Great shorts for us curvy girls!

5 years ago
I bought these and was nervous about the fit, since it was an online order and kind of pricey for what I typically spend on jean shorts. I am happy to say that the fit was great and these shorts make me feel like a million bucks! I have a curvier figure and don't typically gravitate towards shorts, but the higher waist on these is just right. I love to tuck in or just do a front tuck with a simple belt. The light distress to them makes me feel like a cool girl and the higher waist makes me feel like a seventies style icon. Since they sit a bit higher on my waist, I tug down the back every now and again when wearing them to ensure booty coverage, but I think that's just me being self concious about it. I really am happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend as a great, classic pair of denim shorts.

Super sexy

I tried these on at a retailer one day and fell in love with them but they didn’t have the size I needed. I was super excited when I found them online and on sale! These shorts make everything look REALLY GOOD! Your butt, your hips and your thighs will look amazing in these! And they can be dressed up or just worn with a tshirt. #sweepstakesentry

Love these! More stretch than others.

6 years ago
I have multiple levi’s shorts and these are my favorite! I am typically a 26 or 27 in the ribcage or wedgie shorts but I find these ones to have more stretch and I’m actually a size down. With other shorts I typically get a gap in the back but I never have that problem with levi’s. #sweepstakesentry

Staple piece!

I bought these shorts over 2 years ago and can say that they are absolutely apart of my staple wardrobe. They are mid-rise and fit perfectly to size. They shape your bottom nicely as well which is a plus! Definitely a summer and spring short. #sweepstakesentry

I bought these a while ago when I was a size 24 and they fit at the waist moderately well. I am not a 25 and they fit great and compliment me. Love the color , it’s a really jean blue.

Perfect Summer Shorts!

I recently bought 2 of these pairs. One last summer and one this summer. They are favorite shorts! After washing and drying once they have the perfect fray. These are an essential item to have for the summers. Love that they aren't too short either.

No lower back gap

I rarely can find a pair of jeans shorts that fit me without having to wear a belt due to a gap around the waist/lower back. Very happy to have found these. Fit great hugging the body and comfy. #sweepstakesentry

A good fit!

6 years ago
I weigh 55kg and am 165cm tall with an athletic body shape. I am usually a size 26 in stretchier levis, but since the 501s are a sturdier less stretch denim, I buy them in a size 27. The shorts fit perfectly in the thighs with just a little bit of extra room in the waist that can be easily solved with a belt if it proves to be an issue (but I don’t think it will be, a 26 may be too small). They are not too short, my butt is not hanging out which is nice! I think I’ll get a lot of use out of these.

One of a kind find.

I originally purchased these shorts at the times square Levi's store. They instantly became my favorite.I accidentally left them at a hotel in myrtle beach. I was so happy to find them online. They are very specific and original so i wasn't sure until i opened the package that they would be the same. I wish that i had ordered two pair.

These are perfect! I bought my usual size, 27. They’re tight when I first put them on but they loosen with wear and are very comfortable. For reference, I’m 5’9 and 135 lbs. Highly recommend!

Favorite Denim Shorts

6 years ago
I'm a die-hard light wash fan however I ordered these in Indigo Avenue and I couldn't be more obsessed. They are the perfect mid/darker wash and could be worn with any top. Although they have a reputation of running small, they fit true to size for me (5'1" & 98lbs). I'm so grateful I found these shorts because they are so cute and flattering.
