Classic Levi’s Shorts

a month ago
I haven’t worn denim shorts in a while and I was pleasantly surprised by these Levi shorts. The quality was amazing, the shorts themselves were cute, and they were comfortable. The website reviews accurately said the fit was small, so I ordered one size up and it fit perfectly. I also liked the length and the classic buttons for high rise.

Such comfortable jean shorts

a month ago
Ive been testing these out for over a month and wow! These jeans shorts are so amazing, ive been on the hunt for a pair that fits this good and doesn’t rise up for years. These are perfect, right down to wash of denim and i love how they aren’t ripped or frayed like most jeans shorts are these days. They are especially comfortable even in super hot weather and dont pinch or rub in any weird spot. Overall these are fantastic jeans shorts and have already purchased another pair! 10/10 highly recommend these

Must Add Staple Shorts

a month ago
I absolutely love these Women’s Levi’s 501 Original Fit High Rise Shorts. The fit is flattering and comfortable. They have just the right amount of stretch without loosing their shape or being too tight. One of my favorite things is that they don’t ride up when I walk around, which can be hard to find in denim shorts. The length is perfect-not too short, but still stylish. The quality feels excellent, with durable denim and great construction I’d expect from Levi’s. I also like the buttons instead of zipper, it gives them a classic, high quality look. Overall, these are a staple pair of shorts. I will be reaching for them all summer long!

So flattering

a month ago
These are so flattering! They fit great, are super comfortable and really cute. They are not so short that I feel overly exposed, but not long at all. They give coverage in the important places. I also love that they aren’t low rise which makes me look and feel more slender.

501s

a month ago
I love the color and cut of my shorts. They are exactly what I was hoping for with the 501s. I know other reviews stated these ran on the smaller side and to size up, but I found my regular size fit well/was even slightly large. If I got another pair, I’d probably size down in order to have that tighter fit around the waist.

Perfect shorts for moms of toddlers, soft and comfortable

2 months ago
Love the fit and feel of these. Theyre a really high quality soft denim, fit snug in the waist so they don't sag down but relaxed fit in the thigh so you can still move around. I also love the wash on these, nicely colored, dark but not too dark, perfect for spring and summer. I chase around 2 toddlers all day, we go so many play places and the park and these will for sure be a summer staple!!

Nice

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

2 months 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.
