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!

20 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

21 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!

Runs small!

24 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

24 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!

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.

25 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!

26 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.

Overall, these jean shorts are so comfy, their color doesn’t fade, and they have an amazing fit. I give these a 10/10! These are a summer must-have!!!🏝️🌊☀️

27 days ago
The jean shorts are super, super comfy! They aren’t too tight or too loose — they fit just right. So far, I haven’t seen any color changes after washing them. The color has stayed the same. They also have lots of pockets, which is super useful. They have 2 in the front and 2 in the back! I will be recommending these Jean shorts to my friends!😉

A staple for everyone’s summer wardrobe

a month ago
I sized up with these shorts for a more comfortable fit. They fit amazing and can be styled for several different occasions from brunch to beach to a night out. They have butterfly buttons which are hidden for a seamless look. I wore them to brunch on a hot summer day and was very comfortable. The material feels breathable and the stitching makes for a flattering fit. The perfect jean shorts that I will be teaching for all summer.

Love my light pink Levi’s 501 high Rise shorts

a month ago
Love these Levi’s 501 Original Fit High-Rise Women’s Shorts. They have a hidden button fly which is a cute detail on the front. The light pink wash is unique and definitely something I will be wearing frequently. I received tons of compliments while wearing them. They have a good stretch to the perfect material thickness for a summer jean short. They were comfortable to wear while I did some errands as well as over my swimsuit after a pool day. They feel like they will last and are a durable Jean short.

Good summer shorts

Ordered one size up based on reviews and fit well, have a little room so it’s not super tight. I like the distressed look at bottom of shorts. Cover entire bottom so don’t feel exposed.

Hugs you in all the right places!

a month ago
I really love the fit of these!! The stretch it perfect and typically I wouldn’t opt for a button fly but I don’t mind it on these ones. They hug my body really well without feeling loose in the waist. The only thing I would change is having them a tiny bit longer but it’s probably great for others! They’re off-white, pictured with a white tee for reference
