  • Very distressed item, but is what kids want!
Size: 27 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
A bit overpriced, considering the distressed styling — but bought for granddaughter. The 27 fit me (at 80 I am still trim, and they look good, but too short for most women). They will look fantastic on 6’ skinny granddaughter.

  • The perfect pair of jean shorts!
Size: 25 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
I am 5’4”,120 lbs and I ordered a size 25. This is my usual size in Levi’s. The fit is exactly what I was hoping for, snug with a tiny bit of room! These shorts are a great length and go a tad longer in the back so that your bum doesn’t hang out! The quality is perfection- they’re Levi’s (worth the $!!). I will be wearing these all summer! :) ... show more

  • True to size!
Size: 27 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
True to size for me! I’m 5’2 120lbs with a muscular build and my normal size 27 fits me perfect with plenty of room if they shrink in the wash. They do run short.

  • STILL THE MOST PERFECT SHORTS
Size: 23 Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
Quality is great! There’s no stretch so make sure to check the sizing chart before purchasing to make sure you grab the right size. I am 110 pounds and 5 foot three and I got a size 23. The buttons are a little hard to button at first, but I noticed after wearing a pair all day it did get easier. The color was spot on and they hit right at my belly button which is what I wanted. Over all definitely worth the purchase! ... show more

  • Love these shorts!
Size: 26 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
Why did you pick this product vs others?: These were my first pair of Levi shorts and they are so cute! I think all Jean shorts are uncomfortable so if you’re looking for comfortable these aren’t it. But they are very cute and fit just right. I love the high wasted look and are the perfect length to still have some coverage! ... show more

  • Sizing Runs Small, Not Good For Curves
Size: 34 Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
Super cute shorts but just not for curvy girls. They fit but are so stiff and uncomfortable I know I’ll never wear them. They look great when standing, but are not flattering at all when sitting because they cut off the circulation in my thighs creating rolls. I want to love them so bad but unfortunately they just aren’t gonna work for me. I’m a size 29 in other short sizes and I sized up to a 34 in these. They are loose around my waist creating a gap but too tight around hips/thighs. Returning. If you are a slimmer build, def get them though because they are super cute! ... show more

  • Love them!…..**but!!
Size: 27 Color: Ojai Frost - Light Indigo
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
