Incredible Shorts!!!
2 days ago
I actually love these shorts! I am on the curvier/thicker side and other jeans from Levis have not been the best fit because they are the OG jean material with no stretch. I am so glad I tried these shorts because the material is thick but stretchy. The denim is soft to the touch. These do not have a zipper but the buttons in its place are easy to button up and do not open up. I cant wait to try other colors!!!

My new favorite pair of shorts for summer. I’m so excited to be wearing these all summer! They fit amazing! They are a bit stretchy which I love, the material is not to harsh and stiff, which I really love! They are flattering and fit like a glow on me! Definitely recommend. Super comfortable too!

Perfect summer denim

These shorts are soooo cute. I love how classic the style is, they feel like the ribcage jeans as they have multiple buttons to close the waist. They are so durable and feel sturdy. They also make my rear end look great.

Bought these is light denim years ago and love them. They are a little snug, so if you want an easier fit, size up. Great shorts.

The perfect shorts
13 days ago
This was my very first time buying from Levi’s and these shorts did not disappoint. These are by far the nicest, most flattering shorts I’ve ever owned. The high rise is great and the 2.5inch length was perfect. For reference, I’m 5’3” and weigh 125lbs. I have a 27inch waist, 35inch hip/butt and the size 26 fit like it was made specifically for my body. 10/10. I would 100% recommend these shorts to anyone. I hope to get the black pair soon as well!

I Love My 501 Shorts
15 days ago
I'm 4'11" with a slightly athletic build and weigh between 116–118 pounds. I normally wear Petite Size 2 and dress size XS (hips 36", thighs 20"). I ordered size 27, and they fit great!
The 100% cotton version (Luxor Heat Light Wash) feels lighter and roomier around my thighs while hugging me in all the right places. The low-stretch version (No Referee Short - Medium Wash) feels a little tighter around the thighs compared to the Luxor pair, maybe because they're not as distressed, but they still feel amazing. Both styles have no back gaps, and the high waist hits right at my belly button while beautifully highlighting my curves from the front and back.
