These shorts are very cute! I’m 5’10 152 lbs and ordered a 29. They fit nicely. My only complaint is after wearing them a couple of hours around the house, they stretched out and hung off me. I’m going to size down and see what that results. Overall, good quality! I’ve always loved Levi’s.

Absolutely adore these shorts!! they are perfect and fit me, like. a. glove. yes they get a little snug on the thighs when i take them on and off but i can work with that for how they feel. wait that might be a problem when im sweaty but i haven't gotten there yet lol. the quality though is amazing, real denim and has that perfect amount of stretch to move in it. the shorts are a bit snug when i bend over too, i think i jsut need to wear them more lol. they are so comfortable to wear! i would say that they are decently light and not too heavy, im not thinking about how heavy the shorts are, they are perfect! i'm so happy i got these, ive been looking for jean shorts for years now and these fit me perfectlyyyy hugging every part of my bum and quads aghh so happy i got these! the only thing i would change is to get a zipper, i feel like it could be risky if i really have to pee and i have those buttons. i mean im just happy i got these shorts! get them!

I have been researching these shorts and other shorts for a while now on Amazon. It's so hard to buy the right fitting shorts online but that's the only way I shop anymore. I read how some people say to size up by 1 or 2. I'm typically in a size 6 (or 28 in these style measurements). I typically buy really stretchy pants/ shorts and these are not advertised for that. I have thinner thighs/ legs but a bigger midsection/stomach. I want them big enough in the waist but not too big on my legs so my body is tricky. I saw a lot of thinner waisted girls with bigger thighs which seem to work perfectly with these shorts but I'm the opposite body type. I debated a ton on even getting these and if so what size??!? The struggle is real lol! I ended up pulling the trigger when they were on the big spring sale for around $20. I bought the very light jean color without tears and went up 2 sizes to a size 30. I got them, tried them on and was pretty happy but they could be better in my opinion for my body type. The legs were very wide but the waist fit perfectly!!!! I decided to keep as I love how they were slightly lose on my waist which never happens but the downfall is the leg openings are pretty big. I definitely think these were made for thin waisted big thighed gals. They have the buttons instead of zipper which are nice but also more time consuming if you gotta go lol. They seem a bit stiff but I have yet to wash them (hopeful they shrink a tad and aren't so stiff). They have pockets which I love. The length was pretty good too, I was afraid they would show my butt but they do not. I'm going to keep them and hope I don't look ridiculous in them lol. I absolutely love the waist fit but I wish the leg opening was a bit tighter. It is hard to fit all body types and so I understand that. Pros: The color options are excellent! I prefer the extremely light jean wash myself. I like the fabric how it's not super clingy. The hip area doesn't stick tight on you if you get the right size. Size up!! The length is good, not exposing too much. Cons: The leg opening is just too wide. They seem unproportionate to the waist. I would prefer the sizing to be more accurate as well. I don't like the high price, it is too expensive to pay $40+ for shorts! Overall, I bought a pair on sale and had to size up by 2 sizes. The waist is perfect but leg openings are way too wide. Length is decent. I will keep and see how they go. I give them a 4/5 overall. If your body type is different, you may like more than I do for that reason. Just size up and good luck!!! Update after wearing: I know I was slightly hating before about the leg opening being too wide but I am kinda digging it now. I was so used to tight stretchy shorts before. Now these have honestly been my new favorite. After I washed them, they weren't so stiff. I love how they are not super tight in waist and they still give a good shape. I even ordered another darker pair. I added a star and I really do like these! Highly recommend!

LOVE these shorts. I’ve been looking forever for a pair not too long, not too short, without shredding. I’m usually a 4S in Levi’s but these, I got the 28 due to the high cotton content and no stretch. They’re a little big (I can fit a fist in the waist) but once they’re washed, should be perfect. I’m 5’ 130lbs.

I never usually write reviews but I’m disappointed. I love Levi’s, I have countless pairs of jeans and have gotten them for my little ones as well and want to love these as they are great quality, fit nicely, and are very cute but the thing that’s stopping me from loving them is that they don’t zip in the middle, they button. And it’s not just a simple few little buttons, it’s 5 or 6 very difficult buttons that you have to almost weave in to the hole and it honestly keeps me from wearing the shorts every time I go to wear them. Disappointed in the way these were decided to be made because like I said they’re super cute and great quality but I honestly can’t get on board with the buttoning it’s extremely hard to button one then move onto the next one without the first one coming undone. Too much of a hassle and a stressor for a cute pair of shorts. Shame

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.

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, 136lbs 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 :)
