Buy them!

So cute! Even though they are short they are still so good! I went up one size so they weren't as short as my regular size would have been! For reference I'm a typical size 6 and went up to an 8.

Shorts that might fit a bee, but are far too small for a human lady

These are so cute, but the sizing is wayyy off. Like at least 2 sizes too small and there's no stretch, I don't know why they say they have stretch. So sad they're sold out of all the bigger sizes :(

Runs way too small, I wear a 31 in jeans, compared the shorts to multiple other brands non-stretch fit and these shorts were a clear outlier in size

So flattering

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so flattering! They fit great, are super comfortable and really cute. They are not so short that I feel overly exposed, but not long at all. They give coverage in the important places. I also love that they aren’t low rise which makes me look and feel more slender.

Caution, runs small. Try before tou buy.

I loved these shorts because they had flowers on them. I got my size thinking they’d fit… I couldn’t button them up. I got sad thinking I was fatter than what I thought. I’m a size 30. I’m just going to return them after reading others reviews.

Size WAY up

These are adorable, but run incredibly small. I wear a size 30 jean, size 10 pant, so I bought the 30. I took them home and could not even get them past my hips when I tried them on. I ended up exchanging them for a 33 (!!!).

Daisy denim a must!

Suuuuper cute! Love the little flowers stitched on. So classic and feminine. I got a 27, my usual, got home and laaaaawd were they too small! I am going to exchange and try for a 29. I know denim gives after a bit and I want them to be comfortable, not tight and riding up with each movement. For reference I’m 5’4” 147 lbs.

Very TTS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design. I love the appearance. I love the quality. I did not take a picture because I got a size too small. I thought I could size down one and that was wrong. These are very very TTS!
1 reply from Levi's Customer Service team - 2 months ago
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. So you know, we have a 30 Day exchange policy where you can exchange your item(s) for a different size, free of charge**.

Amazing quality, super comfy and cute! 👖☀️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Levi’s 501 Original Shorts. They’re super high quality and durable while still being comfy. The pockets are practical due to their depth. You can style them in so many ways to create various looks. Something I particularly like about these shorts is that the material from the created rips doesn’t just fall out. They’re also super simple to wash. I know I’ll be wearing these jean shorts all summer!

Nice overall fit, but I hate the buttons

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super cute and I like the overall fit. The pink color is pretty and the denim feels high quality. They are high waisted so I wished I sized up. These shorts also have deep pockets which I appreciate. My biggest gripe is the buttons, they are so inconvenient and the holes for them are way too tight. I can’t even get the second button through so it stays unbuttoned. I wish they used a zipper instead.

Rigid Yet Comfy with a Pretty Muted Pink Wash

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a size 28 and it fits me well. For reference, I am 5’3” and 138 lbs. My denim collection consists mostly of 100% Cotton and 10% of it has Elastane for stretch (I like to use those pairs for that time of month or AYCE outings). These shorts are very comfortable! They’re 99% Cotton 1% Elastane. They feel rigid with a very slight stretch. What I love about them is its beautiful fading and pretty, muted rose pink wash. The pink is subtle and these shorts look perfectly worn-in. They’re a unique addition to my collection. I’m happy with them and I think I’ve found a new favorite!
