    These Levi’s 501 Original Fit Shorts in “Disco Nights” are such a cute, timeless pair! I love the high-rise fit because it really snatches the waist and gives that classic vintage look without trying too hard. The denim feels sturdy and good quality, but still comfortable enough to wear all day.

    I just bought a similar pair of Levi’s last week in a size 29. They were a bit tight but wearable. I tried these in a size 30 and they are somehow smaller than the 29s. I could barely get the buttons to go through their holes. They are cute and definitely a pair I wish I could wear immediately. THEY DO NOT STRETCH!

    Run Large in the Waist

    I really like these shorts, but they seem to run big in the waist! I ordered a 25, and I have a very large gap (at least two inches) at my waist. The fit is good everywhere else though, so I’m debating whether or not I should size down.

    High quality Denim Great Price

    These are high quality Jean shorts. I love that they have buttons down the fly instead of a zipper. They are wide hip big booty friendly! I’m wearing a size 29. These are a solid closet staple that will last multiple seasons.

    Color seemed different

    The color seemed different in person. I also did not like how they looked on butt. The pockets seemed too small, so it made my butt look bigger. I wanted to love them though. I have a light colored pair I love, and I am on the search for a nice darker color too. I will be returning these. Good quality and fast shipping, but I personally did not like.

    Shorts of the summer

    These jeans are the perfect fit! Loose enough in the thighs, yet tight enough in the waist. Will definitely be wearing these the rest of summer!

    Tiny

    I ordered up a size and they were still SO small. Couldn’t even pull them over my butt. They’re cute, so it’s unfortunate and I just don’t have time for things to not fit.
