The best jorts I’ve ever known
8 hours ago
WOW. I can confirm these do live up to the hype. I would absolutely say these are my new favorite shorts. They are so comfortable, and fit me like a glove. The wash on them is perfect. The leg holes have a little stretch to them naturally without the jean material being elastic, so it makes sitting with them on equally as comfortable. Walking in them they don’t ride up or cause an irritating chafe on my legs. I will absolutely be finding the rest of my summer shorts at Levi’s going forward.

These Jean shorts are my favorite pair! They are very comfortable, stylish and made well. I love all of the pockets, high-rise style and versatility of these shorts. I’ve worn them while doing leisurely activities as well as more strenuous activities such as bike riding and hiking and they are easy to move in on any occasion.

A must- have summer jeans for your vacation.
a day ago
The material is soft and not rough to the skin. The style is very easy to pair with any tops. The size is true to size and fit very well for my body. Pocket size is also very comfortable and easy to put your hands in it. The only thing I don’t like is they have too many buttons, I wish they have the zipper instead.

New favorite shorts!

I’m usually not a huge fan of a button fly but these fit so perfectly and I really love the wash. Levi’s button fly is also a lot The easier to button than other brands I’ve worn. Every time I try denim from a different brand I always come back to Levi’s because I am never disappointed.

The jean shorts are super, super comfy! They aren’t too tight or too loose — they fit just right. So far, I haven’t seen any color changes after washing them. The color has stayed the same. They also have lots of pockets, which is super useful. They have 2 in the front and 2 in the back! I will be recommending these Jean shorts to my friends!😉
