  • Very comfy!
Special Size: Plus Size Size: 35 Plus Color: Dark Indigo Destructed
Thin material that is definitely like jeggings not Jean. Great stretch and comfort. I don’t think they will hold up for years and years, but for the affordability they are great. Color and look matched the picture!

  • Sizing seems to vary.
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: Lunar Black - Black
I'm 5'5 115 lbs and usually a size 27 in levis, so that's what i got. I got them in "lunar black" and "black deconstructed." Not sure why, since both of these shorts are really similar except for one of them has more rips in them (I can't remember exactly what i was thinking at the time when i ordered, but LOL I do remember feeling ridiculously torn about which ones to get!). Despite the fact that they're supposed to be the same size, the "black deconstructed" pair was too small for me (both too short and tight). They did seem to have a 2.5 inch inseam, so maybe they were just tighter in the waist and forced me to pull them up higher? I don't know, but they measured about 11inches long from the waist band to the bottom on the sides. They're really cute, but small enough that i had to return them. Still considering if it's worth ordering them in size 28 (since i'm keeping the other ones, probably not, but i also feel like i can never have too many pairs of shorts if i like them). The size 27 "lunar black" shorts measure nearly 12 inches long with a nearly 3 inch inseam. They weren't as tight as the other pair and fit me like normal. You wouldn't think it from looking at them though (i don't know if it's the cut or whatever, but they LOOK like they should be shorter than the other pair). I hate that they have a button fly (i find them so annoying!!!) but i like the style enough to deal with it. As for whether you should order up, Levis DOES advise sizing up with these. I ignored that, b/c I was worried that if i ordered these shorts too big they would look like a saggy diaper on me, but now i think one size bigger would be okay, so i say go for it. They are 100 percent cotton, so they'll loosen up with wear, but they could also shrink depending on how you wash. ... show more

  • SO CUTE
Special Size: Standard Size: 28 Color: (New) Darn It Now
I got A size 28 and they were a bit snug. I got them wet and stretched the over the back of a chair and then wore them till they dried and they stretched out. Dont heat dry if you have this problem. They’re cute and so comfy.

  • I own these in several colors
Special Size: Standard Size: 30 Color: Ojai Top - Light Indigo
I have these in multiple colors! Absolutely love these shorts! A must have for every wardrobe. Love the button fly, the color tones, the distress look. Very flattering on the body. I found them to be true to size I ordered a size 29 and I am 5’7 and fluctuate between 140-145lbs

  • Runs small, very low buttons
Special Size: Standard Size: 32 Color: Medium Indigo - Destructed
Ordered these shorts based off size chart and measuring myself with a cloth tape. Arrived and did not fit - could only button two of the multitude of buttons (there is no zipper and the buttons go to near literal crotch territory). Ordered a size up. Those fit very snug on my butt and slightly snug on my thighs, but there is extra room in the waist. It could be a very harrowing day indeed if I even wanted to squeeze my phone in one of the pockets, which is a shame because the pockets are all decently sized/deep. Then I sat down… I have to pull the legs of the shorts up so they are not even touching my legs or else the lack of elasticity and tightness of the shorts on the thighs would probably at best bruise my thighs and at worst split the pants in half. However, the material feels like it’s decent quality, the note of no elasticity wasn’t a complaint, I prefer this. But if a company’s product isn’t going to match their size chart and doesn’t have the wiggle room from a little stretch, it makes the product a lot less appealing or a likely “go to.” The shorts are still comfy when standing, but near impossible to sit in comfortably. ... show more

  • It runs very small
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Lunar Black - Black
I read as many reviews as I could and I went up a size but they are very small. I am usually an 8 so I got a 10. I returned it and will try with a 12. Besides that it is great!

  • True to size.
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Jazz Solo - Medium Indigo
These are the Indigo Blue shorts in size 29. Super cute and flattering and true to size but snug. I recommend to go a size up if you prefer them loose, they’re not stretchy.
