Best Levi’s fit ever

a day 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!

4 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

5 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!

5 days ago
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.

6 days 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!

7 days ago
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.
