    [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.

    Quality pair of white shorts for summer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Levi’s 501 original shorts high-rise easy through the hip and thigh are classic high-quality shorts. I received a size 26 however, I recommend sizing up at least one size or two. I normally wear a size 26 but the 26 didn’t fit so I went out and purchased a pair myself so that I could test these out. I’ve been on the hunt for a non see through pair of white shorts. I highly recommend these. The quality is great and they are priced right. I find them to be comfortable and like that they are not too short or too long. I’m happy to now have a pair of white shorts that I don’t have to worry about my shorts being see-through because these are not. These Levi’s are the perfect pair of white shorts for the summer. I love the copper detail. and the button fly to me brings back a little nostalgia. These will be my go to for white shorts this summer and many years to come.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this a four mostly because of the button fly. I know that's a key feature of this style but I just hate having to do them up. The sizing seems pretty good on these, and there's a little stretch to them which is nice. We will see how these will hold up over time because they have stretch and aren't just cotton. The white is a warm white, closer to antique white.

    [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.] 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.
