  • Classic, Comfortable, and Timeless
Special Size: Standard Size: 24 Color: Jazz Solo - Medium Indigo
These Levi’s 501 shorts are exactly what I was hoping for—classic, well-made, and flattering. The denim feels sturdy but still has a comfortable fit that gets better with wear. They sit just right on the waist and pair with everything from t-shirts to dressier tops. I love that they have the vintage look without feeling outdated. Sizing is true to Levi’s jeans, though if you like a looser fit, I’d suggest sizing up. Overall, they’re a wardrobe staple I’ll wear all summer long. ... show more

  • Such a cute summer short
Special Size: Standard Size: 30 Color: Jazz Solo - Medium Indigo
Ok, first of all these are such cute shorts and perfect for the summer. They are such good quality and make any outfit cute. I will say my only complaint would be that they run pretty small. I am 5'9 and 160 Ish pounds with some thicker thighs and usually wear a 28 I ended up getting a size 30 and they fit just right. I am probably going to wash them, and air dry them because I am not sure if they will shrink or not. I feel like they have a tiny bit of stretch in them but I wouldn't bank on them stretching a whole bunch more just because of the material. They are a good length I am used to a little longer and they did ride up a tad but nothing too bad. ... show more

  • Runs small & too short but flattering
Special Size: Standard Size: 32 Color: Lunar Black - Black
Okay so first of all, loved these shorts. After reading reviews, I decided to get two sizes larger than what I am. I’m usually a 30 or a size 10 in jeans & I decided on buying the 32. They fit perfectly! I did end up returning because they were too short for my liking. I knew I was gonna keep them in my closet if I kept them (& they deserve better). They are comfy & do not offer much stretch. The quality was amazing & the material was thick. They are very flattering & wish I did not have to return. ... show more

  • Super flattering and this is my second time purchasing.
Special Size: Standard Size: 24 Color: Blow Big Horns
These shorts fit perfectly! The high waist gives a really flattering shape, and the denim has just the right amount of stretch — snug but still super comfortable. They’re cute with anything, from a tank top to a hoodie, and the distressed look makes them stylish without being over the top. I love that they’re long enough to feel comfortable but still have that trendy cut. Definitely one of my favorite pairs of shorts — perfect for summer! ... show more

  • Not the best for curvier shapes
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: (New) Darn It Now
They’re cute but I have a couple of issues with these shorts. First, the button closure is a real pain. Maybe they’ll get better with more wear, but the buttons are really hard to get closed. I’d prefer a zip way more. Second, they’re not the best fit for ladies with thicker thighs and booty but smaller waist. The shorts fit well in my thighs and booty but the waist is a bit loose as you can see in the side profile. They do okay with a belt but I wish they fit better in the waist. ... show more

  • Fun, durable, and old-school stylish
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Blow Big Horns
Love these cutoff jeans! They are durable and look old-school and modern. I ended up buying a second pair. The sizing was on the money and they are comfortable and a fun item to wear in the summer. I highly recommend!

  • Great high waist fitting short
Special Size: Standard Size: 30 Color: Blow Big Horns
Levi’s has figured out the fit for women with a bigger hip to waist ratio I love the high waisted fit and have ordered these shorts in many colors. By far my favorite short. Stretch is limited so if you fluctuate in weight at all, the fit can change dramatically. Overall the best quality though. These do shrink with wash and dry so order up a size. ... show more
