  • These shorts are fantastic
Size: 31 Color: (New) Disco Nights
I love Levi’s so much and I have a few different pairs of their shorts. These specifically, 501’s need to be sized up because they don’t have as much stretch as the other shorts that they offer. I usually wear a 30 but went up a size and they fit perfectly. I love these because they hit mid thigh and I’m pretty tall so they are perfect and super comfortable. I can bend over and I am covered, revealing nothing. These are button fly and I have a bigger tummy and they are comfortable for me which is hard to find. They can be worn multiple times and not stretch out. These are just a great pair of shorts! ... show more

  • Definitely worth buying!!!
Size: 31 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
I’m so happy that I bought these shorts. The material is soft but feels durable like they’ll last a long time. I usually wear 29 but I got a 31 because I looked at size chart & measured myself just in case and it’s accurate. It’s all buttons and no zipper no stretch at all. They cover my cellulite & they are more on the modest side for shorts. I live in the south and it gets so hot during the summer I need shorts but I don’t want them too short. Definitely worth the price. I can’t believe I had these sitting in my cart for so long. I should have bought them a long time ago. They ride up a little bit but not too bad since they are pretty long. Reading other reviews made me nervous because I’m not the type of person to return things so it’s always a gamble for me. I’ll definitely be buying other colors. ... show more

  • Sizing?
Size: 28 Color: Case Closed
I have a light wash pair of these from the Levi’s site and decided to get them in black. Same pair of shorts but I had to go up to a size 28 for these instead of the 27 I have directly from Levi’s. Other than that, a nice mid length and fit. Easily exchanged for the correct size.

  • Classy!
Size: 29 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
Good, classy pair of shorts to own! I ordered a size up based on reviews and they fit me well. The only issue was that the brighter blue one was too bright for me and I needed a more lighter greyish wash so I returned this one and bought the other color (ticked n untied). There is a slight size difference of about half a size - ticked n untied fit a bit more snug around the waist and the ride height also felt higher. Pockets are deep enough and these are probably worth the $$ ... show more

  • Fit true to size
Size: 29 Color: (New) Take Off
I ordered one size up from my normal Levi's size, and I definitely could have ordered my normal size. I would say these run true to your 501 size. I'm keeping the size up because it allows for a little looser fit. They hit mid thigh, and as a few other reviews stated, I didn't run into the problem of them being too tight on the thigh area. Enough length that you can roll them a couple of times and still have butt cheek coverage. Overall a great short! ... show more

  • Likely going to be a USED product!
Size: 31 Color: Case Closed
The product itself is great. I love the fit, classic Levi’s, exactly what I expected. The seller however, sent me a pair of worn and washed shorts. No tags, no official packaging, and obviously not new. I have no problem wearing used clothes, I shop resale all the time. I DO have a problem with paying $50+ for a new item when that’s not what I got. I’d never pay $50 for used Levi’s in a shop, I shouldn’t expect that from an Amazon seller - I’d go to EBay for that, and it would be clearly labeled as USED. Based on the other comments here, many people sized up and probably attempted to shrink them in the wash. That didn’t work, so they returned them. Is the seller actually allowed to send out “new” orders with used returns? We see it a lot I guess, so just be aware this is likely to happen with your order from this seller. ... show more

  • Favorite shorts EVER
Size: 27 Color: (New) Multiple Choice
New favorite shorts! I love how I can wear them longer or roll them up, depending on the look I'm going for! They are just perfection. I have a couple washes in my true levis size that I get in all their jeans. And I also have a pair that I sized one up in and honestly love all of them. I could probably even size one down and still be comfortable so idk what that's about but I'm not complaining! ... show more

  • Great quality, not for my body type.
Size: 32 Color: (New) Pleased to Meet You
These shorts are super nice. The material is thick with little stretch. I normally wear size 10 or 12 in jeans and bought a size 32 in these shorts and they fit, but I don't feel comfortable becuase they're a bit tight from the waist. Even the most slimming tops gave me a muffin top. Also they were a bit long for my 5'1 frame, but I knew they were 6in . Just fold them and they look great. I loved the thickness of the denim but I normally wear fitted tops and these were unflattering on me. I weight 160lbs and carry most of my weight in the mid section. Since I don't fully love how they look on me, I'm gonna return. Attached are some pictures for reference ... show more
