    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.] These 501 Levi’s Original Shorts are comfortable. The material is thick but cool. The stitching seem sturdy. They fit well but had to size up. I like the flare up style. I would recommend these short and just in time for the summer!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with all levis, the quality it top tier and I was so happy with how thick yet soft the denim was. That being said, I really didn’t like the style of them. The squeezed my legs in the wrong ways and just made me feel like I was being squished. The sizing was perfect, I think it’s just the style that doesn’t work for me. Still so happy to try them out!

    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.

    Fmomma - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
    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.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Levi’s shorts are always tried and true. The 501 shorts are a favorite of mine but every wash does vary in size so be aware. I have similar ones that fit me differently me. They are comfortable everyday shorts that can be dressed up or down. Love the look of them and the quality is amazing. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a small girl it’s always difficult to find women’s shorts that fits perfectly at the waist but I finally found one! I received Levi’s 501 original shorts in white size 23 and the fit is perfect! It also makes the butt look great and lifted! The material is thick enough (not see through) and shape holds well after wash. Highly recommend!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts itself are very cute and I love shorts with rips although I’m a little upset they didn’t fit me. They are meant for someone who has a flat stomach and there’s no room to breath. I would say size up

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was nervous at first when getting these shorts that the size wouldn’t fit just due to losing weight and not knowing my true size. After receiving and trying on, I was surprised in the fit. They were perfect for my waist! I do have a more flatter behind, so they didn’t hug the way I wanted them too. But overall- I truly liked!
