    Not for anyone with thighs

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Levi’s 501 Curve Shorts in Light Indigo was a complete miss for me. I have muscular/large thighs and had a hard time getting these shorts to fit comfortably with them despite their advertisement of curvy. I was definitely disappointed as Levi’s is know for their durability and well crafted jeans & these just felt like an afterthought. These would definitely need to be tried on before being purchased for anyone that truly does have curves as it is not as advertised.

    Thanks so much for reaching out. Sometimes, something as small as a change in fabric treatment, finishing, or even color can affect the way a pair of jeans fits! So can a slight change in the composition of the fabric. We're always working to make our fits as consistent as possible, so we'll definitely flag this one.

    Great Quality From Levi

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a hard time finding shorts that I feel like really compliment my body type. I always love the quality and feel of Levi jeans and these are no exception. They’re not very heavy to wear and the stitching all seems very well done. These curved shorts fit a little better on women who have smaller hips, and a larger bum. I may not fall into that category as well as the shorts were meant to fit but they feel very comfortable on. They’ve been washing very well and getting softer which I love. One thing that I don’t love about the shorts are the multiple buttons in the front. It just takes so much longer to put on your shorts and go.

    Cute!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are really cute and flattering when on. I think they run a little stiff and the seam at the crotch can dig in at times. The shorts feature all buttons with no zip, so I wouldn’t be comfortable drinking too much in them. I felt they ran small and one size up fit me well.

    Comfortable, flattering, and a summer staple

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the color of these! They are more of a soft cream than a bright white, which I really like. They’re super stretchy and comfortable, with a flattering high waist and the perfect inseam length. they fit my thighs and hips, perfectly, and the deep pockets are a huge bonus! My only small complaint is that the waist feels a little snug on my tummy when I’m bloated, but overall these will definitely be a summer staple for me!

    Great quality and fit well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Levi’s shorts are top quality, fit well and are going to hold up for a long time! They are a sturdy mantle so don’t expect them to be super thin or flexible but they are super nice.

    Good shorts

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter got these shorts and wasn’t a big fan of them. They are a bit baggier than she would like and the bottoms looks kinda funky after washing them. Overall she did say they were pretty comfy and would recommend to someone who doesn’t mind baggier shorts. The fit overall is good and the pockets are good size and usable.

    🙌🏼🙌🏼

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Levi’s are an absolute CLASSIC! The fit is always on point. I love the length of these and how lightweight they are. It’s not quite warm enough here to pull them out, but they will for sure be a staple this summer. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is all the buttons. I prefer zipper- but they’re so cute and will get tons of use!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are super cute and a great quality! They are true to size and seem to be a great denim material. I can’t wait for it to warm up where I live so I can wear them!

    Very cute but sizing is off

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get these shorts, but unfortunately, they don’t fit. I usually wear this exact size, but they are too tight. There is some stretch to the fabric, which I really like. The color is a bit strange though. It’s not exactly white or cream. It looks a bit dirty or distressed.

    Perfect for muscle or curvy girlies

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are absolutely perfect in every way for my body type and for what I like. They’re the perfect length where my booty is not hanging out and not so long that it looks awkward on me (I’m short). I absolutely love that the leg openings are not at all tight! My legs have a lot of muscle and most shorts with a small waist have really small leg opening making my legs look like stuffed sausages. These fit my waist beautifully while giving my butt and legs plenty of room! Just like most Levi jeans, these have plenty of pockets and great construction as well. I also appreciate the length of the leg parts being a tap longer on the inside by the crotch and shorter on the outside showing off some leg.

    Super cute for summer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so cute and comfy! I love that they’re so flexible and soft, especially from the waist, it gives a good stretch. It’s the perfect length for me 5’6”

    Stiffer denim, curve gives more space though

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They’re okay. Personally don’t find them super flattering or comfortable. I will say the curve aspect is great, as they are borderline tight on my waist but have a good amount of room in the hips and don’t squish my thighs. The shorts are definitely on the stiffer side of denim.

    Nice fit and comfortable

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect mid rise fit!! They were sadly a little too small for me but i did like how they fit and adjusted to my body. The shorts are comfortable and don't ride up when you move around.

    Perfect summertime shorts; extremely durable

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay wow….these are some of the most flattering shorts I own now! I ordered my typical size, and they fit perfectly in every area of my bum and legs, thanks to the “curve” selection Levi’s has created for us curvier girlies. They are as comfortable as all of my other denim shorts, and I enjoy not having a zipper since with wear, my shorts zippers tend to get stuck and become defective after years of use-so I know these will last much longer! They aren’t too heavy and the denim is obviously made well and with care as Levi’s typically produces. I will say these shorts are pretttyyy short so I probably won’t wear them on any family vacations, but I do plan on wearing them to some festivals this upcoming spring/summer! They are going to be perfect for that, and the dark wash color matches almost anything you pair it with. They held up nicely after a wash with cold water. Definitely a must buy if you love the Levi’s 501 style.

    Great quality

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts are as expected—high-quality and not cheap at all. I particularly appreciate how the curved shorts genuinely hug the hips and accentuate and support the buttocks.
