Súper practical . I love it

5 days ago
I love the fabric and the color, the style it has and how it looks like. The fabric is of very good quality. You can use it anytime and anywhere and more outside it’s summer. To take care of it, wash it with cold water so they remain the same color and softness.

My go to shorts

5 days ago
These will be my go to shorts for the summer. I have always loved Levi’s, but the combination of the material having some stretch to it as a game changer. It’s a perfect high waisted height, and the length is great for summer. The color will be so versatile for summertime.

Love the color

5 days ago
I love the color and fit of these shorts. There is one button that you can see then 3 buttons hidden from regular view. The leg space is breathable and not tight. The material is long lasting all around, including waistline.

Super flattering !!

I absolutely love these 501 shorts ! They’re comfortable and fit really well without feeling too tight. The high rise style is super flattering and I always get compliments when I wear them. These are great quality that feels durable but still comfy to wear all day.

Levi’s Original Fit High Rise women’s shorts fit so amazing. They have just enough stretch to hug your curves while not feeling like spandex shorts. They look amazing. These are so comfortable I would wear them every SINGLE DAY! They look amazing stitching is sold and feels like these shorts will hold up forever. Go buy some!

A staple for summer

I LOVE my 501 shorts and own these in multiple colors. Super comfortable, and I love the distressed look and the button closure. Just be aware, I find that they do tend to run a bit smalll.

Original Style

These shorts are the original volunteer material. I like the way that they fit. I also like the fact that the waistband is a little stretchy so when I button up the buttons it doesn’t feel like they are suffocating in my waist stretching is also another thing that I like on your shorts as well as the opening of the legs allowing a little bit of booty ☺️ to show

Great fit

15 days ago
Really like these shorts. They are not overly high rise and flattering. They do not really have any stretch so keep that in mind for sizing. I have a hard time finding shorts that fit and aren't super big in the waist, but not with these.
