As a big believer in “you get what you pay for,” I never cheap out on denim products. I dislike the way cheap, stretchy denim ages and distorts, and it happens rather quickly. Investing in a good pair of quality shorts that will last more than one summer is much preferable to me. I was pleased when I received these shorts because I could immediately feel that they are high-quality denim and will last a good while. Instead of stretching out and wearing thin, these will get better with age and some breaking in. I love the button closure, the perfect amount of tasteful distressing, and the classic look and feel of these shorts. They fit so well in the waist without being too tight in relation to the hip size. They do have a bit of a “wedgy” fit, which is flattering but does create a bit of a cheeky situation. In love with the front, but wish these were a tad more covering in the rear as I find myself wanting to pull them down a bit in the back after some walking around/movement. I’ll keep experimenting with the different fits of Levi’s shorts to find the perfect fit for me since I love the quality of their denim! Overall, definitely recommend and will enjoy wearing these all summer.
