I saw a lot of positive reviews online about these shorts and got super excited. I always have problems with the waist gap and these shorts seemed to be the solution. I went to the stores to try them to make sure I got the right size, however none of the three Levi’s stores I went to had them in stock yet. Finally, I ordered one online in the same size I have pants too (high loose tapered and ribcage wide leg). The shorts fit perfectly with the cinches! I am so happy I finally found shorts that fit the waist and thighs perfectly. Also the length is perfect, not too short. I ordered the white ones and they looks very classy. Possible to style them elegant and also more edge. If you’re thinking about these shorts, buy them!
