    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.

    Not for me - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
    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.

    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

    HonestTargetReviewer - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
    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.

    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.
