Comfy fit and easy to wear

a year ago
These cargo shorts are super roomy and really comfy. The fabric feels soft and durable. I really like the light wash shade, just the perfect washed light blue shade for summers. The fit is true to size, so no need to size up or down. I got the 32 waist size instead which is my usual size. The 12” length hits just around the knee for me and works well with tees. The pockets look so cool and stylish, without feelings too bulky. I wore them a few times already and they are so comfy and easy to wear.

These cargo jeans work well with a variety of styles pair them with a fitted tee and sneakers for a casual look or layer with an oversized hoodie for a streetwear vibe. The fabric holds its shape well resisting excessive stretching or sagging over time. What sets these jeans apart are the functional cargo pockets on the sides adding both style and practicality. The extra storage is great for carrying small essentials and the military inspired detailing gives them an edgy urban look. Fit very well.

Good

a year ago
Since I have it, I love it! The quality of the denim is incredible, resistant but comfortable at the same time. The tight silhouette at the waist and hip stands out very well and, in addition, the fisherman's part gives me a versatile touch, perfect to wear both in casual looks and somewhat more arranged. What I like the most is that it easily adapts to different styles and combines with everything. In addition, its durability is remarkable, an investment that is worth it! I only recommend making sure you choose the right size, because Levi's usually has quite faithful sizes.

Such a staple for summer

a year ago
The relaxed fit gives that laid-back, street-inspired vibe while still feeling incredibly structured and well-made—classic Levi’s quality. I absolutely love the 12-inch length, which strikes the perfect balance between coverage and breathability, especially during warmer months. The brown shade is rich and versatile, pairing beautifully with neutral tees or even bolder prints when I want to play with layers. The cargo pockets are not only on-trend but also functional, adding just the right amount of edge and practicality. Whether I’m running errands or hanging out on a low-key weekend, these shorts never fail me—they’re comfortable, flattering, and endlessly wearable.

Comfortable and durable

a year ago
Great pair of denim baggy cargo shorts from Levi, incintivized from Influenster. My husband isn't a man who likes too many different styles or different looks of clothing, but he absolutely loves these cargo shorts. *100% cotton *Comfortable *Durable *Quality *Breathable 478 Baggy Cargo from Levi's in color Rain Drop Drum-Brown are my husbands new favorite cargo denim shorts. These are truly the 90s baggy style, which is kind of his style being a teen in the 90s, yet these are really thick, durable, cotton material that is also breathable, and he doesn't feel over heated. Durable without feeling stiff or over starched leaves him comfortable and cool all day. He enjoys the large utility pockets, giving him plenty of space to keep a few work items on him instead of running back to his vehicle for small, light things that he needs at almost every job like extra wire, paper tags, marker, etc. He is a blue/ black denim guy, but he actually really likes this brownish color expanding his wardrobe to more options. Now, he wants a few pairs in different colors. Thank you @influenster and @levis

Cargo shorts are back in style ( I think). These are the perfect pair and they go well with a nice sleeveless shirt or tank. Just in time for summer weather.

Great quality cargo shorts with a true-to-size, re

a year ago
My husband loves these shorts! The fabric is thick, durable, and feels high-quality. The fit is relaxed and true to size, giving off a cool, laid-back '90s vibe. He didn’t need to size up or down. They’re comfortable, breathable, and perfect for casual wear. The color looks great in natural light and the pockets are super functional too.

They are great

a year ago
These shorts have seriously deep and functional pockets—I can carry everything I need without it feeling bulky or uncomfortable. The cargo pockets are roomy enough for my phone, wallet, keys, and even a small notebook, while still keeping things secure thanks to the flap closures. I really appreciate the layout too; everything has its place, and I don’t have to dig around. The material feels durable but not stiff, and even with full pockets, they hold their shape and don’t sag too much. Perfect for everyday wear or when I’m out and about and don’t want to carry a bag.
