  • Not quite true to size / size chart
Special Size: Standard Size: 25 Color: Ojai Lake - Light Indigo
Hip measurement of 36 inches, but size 25 fits comfortably at the hip despite size chart claiming 35 inch hip. Natural waist measurement of 24 inches, at 5' 1.5" the waist hit right at the bottom of my navel / natural waist and fits slightly loose but with minimal gapping relatively speaking. Just long enough to cover everything when bent over. Overall decent fit & looks good. Tag is paper, not leather. Products looks as pictured in person in terms of wash/color. Would buy again in different washes, but might consider size 24 for when I'm at the lower end of my 105 - 115 weight range (post holidays, weight tends to be 110 - 115, but during summer more active lifestyle & lower appetite takes me to 105). ... show more

  • I like it
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Ojai Lake - Light Indigo
I’m 5’3” and 145lb, size 29 fits comfortably and looks great! The style I picked is all buttons, no zipper and no stretch.

  • Loose from waist
Special Size: Standard Size: 30 Color: Lunar Black - Black
Okay so I’m having mix emotions about this lol.. I love how they look, but the waist area seems too big. They fit me perfectly on my legs and butt and my butt doesn’t hang. I have more of a small waist and huge bottom. So I do feel them a bit tight on my butt and around my waist is a little loose. I am 5’2 163lbs. I order a size 30 they fit me good but my butt feels a little tight and my waist a little loose. There’s no stretching. But other than that they do look nice ... show more

  • Nice fit
Special Size: Standard Size: 30 Color: Lunar Black - Black
I’m 5’10”, weigh 154 pounds with a 30 inch waist and 38 inch hips and these shorts fit perfectly. The material is pretty sturdy and the shorts are flattering. I haven’t worn them out yet so I don’t know how comfortable they will be in the long run but like most Levi’s they get more comfortable the more you wear them. I’m happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • Runs small! But really cute
Special Size: Standard Size: 31 Color: Ojai Top - Light Indigo
I kept the 31, and returned the 30. I’m normally a 29, but the waist is super tight and runs small., and given the reviews, I knew to order up one size, but the waist was still tight, with no give, no stretch. So order two waist sizes up if you are not super fit with rock hard and. Iam not even obese or really overweight, just so you’ll have an idea . I’m pretty active, but just not rock hard abs, and this pair of shorts runs small in the waist , and actually even in the hips and bottom, and I have slim hips and bottom. Overall, I think they are cute for summer and I just wanted a nostalgic throw back to wear! ... show more

  • Perfect staple for summer. Must have.
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: Whiteboard - White
Levi’s are wonderful additions to any wardrobe. I wanted a white pair of jean shorts for summer and they didn't disappoint. They have a bit of stretch and will loosen up after a few hours of wearing but not enough for the shorts to look sloppy. They are extremely comfortable and very flattering. I always receive compliments when wearing them - they make your butt look great. I already own several other pairs in different colours. I found the sizing a bit large. I had to size down twice but thankfully, returns/exchanges with Amazon are effortless. If you have never tried these jean shorts, buy them. You'll find yourself reaching for them constantly. They hold up wear after wear. I wash inside out and hang to dry. ... show more

  • Great Fit
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: Medium Indigo Destructed
These are some of my most favorite shorts I have bought in a while. The more rigid fit helps hold everything in and they are still somehow comfortable.
