Classic denim shorts with a structured fit
Size: 24 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo (Non-str...
These shorts have the classic Levi’s look and feel like good-quality denim. The waist is flattering, and they pair easily with almost any casual top. The fabric is more structured than stretchy, so I recommend checking the measurements carefully or sizing up for a more relaxed fit.

My go-to shorts this summer
Size: 30 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo (Non-str...
These are easily my favorite shorts this summer. The fit is super flattering and they have that classic Levi’s look that never goes out of style. The denim feels high quality and holds its shape without stretching out too much during the day. They’re comfortable once you break them in, and they pair well with pretty much anything. I also like that they’re not too short or too long—just the right length for everyday wear. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a staple pair of denim shorts! ... show more

Great shorts just wish there was a zipper
Size: 30 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo (Non-str...
Really good quality shorts but wouldn’t expect anything less from Levi’s. The denim color is the perfect light color I was looking for. The height in the front is slightly shorter than in the back so that’s nice not having to worry about your butt hanging out. High waisted right below the bellybutton which is perfect for me. Only down side is it’s not zippered, it has buttons. If there was a zipper that would make these shorts 5 stars. ... show more

Cute distressed shorts but size up!

Love these shorts! These Levi’s run small. I usually wear a 28 and ordered a 30 because that’s what was available. I’m 5’1”, 135 lbs for reference. They’re distressed and shorter in front which are perfect for us short gals.

OK, not great

The fit was super weird ended up having to return. Tried to read all the reviews for sizes and fit, but still didn’t work for me. There was no stretchiness in the material it did have pockets does have the normal waistband durability seems like they would hold up like a normal pair of jean shorts. It was just a fit that was weird ... show more

3 years post purchase- 1990’s genX staple

GenX here. I’m writing a review to respond to all the comments about the “bubble” on the butt. In the late 80’s/ early 90’s the girls used to steal their brother’s 501’s because these were not made for women. Women’s jeans weren’t made for girls with athletic butts and we LOVED the little bubble in the back. It was a thing. When I found these shorts I was so so happy. 3 years later, I’m writing this review because they’re still my go-to summer shorts. 100% worth it! 5’7” 132lbs ... show more
