Perfect summer shorts

4 days ago
I love the color and the fit are great these stretch enough so it hides my rolls. These shorts are at the perfect length where it will not ride up they are very comfortable. The buttons are sometimes a little hard to work but I love the style if it.

Lightweight and soft!

9 days ago
These shorts are comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for this summer. The soft denim feels much better than traditional stiff denim and doesn’t ride up from the mid-thigh as other brands have. These shorts have the traditional color plus stitching that I love from Levi’s.

Easy breezy summer staple

16 days ago
It doesn't get much more classic than a pair of Levi's. These shorts are cute and functional for a mom-fit, especially when you're chasing around small children. I didn't realize these shorts had the button fly when I purchased online, so definitely be aware of that. They also fit notably tighter in the thighs compared to the model, which I'm not that thick in the thighs. Definitely runs a tad small!
