    • Love it!
Size: 29 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
Review Image by María Isabel Montealegre
I think these shorts look really flattering. The fit is great, especially around the waist and hips, and the length gives them a relaxed, casual vibe. The denim wash is classic and easy to style, so they’d work well with pretty much anything.

    • Perfect Classic Denim Shorts
Size: 26 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
These 501 shorts are everything I wanted in a classic pair of cutoffs. The denim is sturdy but softens up after a few wears, and they hold their shape without stretching out too much. The length is just right—not too short but still flattering—and the high rise makes them super versatile with crop tops or tucked-in tees. A timeless style that feels like it will last forever. Definitely worth it. ... show more

I’m 5’7, 135lbs, on a scale of Kim to Kendall butt, I have a Kourtney. And I got a size 28 (: *I did originally order a 27 and it was wearable but not at all breathable, 28 was perfect. Pros: The quality is great. They’re a true vintage high rise fit. They are loose enough to breathe and be comfortable which is perfect since there’s no stretchiness in them at all. They are great coverage, so even if you bend over your butt cheeks won’t show. Cons: So while they fit perfect around the waist and hips, the cut off at your legs is horrendous lol. In the last picture, the piece I’m holding was attached with strings that went over my thigh but it was so bad and even tighter than the actual shorts so I had to cut them out. The third and forth picture show what I mean, sitting down you will have biscuit can bulging thighs, period. Lol and they roll up when sitting down so it can get really uncomfortable quick…and as you can see the space on my waist and belly area even when I’m sitting so it’s not that the shorts are overall too small. When standing they aren’t tight around my thighs at all though. Also, in the third pic when I’m sitting, that poof that looks like my belly is actually space just more space in the shorts. Lol. The last two cons I have aren’t really cons that just are weird little things about the shorts that bug me but not enough to actually call them cons. So first one is the crinkle on the butt in the center area. I dont have a huge booty but I have a booty, if that makes sense, so it’s just a weird thing they do I guess. If you have a bigger butt you may not have that issue idk. The second thing is there’s 5 buttons. Which isn’t an issue expect the lowest one is LOW lol and it can be a booger to get them in the loops as some of the loops are not that big. So to sum it up, they’re great shorts for anything that doesn’t involve a lot of sitting. ... show more

    • So cute!
Size: 27 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
You do need to measure your body as Levi is tried and true to its sizing. I was lucky enough to own a pair of Levi’s high waist jeans to know my sizing. They don’t waiver and are accurate with all of their sizing. These Jean shorts are adorable! They fit comfortably and perfect, help with flattening and flattering the stomach with the high waist. They’re also flattering on the back. If you’re able to measure they really are the PERFECT brand and will become your favorite go to! Levi’s are hands down my favorite jeans brand for 3 decades now and will always be my go to. They’re going to be so flattering. The rips on these shorts are not too crazy and appropriate for all ages! Get them BE SURE TO MEASURE and you’ll love them as well! ... show more

Yes yes yes! I have been searching for the perfect pair of blue jean shorts! These are them! So worth it! I’m normally a size 3/5 in Kansan style jeans. I did a 29 in these. A little loose but I love them.

    • Wish the sizing was more accurate, but still cute!
Size: 33 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
These shorts are super cute! I really love the color and style, but the sizing is WAY off. I typically wear anywhere from a 12-14 in jeans. After looking at reviews, I sized up to order what I thought would fit like a 16. Unfortunately they are pretty snug. I am hoping after a few wears they will loosen overtime. I would size up two sizes if you are a curvy girl like me! They do not have much stretch to them, but good quality denim. ... show more
