My favorite shorts!

2 months ago
So I’ve loathed almost every pair of shorts I’ve ever tried. I’m short at 5’3, and while not overweight at around 135lbs, I carry a lot of my cushioning in my butt, hips, and thighs. Wearing shorts for me was always a struggle between tugging them down and dealing with a gapping/huge waist but almost always too-small thigh openings. I’ve never loved my legs because I always felt like a stuffed sausage in shorts but these have brought out a new sense of confidence that I actually CAN wear shorts (and not have to deal with pants/jeans/long skirts in the hot summers). At nearly 38 years old, I appreciate that these are not tight, have a nice high rise, and are not too short! In Levi’s jeans I wear 27 or 28 depending on the style. I decided to size up to 29 in these to allow a bit of room and I am glad I did. The waist is a tad big but when I am standing straight up but once I relax/ sit, it forms to my waist perfectly with no rolls. These will be perfect for form-fitting bodysuits!

Yes, I recommend this product.

size UP!

9 months ago
So these are great but they run so small it’s not even funny. I don’t like tight shorts, I want them to be flattering and comfortable. I sized up 2 sizes and if I order another pair next summer I will size up 3. If you put aside feeling bad about sizing up (it’s definitely the shorts, not your body!) then they look so good and feel comfortable. I’m usually a 10 in other brands but size up to a 31 (12) in Levi’s but I got these in a 32 (14) I’m 5’5/168 lbs.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought these for my 16 year old daughter. She loved the color and the especially the fit of these particular Levi's shorts. After trying on lots of other brands, she kept coming back to these. Would highly recommend!
