Perfect short!

I love these shorts! I find them to be the perfect length for me, short without being too short where you feel like you may be showing too much. I am so glad that I finally found a cut of short that works for me. Fit true to size in my opinion. Bought them in 5 different colors!

Comfy and stylish

24 days ago
These are now my go to jeans when going out. They have the perfect amount of stretchiness and doesnt feel stiff when walking. The pockets are deep enough to where my phone or money wont fall out. I can't wait to buy my next pair of Levi jeans!

Perfect for summer

25 days ago
With this hot heat weather Levi’s shorts are the way to go u can dress it up or dress down which I love it fits and hugs your body in all the rice places and make your peach look good. I would recommend sizing up with Levi’s a size or 2 since they do shrink over time when you wash and dry but I love Levi’s shorts for how long they last. Especially these white short I can go classy look or casual and even country with my boots obsessed definitely recommend you to get a pair you will thank me later

The perfect shorts for summer!

25 days ago
These shorts are incredibly flattering! I love that I can dress them up or down. They are form fitting with little stretch or give - very much true to size. I didn’t notice much shrinkage after washing. In all, these are the perfect shorts for summer!

Perfect high quality, staple short

26 days ago
You can tell these are high quality shorts and the color is as shown in the pictures online. The original 501 fit specifically has no stretch as stated online, so if you have a smaller waist and bigger thighs, that’s worth noting.

Classic jean shorts

26 days ago
Love how these shorts fit. The material is on the thick side and they have enough coverage without being jorts. High waist is a must for me and these fit nicely up on the waist. A classic from Levi’s and I hope they don’t stop making this style.

These are my all-time favorite jeans. They are the perfect combination of stretch and structure. The high waist fits just perfect and I love the buttons on the front. It’s a perfect shade and will be great to add to my summer staples!

Classic Levi’s Shorts

27 days 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!
