High quality and perfect fit

9 days ago
1st time wearing Levi's shorts. Little stiff at 1st but after washed they were perfect. Great quality and top notch fabric. Did not seem to stretch much but fit perfect. Wasn't sure if paying a higher price was worth it, but definitely is. Very high quality. I will definitely buy more now that I tried a pair.

Incredible Shorts!!!

10 days ago
I actually love these shorts! I am on the curvier/thicker side and other jeans from Levis have not been the best fit because they are the OG jean material with no stretch. I am so glad I tried these shorts because the material is thick but stretchy. The denim is soft to the touch. These do not have a zipper but the buttons in its place are easy to button up and do not open up. I cant wait to try other colors!!!

Perfect summer denim

11 days ago
These shorts are soooo cute. I love how classic the style is, they feel like the ribcage jeans as they have multiple buttons to close the waist. They are so durable and feel sturdy. They also make my rear end look great.

The perfect shorts

21 days ago
This was my very first time buying from Levi’s and these shorts did not disappoint. These are by far the nicest, most flattering shorts I’ve ever owned. The high rise is great and the 2.5inch length was perfect. For reference, I’m 5’3” and weigh 125lbs. I have a 27inch waist, 35inch hip/butt and the size 26 fit like it was made specifically for my body. 10/10. I would 100% recommend these shorts to anyone. I hope to get the black pair soon as well!

I Love My 501 Shorts

23 days ago
I'm 4'11" with a slightly athletic build and weigh between 116–118 pounds. I normally wear Petite Size 2 and dress size XS (hips 36", thighs 20"). I ordered size 27, and they fit great! The 100% cotton version (Luxor Heat Light Wash) feels lighter and roomier around my thighs while hugging me in all the right places. The low-stretch version (No Referee Short - Medium Wash) feels a little tighter around the thighs compared to the Luxor pair, maybe because they're not as distressed, but they still feel amazing. Both styles have no back gaps, and the high waist hits right at my belly button while beautifully highlighting my curves from the front and back.

Love these! I am 5ft 90lbs and it was hard to find a pair of shorts that fit me. After months of searching I pulled the trigger and ordered a size 23 online bc I can’t find that size anywhere in stores. So happy I did! Fit great and look great. Love the quality can’t wait to get more.
