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!

5 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!

Best Levi’s fit ever

6 days ago
I couldn’t resist when I saw these Levi’s 501 shorts in pink. The 501 fit is honestly one of my favorite Levi’s styles, so these went straight into my cart. The pink color is perfect for summer - fun, fresh, and so easy to style. I love how the fabric feels: structured enough to hold its shape, but still soft and comfortable at the same time. They feel almost like a second skin. The design has that slightly old-school 90s vibe, which I absolutely love, and the fit is so flattering. The high-rise waist fits really well and doesn’t gap, which is something I always appreciate because many shorts and jeans are loose on me at the waist. They also make my legs look longer, and the length is perfect for summer - short, but still covers everything it needs to. I’ll definitely be getting these in more colors. The fit, fabric, cut, and design are just perfect. Highly recommend!

Runs small!

9 days ago
I love these shorts but beware that they do run VERY small. I had to return them and size up 2 whole sizes and would still consider sizing up another size. I'm 5'2" 135 lbs usually in a size 27 but had to get a 29. They are so cute on but they are booty shorts lol. Very well made & feel quality.

The best jorts I’ve ever known

9 days 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.

Very comfortable to wear, stylish and versatile!

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.
