  • OMG! 😍✨💫🌟Cutest jean shorts ever!!!!
Special Size: Standard Size: 25 Color: (New) Update Forward
I'm ordering these in more colors! These are so cute and comfortable for reference- I'm 5'2", 115lbs., (37" measurement around the biggest part of my hip/butt area) normally wear a size 25 in Levi's jeans and the size 25 in these shorts fit me perfectly. I do suggest going with the size that fit you best and that you like best in Levi's jeans. This size fits fitted on me but I am a bit curvy for a skinny girl, so if you want a looser fit then size up. These are not tight on me, just fitted, and not loose and they are exactly the way I want them, very comfortable, too! My new favorite pair of shorts! I love how they're short but do cover by butt when I walk which is perfect, short shorts, but classy short shorts. Perfect!!! Levi's you are the best, I love you!!!! ... show more

  • For comfort on the waist when sitting, size up.
Special Size: Standard Size: 28 Color: (New) Blow Big Horns
For reference, I'm usually a 27 in most all jeans. Knowing how Levi's can either be spot on or run small depending on the style, I went with a 28. The 28's fit great, and are a little roomy, but when you sit down, they aren't pushing and pinching and creating any uncomfortable pressure anywhere. They still look great, and just provide more of a comfort factor with a size up. So, if you're going to sit on the boat, or camping chairs or back of a bike, I'd say size up so you don't have a ton of pressure when you're sitting. ... show more

  • Durable Denim/Sizing (see details with weight/height)
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Micro Vibes
Sizing on the chart wanted me to get like a 33 and people said to upsize, so I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will say I am an 8/10 depending on the brand and I got 29s in these and 30s in some others. They fit great and 29 are usually 8/10 when converted to US sizes. I will add I'm 4'11 and 138lbs so sizing is typically a little weird due to my height. The material on these is stiff like real denim is supposed to be, so there's no wiggle room, which is fine they are durable and made to last. My only reason for 4 stars is the thighs are a bit wider than I was expecting/hoping. I also needed to return a 30 for a 29 and instead of making me order a new pair they are sending a replacement and letting me send in the other pair by a certain date for no charge, which I thought was great! ... show more

  • Iconic!
Special Size: Standard Size: 32 Color: (New) Blow Big Horns
Levi's are iconic, everyone should at least have one good pair! Im absolutely in love with the pair I went with and with these in particular, they do run small so size up. They are the type that has a smaller fit around the waist and more of a loose fit in the butt and legs, not sure if that's considered the hourglass shape? I've washed them a few times already and they haven't shrunk so in conclusion, I'm very happy with my purchase! ... show more

  • Perfect when sized right/up
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: Lunar Black - Black
I love these shorts but I had the added benefit of trying them on in a store prior to buying them online. Which saved me from having to return them. I'm 5'4 approx 120 pounds and average a size 4. I already knew to size UP after trying them on prior. I bought the new denim color and Lunar black. I'm a 27 in the new denim and 28 in Lunar black. Often times darker colors fit tighter. They're perfect 👌🏻 but I would agree with so many, size up. I went from a 26 to 27/28. My waist is quite slender so I could have gone up to a 28 and 29 for the minimal shrink that happened in the wash (no heat tumble dry) but they would have gapped on my waist if struggle with waist to hip ratio I would go by waist as they do stretch back out quite fast after a wash. Comfortable, pockets are great, distressing just right, inseam fits well, wash great, feel very durable ... show more

  • No for me
Special Size: Standard Size: 28 Color: Ojai Top - Light Indigo
So cute, but the sizing is way off. Reading reviews, I ordered a size 28 and they are so small. For reference, I am 140 pounds. They were also so short… like “crawling up places they shouldn’t” short.

  • Size up!
Special Size: Standard Size: 25 Color: Jazz Solo - Medium Indigo
So happy I listened to the reviews. I’m in love with these shorts! I’m usually a 24 but reading others reviews I decided to size up to a 25. I’m 5’6 and 116lbs and they fit perfectly. The color and material are perfect. I mean it’s Levi brand so of course that’s to be expected!

  • Fantastic shorts but SIZE UP
Special Size: Standard Size: 33 Color: (New) Blow Big Horns
Great shorts! I love the button fly & the old school 501 fit. These run SMALL. I’m normally a 31 in Levi’s and sized up to a 33 for a comfortable, slightly loose casual look. The 31 on me was so tight I was looking like a busted can of biscuits lol. Great price point as well.
