  • so flattering
Size: 34 Color: (New) Pleased to Meet You
love love love these. i’m 5’11” and curvier, these are so flattering. love the longer jean shorts trend, these will last forever. i’m a 31” waist in most other brands (44 hips), bought these in a 34 to be able to sit down comfortably. probably could’ve gotten away with a 33” but wanted room for bloating lol. ... show more

  • Will buy more colors!
Size: 30 Color: (New) Take Off
The forever issue for me of shorts beings tighter in the thighs but super loose in the waist. Frustrating but to be expected!!! I do really like these. I got the 30's which is typical sizing for me. I'm either a 29 or 30. I'm tempted to get the 32'a for a looser leg and then have my alterations lady take in the waist but we'll see. Will definitely get other colors. ... show more

  • Good short
Size: 30 Color: Case Closed
Too pricey for my preference but it's a great quality short. Size 30 is a bit too big for me, and 29 too tight. Have to return for this reason. But will buy back when I lose bit more weight.

  • Great!
Size: 29 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
Absolutely love these shorts! I also get compliments on them and ask where they are from, what brand, etc. looking into the reviews made it clear I should stick around my normal size maybe size up 1 and I’m so glad I listened. They fit and look awesome. Great quality, comfortable, nice color options! ... show more

  • decent shorts
Size: 30 Color: (New) Pleased to Meet You
they fit perfectly!! I ordered a size up bc the reviews mentioned that and it worked nicely. I didn’t realize that there’s no zipper on these, instead they are button fly shorts. this is kinda annoying convenience wise, but doesn’t affect the sizing for me. also the Levi’s tag on these back almost feels like paper or cardboard?? idk but I’ll probably seam rip it off since it is a bit annoying texture wise. also these aren’t exactly sitting shorts since they’re stiff, but good if you’re standing a lot and perfect for my summer job! ... show more

  • Great shorts, but zero stretch
These are great! They are very flattering, I got my true size which is 27 for Levi's jeans and shorts, I'm 5.4 height, 130 weight. Completely agree that they have zero stretch, so if you are looking for a looser fit, definitely size up. They are very well made, fabric is pretty thick. I wish the fabric of the pockets matched the black of the shorts as the torn part reveals it a little bit but it doesn't bother me, they still look great! ... show more

  • Smallest shorts in the world, were these meant for juniors?
Size: 30 Color: Fade Off
The shorts are cute but my god do they run small. I was sizing up to a 30 because I put on weight but putting these on felt like I was still trying to squeeze into a 27. Bought two other Levi size 30 shorts that were a different style and they fit perfect as they are supposed to. So I’m assuming this style of pant is the issue. Returning the 30 and thought about sizing up, but I think I'll just pass altogether. Ladies just remember these shorts don’t reflect your true size! These pants are just small as all heck. ... show more

  • Very cute
Size: 30 Color: (New) Take Off
Super cute shorts. I did not find the reviews of the shorts being too small , accurate. I have two other Levi’s in the same size and these arrived and fit as a loose fit as advertised. If you want a tighter fit size down .
