Love These!

2 years ago
These shorts fit so well and are so flattering on! They run true to size, I am 120 lbs and wear a size 26. These are the quality you would expect from Levi’s. Since buying my first pair, I have been back for three more!

Hot girl shorts!

2 years ago
In looooove with how these fit! I'm a curvy girl, I carry my weight in my lower half (thick thighs) and I was afraid these would cut into my thighs. As they have no stretch. But they did not! For reference I am 5'2 180lbs. So, to my curvy girls go ahead and get them, these shorts will not disappoint!

I’m 195 5’5 with a 33-34 inch waist

2 years ago
I got the 33 because I measured my waste and it said 34 but I was bloated when I measured. They came in and they were lose around my waste and fit perfect around my thighs if I would’ve sized down they wouldn’t have fit my thighs. Overall I am happy with my purchase but will be taking in the waist a inch

Lovely summer shorts

2 years ago
Own multiple pairs of the 501 shorts and they are great for summer. I lost some weight so had to buy smaller size. I went from size 31 to 29 and they fit perfect. Some have stretch some are 100% cotton. Dark blue color that I got has elastan in it so its stretchy. I got 100% cotton light blue color and they just stretch with wear and shrink back after wash. I recommend trying them before buying.

These shorts are so flattering on. They are a little tight but I like that they button up vs zip up. I feel it has more lower tummy control.

Cute! But run small

2 years ago
Love these. Perfect jean shorts. However they run small. I normally wear a 28 or size 6. I ordered multiple sizes. The 31 was my favorite. They fit comfortably, not snug at all. Which is good because they are not stretchy.

summary

These are the jean shorts I’ve been waiting for years to find! The length is perfect—on the shorter side but not at all running the risk of being cheeky. The legs are roomy, the higher waist is comfy, and the fit is so cute. These are my go-to shorts! We shall see if the button fly holds the test of time.

Yes, I recommend this product.
