They are not joking when they say to size up. I feel like these run pretty small due to no stretch. BUT! Once you find your size, omg these are so cute! I’m 5’3/175 and usually wear a M/L or a size 30 but had to size up to a 32 to find a perfect fit. I can already tell they are going to be my go-to summer shorts. Material thickness: Super thick jean material. Feels sturdy and also provides a bit of compression on my lower belly which I love! Pocket size: Pocket size is super practical. Plenty of room for your phone and doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall out Look: I love the vintage Jean distressed look. These are just the perfect jeans shorts.

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.

OBSESSED! I have searched high and low for mom style jean shorts that are still fashionable and mid high wasted and these are exactly what I’ve been searching for!! The only thing that I don’t love is that there is no zipper, it’s 5 buttons which is a little putsy to have to do everytime you go to the bathroom but it’s worth the hassle for high quality shorts - the material is super high quality with fantastic stitching, pocket size is perfect, great color and so so comfortable!! Once I got the first pair, I ordered 2 more in different colors!! I have photos of two different colors below

Very cute pair of jean shorts. They do loosen throughout the day but not much. They’re true to size, comfortable and so cute! Perfect for summer. No color bleeding on initial wash. They don’t leave dye on your skin like dark wash jeans tend to do. There’s no heavy chemical smells. Just the perfect summer jeans

The fit is phenomenal; for those who are saying size up, I disagree! Measure yourself with a tape measure after a full meal and understand that this is denim and it has no stretch. You may be accustomed to "false denim" with a high elastane content. Levi denim does not sacrifice quality or durability so expect very little in the way of stretch, an accurate measurement of your waist (much like the male denim industry), and size appropriately. After a full meal, my typical 28in waist measures between 30-31in. So I ordered a 29 to feel comfortable in a non-stretch denim. These are SO comfortable! As another review mentioned, they ride up a bit in the arse, but I find that cute and my reason for returning to Levis time and time again. It's not uncomfortable and the material is much thicker than Madewell for 1/4 of the price. Despite the distressed hemline, I expect these shorts to last a long while as Levis of the past have been quite durable and lasted many years. Don't skip on these if you catch the sale. But sale or no, these shorts are heckin' cute!!

These jeans are so cute! They fit really well and are pretty comfortable. I got even got two! Also, they are super high waisted. My only issue is the buttons and that the lighter pair fits differently than the darker- they are much tighter! So be cautious with the size.

Very comfortable. These have decent sized pockets for women’s shorts. I recommend sizing up one or two sizes from the recommended size as they run small. Especially if you have thicker thighs. They are higher quality than other shorts and do have a bit of stretch.

Amazing shorts!! I've always wanted a pair of Levi's, but I was always skeptical - don't be!!! Amazing fit, even for a mom in her 30's :) ... Denim is thick and will wear for a long time, very comfortable, color is perfect (worn, but not too worn). Just perfect. Highly recommend!
