An iconic style that defines your waist and hugs you in all the right places, our 501® Original Shorts are comfortable, leg-lengthening, and perfect for all-around wear. In 1873, Levi's ® invented the blue jean. What started as a piece of clothing for the American worker quickly became an icon of American style around the globe. And every Levi's ® style is crafted with the same high standard of craftsmanship and quality they've always been known for. Worn by everyone from miners and rebels to rockstars, Levi's ® aren't just made to be worn, but to be lived in, too.

    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.

    Did not last

    I ordered the jeans online and it did not have nearly as many tips as it shows on the picture and barely lasted through one wash. After I wash the jeans they were bent and looked like had had been used many times. I thought got the price they would have good quality but sadly I was wrong. Wish I loved them but I don't

    stretch out

    They run small AT FIRST and after a day of wearing them they stretch out alot so i recommend getting your size or a size smaller. Also if you have are curvy your butt might hang out

    So so bad

    I really thought these would be good because they're Levi's but they look and feel so cheap. The material where the shorts are cutoff is so thin, it looks like something I could have done myself. They're also a lot shorter than they look in the photo.
