The first ever jean shorts. Modeled after the 501® Original Jeans, these denim shorts were made with our iconic vintage-inspired fit, a flattering high rise and a longer inseam. To this day, they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will. In 1873, Levi's ® invented the blue jean.

And every Levi's ® style is crafted with the same high standard of craftsmanship and quality they've always been known for. Worn by everyone from miners and rebels to rockstars, Levi's ® aren't just made to be worn, but to be lived in, too.

I just found the ultimate must-have for my summer wardrobe: the perfect fitting jorts—yes, the jean Bermudas that are totally in style right now! At 5'4" and a size 25 (or 2), I can confirm they fit true to size. They have just the right amount of stretch, hugging my waist and butt in all the right places while keeping me super comfortable. I’m definitely snagging them in a lighter color too.

Didn't like, got sz 27 it was big but then in some levi I can be 26 27 and these didn't fit and they're for me a bit wide from the thigh leg area like the length, not my style. Returned

I tried the black color of these shorts, and the denim quality is fine and thick - as expected for Levi’s brand. However, as a woman with a healthy rear I have found most non-stretch Levi’s jeans to be a poor fit, and these are no exception. My waist and low hip measurements are 31 and 42 respectively, and I tried sizes 30 and 31. The size 30 fit pretty snug around my waist but I felt certain it would relax a bit after washing (I don’t tumble dry my jeans). The size 30 fit my hips well and made my bottom look good. The problem was that the center/crotch seam was very uncomfortable when sitting, and in my experience this doesn’t go away ever. So I tried the size 31. They were a couple inches too big in the waist, and not nearly as fitted or flattering in the hips. I could wear them lower on my hips but it’s a very relaxed look and not what I wanted. I have 2 pairs of slightly stretchy Levi’s in size 30 that fit me well, so I would say skip these (and any other non-stretch Levi’s) if you have a smaller waist relative to your hips.

I recently lost 70lbs and tried on a 30 31 and 32. I now weigh 154lbs the 31 and 32 where very baggy and the 30 seemed to fit just right . But this was very tight on my thighs and once wearing for a few hours became lose but the waist was tight very uncomfortable. No stretch

Super cute but if you’re one of the girlies with a small waist and bigger butt and thighs it’s hard to find a good size

You’re probably not your “normal” size. I’m a size 12 and I’m a size 33 in these. Well made, nice shorts. I fold them over to make them shorter but they aren’t bad at normal length.
