To be totally honest, I saw a picture of myself with my 1.5 year old son and I was shocked at how bad my previous shorts looked. I decided it was time for some longer shorts for this new era haha! These are way softer than my other Levi’s and super comfortable. I am wearing my normal size 25s and the fit is perfect.

Timeless Style and Perfect Fii

Love it💞 I love the slightly frayed hem and the high-rise cut — it’s flattering and easy to pair with almost anything, from a casual tee to a tucked-in blouse. They’ve quickly become my go-to shorts for everyday wear.

Love the brown! Order up!

11 months ago
Love love the sorrel brown color, very cool look. I am 5’4” tall, 130 lbs and typically wear a size 27 or 26 depending. My waist is 27” and 36” hip. I bought these is a size 27 because I didn’t want them to be tight - they were. I exchanged for a size 28 and I wear them all the time! I don’t think these I’d of shirts look good tight/fitted so a size 28 was a good choice for me. They aren’t loose but they aren’t super fitted either.

5 ft 115 lbs. Ordered a size 25 in both. I bought the Luxor last color and it is like a whole size too big, so I ordered another size smaller and I'm hoping that will fit better. I also ordered the Sorrel Horse and it fits perfectly. Love these shorts and never want to take them off. 10/10 will buy every color. Also love that they have a hem on them, I strongly dislike raw hem.
