    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are the style and quality I expect from Levi’s. I love the button fly and the rise is perfect. I got the size I usually wear in Levi’s jeans, but wish I sized up for these shorts. They fit, but are a little tighter than I prefer for shorts.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fit of these shorts. I like how the buttons go all the way down. The material is comfortable. I don’t like how you can see the pockets in the front but the back does not seem to be see through.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These 501 original shorts in white are perfect– not too short, not too long. They fit true to size and are super comfortable. The white color is more off-white/ivory than pictured, though. Overall great shorts!

    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.] I like the wash and distress, but I’m not super keen on just the buttons rather than a zipper. I also ordered up a size, and they fit me just right so I’m not sure if they maybe run small?

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so so cute and I cannot wait to fit into them lol they definitely run smaller than my Abercrombie shorts in the same size. They have a tiny bit of stretch, but I would definitely suggest sizing up.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are so cute I don’t think I’ve owned a cuter pair of jean shorts. Unfortunately they are a little tight but that’s my fault not theirs lol. I would probably size up for comfort but they are pretty true to size. They are shorter than I’m used to but they are super flattering. I love the rips and distressing.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these shorts as part of a promotion. The fabric is good quality and they are thick enough yet also soft. They are pretty true to size, but if you’re in doubt I would size up. I wish they were a little bit longer as I am 5’8 and they feel a little short.

    [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.

    Rolls up

    Fmomma - 1 month 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.
    sizing: true to size

    [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!
