So cute

4 years ago
I love the fit and color of these shorts! Following the measurements was perfect for sizing. I took away a star because the hole for the buttons is super small, so the buttons can be frustrating! My fingers hurt just trying to unbutton them the first time, but I know the fabric will stretch. I still highly recommend these shorts

Good quality on sale

5 years ago
Got these on sale and of course they are the quality denim that I always buy Levi's for. The button fly assemblage when worn is a little bit wonky (the buttons don't smooth out as well) but since they're black it's not as noticeable. I still think I like high waisted 501s better but these are still fantastic. Love them!

The shorts are a little shorter than I expected, but they still cover my butt! The high waist is super cute and the fit, color, and quality is great. Be careful if you have bigger hips/butt than waist because there will be a waist gap, but nothing that a belt can't fix.

These shorts are all I’ve been looking for. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that they developed SUPER fringe after I washed them which is a bummer but other than that I love them. If you’re looking for a good pair of high waisted shorts these are the best.

Great shorts!

5 years ago
Love these shorts! They're a size 26, but a little large for me so I'd go down a size next time. The shorts are a nice, stiff denim so you don't feel like they're going to fall apart in the next wash. I've had these for seven months now, and they still feel like new! They have a button-up fly which helps with its structure, and a distressed hem for a more casual look. They're a great pair of shorts and would definitely recommend them.

Great for small waists and bigger booties!

5 years ago
I love these shorts because they're fitted around my waist and actually fit my butt and thighs! They fit pretty similarly to the ribcage jeans, so if you've tried those and liked the fit these will be great. The length is good and I don't have any issues with them rising too short throughout the day.

Super cute shorts!

5 years ago
I have an hourglass figure (5'4", 135 lbs) and I often have a hard time finding shorts that fit well and look flattering. However, these shorts are perfect! They are comfortable and I love the fact that they button up - no zipper means they will last forever. Only giving 4 stars because the color is slightly different than the photo - not a true blue jean, but still super cute and easy to style. I listened to the reviews to size up (usually a 27 in Levi's and ordered these in a 28) and I'm glad that I did! Long story short, if you're looking for a solid pair of shorts for summer, and you're curvier on the bottom like me, look no further. #sweepstakesentry

This particular wash was correctly advertised

5 years ago
The two washes that I purchased, Urban Oasis and Charleston Chill, both fit true to size like a glove! The Urban Oasis wash is super cute and as advertised. The fit is great. However, it looks like the Charleston Chill wash is no longer available due to NOT being correctly advertised. When it was still available not too long ago, it was advertised with a finished hem (pictured below), when in reality you got a raw hem. This was not a one-time defect as several other reviewers had the same complaint before the Charleston Chill option, and therefore also its reviews, were removed. Would LOVE it if Levi’s would correct the issue by making plans to sell the actual finished-hem shorts shown in the photo!

Size up if between sizes

These are so flattering and the color is great too. I usually wear a 27 but I kind of wish I had sized up for those because they don't stretch. The high-waist feature is amazing and looks cute with crop tops etc.

Finally an actual ultra high waist

6 years ago
I searched everywhere for the perfect super high-waisted shorts, and this pair is the only one that comes close to what I was looking for. I love that it comes all the way ABOVE my belly button, and it makes my butt look great. My only complaint is that it's kind of tight in the crotch...wish it was just half an inch longer, but it's only a problem when I sit for long periods. Feels great when I'm walking or even squatting. I'm normally size 25, and I bought 25 and 26 to try on. I kept the 25, so it's true to size (for reference I'm 5'6 and 110 pounds).

Runs small in the hips/butt

a year ago
“Fitted through the hip and thigh” No kidding. These are extremely tight in the hip and thigh, and I am not a curvy woman. I normally wear size 24 in Mother denim, so I thought size 25 would fit me here. Nope. Not only is there no stretch, but the cut is very straight, which is to say, the size that fits me best in the waist is too small for my (not even wide!) hips. Size 26 was too tight for me in the hips as well. I guess these are supposed to be oversized, because I will need a size 27 that fits extremely loose in the waist…

Runs small

I bought the same size I buy all my Levi's and they did not fit at all. It may require at least one size up. I find this very annoying because if it's the same size in numbers why is it not reflected on the item?! The design is nice and looks like the picture, with the exception that they didn't look that short on the model. I will try and exchange the size if available.

Nice fit. But too many artificial rips and wear.

I like the cut and fit of these shorts a lot. However, I do not understand why they take a grinder to a pair of brand new shorts and rip holes all over them. They need to offer these without all the premature wear and tear. They are plenty cute without the excessive rips.

Comfortable, but not that flattering

4 years ago
I bought these in the Charleston color and loved the color and the quality of the fabric. The shorts were really comfortable and hit at a great length, but the fit just flattens out your butt. I have the ribcage full length denim and found those super flattering, so these shorts were a bit disappointing.

These shorts are really cute, but the sizing was off for me. I recently bought a pair of rib cage shorts size 29 from Levi’s so I got these in a 29 and they were too small. Also the holes to button up the shorts are way too small as well. I would size up in this wash
