Great fit!! the cut is super flattering and fits well- just short enough to show off the legs but not up your butt lol. 5’9”, 26” waist, 36” hips and the size 27 fits very well

Size up but absolutely love the fit!

a year ago
I’ve been looking for Jean shorts for months now and found these gems online. The Levi’s I own pants are all size 28 so of course I order as such but unfortunately I should have read the reviews further and seen the need to size up 1 or 2 times. I was able to return them in the store. Thankfully, so because although sizing up once for the Midnight Dark wash was sufficient, I had to size up twice for the Disco Nights White to fit the exact same way🙃 5’7 140lbs. I love the fit and look of these classic shorts.

Vintage look and feel.

a year ago
Perfect summer shorts. You can’t go wrong with these if you love a good vintage look. I was surprised at how much stretch the “low stretch” fabric is. I could have sized down but I went with the size 28 that I usually fit in the 501 cropped Jean. They are comfy and cute though. I’ve already got compliments on them. Next time I’ll go with the 27, as they run slightly on the larger size but if you like that fit then definitely go true to size- I don’t mind it because they’re amazing quality and I can tell they will last me forever without budging or losing shape while allowing some wiggle room for weight fluctuations.

My fav jean shorts!

a year ago
These 501 high waisted shorts are my absolute favorite and the Ribcage shorts are a close second. These shorts are stylish yet comfy and can be casual but they can also be styled up and worn with heels. I love the way they sit on my waist and hug my curves, they come up to about my belly button. These shorts button all the way up and I actually like that, I feel it helps with the overall fit. The denim doesn't feel thin or cheap, they feel tight at first but they loosen a bit to really form to your body and they seem to get better and better with each wear!

Summer go-to shorts!

a year ago
I love these shorts, they fit me pretty well and they snatched my waistline. They are a little tight in the thigh area, but overall these are my go-to summer shorts. I tend to wear these every day during the summer, so I would say these are worth the price and quality.

Can't beat the cut and fit

a year ago
I've been looking for a new pair of jean shorts that are well made and have a nice fit. Jean shorts by denim brands like Frame and Mother don't come close to the 501 high rise. Love the light fraying at the bottom and the wash isn't to dark. Fit is comfortable and there is just enough room at the top so that these lay nice against the body without being to tight. Highly recommend.
