Women’s 501 Shorts
Not only did Levi's® invent the blue jean you know and love — we also invented the first-ever jean shorts. An iconic style that highlights the waist and hugs the figure in all the right places, our 501® Original Women's Shorts fit right in with your personal aesthetic for everyday wear you can count on. Modeled after the iconic 501® Original Jeans, these denim shorts were specially made with our signature vintage-inspired fit. To this day, they've never gone out of style — and we doubt they ever will! This universally flattering summer staple will become a quick favorite in your wardrobe, offering the comfort you need and the versatile styling you love.
Our 501® Original Mid-Thigh Women's Shorts feature a high rise with a longer inseam for a fit you'll feel confident in. Straight through the hip and thigh and made from heavyweight denim with stretch, the 501® mid-thigh women's shorts comfortably take you through your day, no matter what it holds. Keep things effortlessly cool by pairing them with a trusty tank top or graphic t-shirt, and when a breeze rolls in, layer with your favorite women’s denim jacket or flannel shirt. Give your outfit a touch of edge by opting for women's 501® shorts with a raw hem. These pair perfectly with a classic crewneck sweatshirt for a casual outing, and they can just as easily be dressed up when you tuck in a blouse or button-up shirt.
For a waist-defining silhouette and ultra laid-back style, look to the 501® Original High-Rise Shorts. These jean shorts are made from non-stretch denim and feature a vintage-inspired fit that's straight through the hip and thigh. Details like frayed hems, rips, tears and side slits give them a more worn-in look that's great to pair with anything from a plaid shirt to a striped polo. Feeling a more '90s vibe? The 501® '90s Shorts will become an instant hit in your wardrobe. These women's 501® shorts feature a looser, slouchier fit through the hip and thigh for all-day comfort, along with an unfinished hem for a more easygoing aesthetic.
Levi's® denim isn't just known for its comfortable fits and classic looks, but also for its versatile assortment of colors and washes. While we love the timeless blue washes from light to dark, modern additions have been added throughout the decades, like soft orange and rich indigo hues. Whether you're exploring the city, running errands or out on the town, Levi's® Original Women's Shorts make the perfect pick for your outings.
