My Favorite Shorts 🩳

Finally found my favorite pairs of short jeans. I had purchased many years ago a pair but never found them again. They’re the right length with just the right amount of stretch.

This is my second pair of 501 mid thigh shorts and I love them. The style is great, as the length is perfect. The quality of levi's is always spot on and same goes for these shorts. It's a button up fly but makes no difference and you get used to it quickly. love these!

good fit + great weight = shorts you never takeoff

Perfect shorts. The lightweight fabric is ideal for hot summer days, and thick enough to wear through cool evenings. I went on a weekend trip and almost never took them off. They were comfortable in the car journey and for all the walking and relaxing activities.
Yes, I recommend this product.

So worth it
17 days ago
So comfy! I’m a size 32, 5’5 about 170lbs. I usually wear a size 12 to 14 in bottoms. I always have to size up for my hips and then I have a gap in the waist. These shorts fit perfectly & I have no gap! They have a comfy stretch to them and the mid-thigh length is perfect to avoid thigh chaffing.
