The perfect “mom” short

a day ago
Nice color, perfect length, waist height, & great fit! They do stretch a bit so sizing down may have been beneficial but they are a more relaxed fit so super comfy with light stretch.

Kurze Hose für jede Gelegenheit

Die super Qualität von Levi’s ist bei dieser kurzen Short wiedergegeben. Sitzt durch den Stretchanteil super bequem und sehr angenehm zu tragen. Die Länge zu den Oberschenkeln und auch die Weite ist perfekt für Arbeit und Freizeit.

Great everyday shorts!

3 days ago
These Levi’s shorts are comfortable, flattering and perfect for warm weather. The lightweight fabric feels soft and breathable, while the mid-thigh length provides great coverage without feeling too long. They fit true to size and pair easily with any casual outfit. A great staple for summer.

Lightweight and versatile!

I am excited to receive these shorts for review. I will be using them all summer long. Overall, these are a great quality and fit better than expected. I was a little bit nervous because these are listed as high waisted. I am only 5‘2“ and jeans that are high waisted are generally not comfortable for me. That is not the case with these. While they do go just above my belly button, they have a little bit of stretch and it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. As a bonus, it gives a little more coverage in the back. Being so short, it seems most shorts I have are either too long and I have to roll them up or they are too short. These are the perfect mid lengths. They are just past my fingertips. Still long enough that I could roll them if I would want to, but I will probably wear them as is. These shorts also have a button fly. I feel like the buttons will help the front of the jean material stay flat. Sometimes the zipper fly on shorts warps a bit over time and I don’t think that will happen with these. While these are jean material, they are very lightweight. They also have a little bit of stretch. For someone like me who is exactly at my size and borderline between sizes, this is great. They stretched just enough to be able to comfortably button them and for someone close to my size but a little bit smaller than shorts would fit them as well. I feel these shorts are a very good value and I will consider buying another pair. They will be my go to for baseball games, days at home, and days at the lake. They could be dressed up if you have a more casual event like a neighborhood party, or be worn for everyday. Very versatile, and my new favorite find!

Highly recommend these amazing shorts.

Amazing shorts. I was unsure at first, as I didn’t want them to be baggy on my legs, like so many shorts are now. But I was very pleased when they arrived. They are comfortable. The length is perfect. And they hug your body in all the right places. I now want them in every colour. Highly highly recommend.
