These are high-quality Levi’s jean shorts. I like that they are high rise. The only thing I don’t like it that the jean shorts don’t move. I wear these for short periods of time.

Trendy and cute
5 days ago
The Levi’s 501 original fit high-rise women’s jean shorts are super cute and comfortable. I am on the smaller side so they were a little bit big on me even in the smaller size, but Levi’s are great jeans. I absolutely love them to death. These will last a lifetime no joke.

Still love the cut, but color changed a bit

This is my second time buying these. Love the fit as always, but the color is more grey now compared to the deep black of the older version. Preferred the original color.

Great color and cut!
12 days ago
These are very cute and well made shorts. I like the button fly and the high rise. I think they do run a tad small. I got my normal
size but they were a tiny bit snug in the waist. The length and fit everywhere else was great though. I love the cut and color of these and like that i will be able to wear them with so many different things!
