  • Size for stretching
Size: 29 Color: Wise Up (Waterless)
These are the only shorts that always feel flattering so I’ve purchased 4 pairs of these 501 shorts from Amazon. Because I don’t wear Levi’s regularly I had to do a little measuring before my most recent purchase (the black ones) ⭐️BEFORE YOU ORDER- keep in mind these are not made out of the same, damn near legging material that most claim are denim. The size does change with time so if you have the time…order down & stretch to fit. ☀️I wore 2 pairs pretty regularly last summer & on vacations. I couldn’t figure out why another pair didn’t fit me the same when they’re all the same size. ❌This is what causes false reviews claiming that they’re fake or that each pair has different sizing. No, it’s not the case. 👍They’re actual denim & they stretch! Even after drying them they still hold their worn in size. After gaining weight from my super fun friend ✨ Hashimoto's disease ✨I was cautious with what size to get. I wanted to wear them immediately & didn’t have the time to stretch them out. 📏 I simply measured the width of the shorts that fit me (size 27) & ordered that exact measurement (29) & they fit exactly like my 27s, just a tiny bit longer in the back which I don’t mind. I know these will stretch & probably will end up too big for me but that’s what Poshmark is for. ❤️These shorts are super flattering, especially if you’re dealing with a little bloat or a Mommy pooch, c section shelf or all of the above like me. They are short , every now & then you will have to dig them out of your crotch goblin but not too often. They show a lot of leg, I love that! I don’t care what your size is- woman’s legs are beautiful & belong out of jeans!!! 📸Photo disclaimer- my top button is undone - not because of not fitting (these puppies really hold it all in) but because I was trying to put on clothes in a hurry before my impatient friends needed to take a photo. Buy the shorts, they are definitely a confidence boost & Amazon has the most affordable price. ... show more

  • I’m now a believer!
Size: 26 Color: Athens Mid Short (Waterless)
I was a skeptic about these shorts (and their price tag!) but after seeing all the amazing reviews I had to give them a try. I bought my usual size (26) in the Athens mid wash and a lighter pair (that has yet to come). These shorts are AMAZING! They make me want to throw all my other shorts in the trash. They are thick premium denim and comfortable right out of the package, plus hugs you in all the right places (sucks in my mama belly without discomfort and accentuates the booty!). I worried about the length being too short but it’s actually perfect—on me it hits 1-2 inches below the bottom of my booty, so short enough to be “sexy” but not so short things to hang out or show cellulite, etc. The distressing isn’t too overly done and helps to accentuate the legs/give it an overall classic edgy look. Photos don’t do them justice! I wish I wouldn’t have waited until the end of summer to get these!! But now I’m going to get a pair in every color 🥰 ... show more

  • Not happy!
Size: 25 Color: Athens Mid Short (Waterless)
On trying on these shorts the fit was great so I decided to keep them. After removing the tags and wearing for an hour they massively stretched out which I was not expecting because I read they were zero stretch. Now I feel like I should have sized down but I'm stuck with them. For a premium product i am very disappointed. I have better fitting shorts for a quarter of the price. Updated. Tried a size 24 as I love the style but they still didn't work. While the 24 fits at the waist it gives an extreme wedgie at the back as the shorts ride up leaving you having to pull them down. It's uncomfortable to sit also and the back looks weird. This style is not made for me. ... show more

  • Love the fit!
Size: 26 Color: Luxor Heat
These jeans are so flattering. My first ever pair of Levi’s 501 shorts. I’m impressed. I got my normal size (26) & they fit me like a GLOVE!! I love the fit, they hug you in at the waist, perfectly. No gapping at all, with these. They’re a high rise, perfect distressed pair of shorts that are AMAZING quality! Def worth it to invest in a pair or 2 of these! ... show more

  • Great fit!
Size: 28 Color: Luxor Heat
Everytime I wear these, I get compliments. I weigh 140lbs. and I’m 5’4”. I ordered a size 28. They’re not super stretchy but like all original Levi’s after wearing them for about 30 min they loosen up a little bit. I love these shorts!

  • Classic.
Size: 28 Color: Athens Mid Short (Waterless)
Fit a little loose on the bum but you can tell the minute you put them on that they are the classics. I will wear these for years and have no doubt that they'll get better as they age. It felt like a lot of money for a pair of shorts but once I got them I immediately ordered another pair. They are worth it.. Aside from going down a size or two...I have zero regrets. ... show more
