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.

Love the brown! Order up!
a year 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.

These are my new favorite denim shorts. I ordered 2 different sizes because of the reviews. I ordered one size up and the other 2 sizes up from my actual size with the intention of returning the one that didn’t fit. They both fit, so I’m keeping them!!

Perfect modest but youthful jean
a year ago
I am 5'5" and 120 lbs and I ordered my normal size 25 and it fits great. I got the no stretch blue beauty and the no damage white -- both are beautiful. The denim color are a bit thicker and the white feel a little more stretchy, but not too much. I am 37 and love these for my lifestyle as a mom of 2 who likes to feel modest but youthful. I am also sporting short 501 cut offs still so this feels like a good balance to have in my closet. PS. my butt looks great in them!

Size Up

I'm a true 27 in jeans/shorts in all brands, but these ended up being too fitted in the thigh and didn't give me the baggy look I was going for. Exchanged for a 28 and they are perfect!
