Ready for the summertime

I wasn’t sure if it was going to fit but it fits perfectly and i love the material and the buttons to close instead of zipper which makes it better because sometimes the zipper gets stuck

Go Buy Them!!

14 days ago

The denim feels sturdy and high quality it give that vintage true levi feel for sure, the wash color is really nice as well. They sit sit well at the waist but not much stretch honestly, but after a few wears they should fit relaxed a little bit and size up if u going for just a more relaxed look if u willing to buy these and the pockets on them are deep so nothing can fall out!

So cute and so comfy!

14 days ago

These are SO CUTE and SO COMFORTABLE. I'm 5'2", 125-130 pounds and ordered a size 28 for a slightly roomier fit. These shorts are wonderful - they are so cute and so comfortable. The cut makes me look taller than usual. Perfect for casual wear and going-out wear. The waist goes above my belly button and the back pocket is big enough to fit my Galaxy S25 Ultra in. There is no zipper, but a set of hidden buttons (see pictures) with one visible button. Didn't ride up for me!

So comfy and stylish

14 days ago

I ordered a size 30 just to make sure I had enough room. Normally wear a size 4 or medium in pants. I would say they fit a little larger and could have gone with the size 29. But I like them and they are comfy. The fabric is nice and thick. And the black color is slightly more of the faded look. Nice deep pockets and button closure. I haven’t washed them yet but Levi’s is a well trusted brand that I won’t have any problems with when it comes to durability. You can wear these with anything to dress them up or dress them down and I feel that is a major plus.

So comfortable

14 days ago

First of all the cut on these the length are so perfect. They are so appropriate for every day wear anywhere except church lol they say it’s only one percent stretch but baby they’re more stretchy than you would think so definitely go for your exact size. I love these they are made of such a great material. These are probably my new favorite shorts.

High quality and perfect fit

14 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!!!

15 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

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

26 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

28 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.
