Trendy and cute

2 days 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.

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!

9 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

10 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!
