    These Levi's are very comfortable and cute. My only feedback is that they are pretty short and ride up when you sit down. I would recomend sizing up.

    These run small and the sizing on Levi's shorts is super inconsistent. I own a pair of this style (different wash) in a 26 from a few years ago (also purchased at Target) and they're too big in the waist. I'm a 25/0 with most brands. I tried on a similar pair in store of 24s that were too tight. Ordered these in a 25 and I couldn't get them up my thighs. I also ordered these in black in a 25 and they fit perfectly. 5'1 120lbs, muscular legs

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is great, they are comfortable, but the fit wasn't perfect. They are a bit too wide in the leg. The quality is awesome, what you expect from levis!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Levi’s 501 Shorts are a true staple — classic, comfortable, and stylish. The high-rise fit and button-fly design give them that iconic vintage Levi’s feel, while the raw hem adds a laid-back, effortlessly cool vibe. The denim is sturdy but soft enough to move in comfortably, and they break in nicely with wear. I love that they’re super versatile — you can dress them up with a blouse and sandals or keep it casual with a tee and sneakers. The fit is flattering without being too tight, and they come in a variety of washes to match any style. If you’re looking for timeless denim shorts that hold their shape and never go out of fashion, the 501s are absolutely worth it.

    Wow…. so I don’t typically write reviews, but I am always in search of a good pair of jean shorts….And I found them! these are awesome. The only negative I would say is the fact that it’s a button closure but other than that, they’re awesome. They not too tight, they wide enough for your legs and are “mom pouch” friendly.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the wash and distress, but I’m not super keen on just the buttons rather than a zipper. I also ordered up a size, and they fit me just right so I’m not sure if they maybe run small?

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so so cute and I cannot wait to fit into them lol they definitely run smaller than my Abercrombie shorts in the same size. They have a tiny bit of stretch, but I would definitely suggest sizing up.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So cute and such great quality! The material is clearly very durable. I do think the sizing is a little bit off, because these ran a little smaller than other shorts I have in this size.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are so cute I don’t think I’ve owned a cuter pair of jean shorts. Unfortunately they are a little tight but that’s my fault not theirs lol. I would probably size up for comfort but they are pretty true to size. They are shorter than I’m used to but they are super flattering. I love the rips and distressing.

    Classic Fit

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 501 Original Jean Shorts for free from Levi's & Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I usually prefer Levi's over other brands, and these shorts are no different. The denim is very durable and doesn't lose its shape throughout the day. Because there isn't much of a stretch, and you do have to keep that in mind when sizing. Because of the durability, all of my Levis last season after season, and these are no different. The Original 501 are considered high rise, and I think they sit really confortably on my waste. The 501 is a classic style I continuously go back to and would recommend to anyone.

    I thought paying for a better brand the shorts would not roll up during wear or after wash. They roll up just like all the other shorts. I do not want iron my jean shorts! But I love the style and fit.
