jeans feel uncomfortable when i sit, but these do not. highly recommend.

Perfect summer denim

a month ago
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.

The perfect shorts

a month ago
This was my very first time buying from Levi’s and these shorts did not disappoint. These are by far the nicest, most flattering shorts I’ve ever owned. The high rise is great and the 2.5inch length was perfect. For reference, I’m 5’3” and weigh 125lbs. I have a 27inch waist, 35inch hip/butt and the size 26 fit like it was made specifically for my body. 10/10. I would 100% recommend these shorts to anyone. I hope to get the black pair soon as well!

I Love My 501 Shorts

a month ago
I'm 4'11" with a slightly athletic build and weigh between 116–118 pounds. I normally wear Petite Size 2 and dress size XS (hips 36", thighs 20"). I ordered size 27, and they fit great! The 100% cotton version (Luxor Heat Light Wash) feels lighter and roomier around my thighs while hugging me in all the right places. The low-stretch version (No Referee Short - Medium Wash) feels a little tighter around the thighs compared to the Luxor pair, maybe because they're not as distressed, but they still feel amazing. Both styles have no back gaps, and the high waist hits right at my belly button while beautifully highlighting my curves from the front and back.

I heard that you should go two sizes up from your regular size for the 501’s and that is accurate.

501s for ever!

2 months ago
Love the New Look Dark Wash! Just got out my summer clothes and I have a plethora of 501 shorts in 28 and 29. For buyers, they do stretch. I have 28s from 10 years ago that are now a good 3 inches bigger than the 29s that just arrived. After wash, use a wooden hanger to stretch to your content and eureka! I've got a size 30 on the way (the largest I've ever ordered) to see if they fit loosely on the go. Thanks Levi's for the great sale!

Love these! I am 5ft 90lbs and it was hard to find a pair of shorts that fit me. After months of searching I pulled the trigger and ordered a size 23 online bc I can’t find that size anywhere in stores. So happy I did! Fit great and look great. Love the quality can’t wait to get more.
