Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Dark Indigo Worn in
I love these shorts ! There comfy and cute hands down one of the best shorts I’ve purchased ! The only thing is that you need to size up ! I’m a size 4 which is a size 27 and I have to size up 2 sizes so a 29. Keep sizing up in mind when purchasing these !

I ordered sizes 27 & 26 to compare because this is my first pair of Levi shorts and I’m not familiar with their sizing. I tried the 27 on and immediately it was too big. The 26 fit PERFECTLY, there’s a little bit of waist gap but that’s just due to my waist. I’m 5’4.5, 139lbs and my waist measurement is 26.5. In other brands shorts/pants I wear a size 6, small/medium. The quality is amazing, I feel like there’s just the tiniest bit of stretch but they’re comfy! The color is super cute too! If you’re unsure of your size, just buy 2 options and try them on, it’s easy to just return the one that didn’t fit, and that way you’ll have a better peace of mind :) ... show more

    • Buy these shorts!!!!
Special Size: Standard Size: 31 Color: (New) Jump Out (Shrink-to-fit)
The media could not be loaded. LOVE these shorts! I found them in Kohls for $15 more and was so happy to find them on sale in the Amazon spring sale. They are so comfortable and great quality. Not cheap or lightweight material, thick jeans material which will last for years. I love the button up fly because it slims out my lower belly and flattens the pooch! They do run small so size up! I typically wear a 29/30 or 8/10 and had to size up to a 31 and even then they fit snug (but I like them snug). They are SHORT so if you don’t like short shorts these aren’t for you. I’m 5 ft 6 in tall, 188lbs. ... 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

    • Amazing Quality + My Go-To Shorts
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: Multiple Choice
Review Image by Lena Brooks
I love these shorts! The quality is amazing and they fit true to size. They’re really comfortable and the material is soft but still feels durable and well made. The stitching also seems strong and has held up really well over time. The fit is super flattering and the length is perfect, not too short. The color looks exactly like the pictures too. They also have pockets, and they’re actually functional and spacious. One thing to note is to be careful with the dryer because they can shrink a little, but once you wear them they stretch back out to the right size. I’ve had them for about five months now and they still look like new, which really shows how good the durability is. Overall, these are soft, comfortable, and high-quality shorts that hold up really well. They’ve definitely become my go-to. ... show more

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

I’m a ✨soft✨ athletic 5’6” around 160 pounds and normally wear a size 28 in jeans. After reading the reviews I sized up to a 29 in the “blow your horn” wash and they fit like they were made for me. I have thicker thighs and they do not dig in at all, and they don’t cut off my thigh-ass either (thass , if you will). There is a tiny bit of stretch so they may loosen up a bit, which would be fine, but I’m going to order the 30 and compare. I do think they run pretty small (I’ve attached a picture comparing the size 29 Levi’s with my BELOVED size 30 abercrombie cutoffs, which are loose and too big on me but I believe to be true to size). The sizing might hurt your feelings a little bit, but try to ignore it! The fit is worth it. ... show more

    • Amazing shorts, but they do not fit me personally.
Special Size: Standard Size: 24 Color: Lunar Black - Black
They are good quality, definitely 100% cotton and they look like actual Levi's. Absolutely 0 complaints on that front. The distressing is stable and doesn't rip further, or go up too high. They do not fit me as I'd have liked. I am 5'6, 95lbs, 24.25inch waist and 36 inch inch hip measurement (smallest and largest measurements), they are loose on my waist when standing and not fully tight when sitting. My butt is just barely covered. Looks like I took scissors to some jeans and went up too high because the back hem is higher than the front. Will edit this review if washing and drying on high heat + stretching the legs works. ... show more
