I've been looking for a new pair of jean shorts that are well made and have a nice fit. Jean shorts by denim brands like Frame and Mother don't come close to the 501 high rise. Love the light fraying at the bottom and the wash isn't to dark. Fit is comfortable and there is just enough room at the top so that these lay nice against the body without being to tight. Highly recommend.

I recently got these ultra-low rise shorts for my 16-year-old daughter, and she's absolutely loving them. They're stylish, with a nice 2.5" inseam and a secure double button closure, and they really flatter her hourglass figure without showing too much skin. It makes me really happy to see her happy in them, especially knowing they're made with recycled cotton fiberādefinitely a win for her summer wardrobe! So much so I now have to scavenge for retro levis. Brings back so many memories and experiences when I was her age š«¢ where did that time go ? I KNOW! She will have much fun in hers as I did š

Bought them a few days ago, for reference Iām around 61kg, 22 year old female with 26inch hips and slight curves but Iām slim and 5 foot 6 in height. Arrived quickly but couldnāt do up the buttons, they could barely pass my bum there was no chance. If you have even a little bit of a bum with slight curves even as a slim woman, donāt stay true to size, size up. By at least one size but Iād recommend 2. Only stay true to size if youāre not curvy in the slightest. Otherwise, the shorts themselves look good, exactly like the pictures - I bought the ojai luxor heat, colour and design was the same. Seeing them in person, theyāre a bit too light so Iāll be going for a darker colour and larger size next time. They do cover your bum from what I was able to see, they donāt ...Ā MoreBought them a few days ago, for reference Iām around 61kg, 22 year old female with 26inch hips and slight curves but Iām slim and 5 foot 6 in height.

Disappointing because processing returns and refunds can be stressful.

I'm not a huge fan of denim shorts - have yet to find the perfect pair, so I decided to try these 501s since I wear 501 straight leg jeans. I have an athletic build, 5'2"/ 130lbs and ordered a 27 and a 28. The 27 fit like a glove, but since I have thick thighs I didn't like how tight it felt around my thighs. I could have kept the 27, but didn't want to be constantly pulling them down. When I tried the 28s, there was a pretty big difference between the two sizes. I swear the 27 felt like a 26 and the 28 felt like a 29! If I had a little more hip/thigh room, the 27 would be the perfect fit. The 27 fit nicely in the waist, with a little bit of room too, and of course my derriere looked fantastic! But, I decided to go with the 28 to be more comfortable, a looser fit.

I can always belt the shorts to really snatch my waist in, or even leave the top button unbuttoned and roll down the waist band. Excited to wear these when it starts to get warmer! They also look great with my cowboy boots! For my curvy girlies, go up a size.
I have been struggling with finding my size in the various styles of Leviās shorts and jeans as sizing seems to be a bit weird. To be fair, I donāt really think itās that the waist of measured wrong, I think the fit is whatās really making the hide difference. trying to navigate āhigh waistedā jeans has been close to impossible. I hate high waisted jeans because I have a TINY torso. However, these are acceptable and Iāll get over myself.I love 501 (100% cotton) and these shorts are great. Cute, sweet, and kinda make me feel like a Dallas cowboy cheerleader? Need to order some cowboy boots ig.I ordered a 25 and a 26 to see which fit better because in another 501, I have a 25 and theyāre pretty great. Maybe a bit snug they relax with wear. the 26 fit better but ...Ā MoreI have been struggling with finding my size in the various styles of Leviās shorts and jeans as sizing seems to be a bit weird.

Maybe a bit snug they relax with wear. the 26 fit better but Iām contemplating exchanging for a size 27 so they wonāt be so tight when I bend over and squish my ribs (you know, due to the tiny fricken torso.)I am 118 pounds, all legs and overall not shapely. My butt is non existent so donāt expect these to give you one.Leviās, PLEASE BRING BACK 501 MIDRISE in a regular length and not ācrop.ā Come on. itās winter time. Mid-rise jeans are a true high rise on me. Iād reallly appreciate not having my pants on my ribs.Anyway, theyāre cute and hopefully theyāll stretch out with wear.
Pros: high-quality, 100% cotton, made well, true to size, super cute, machine washable and dryable, button fly, high-waisted, true to colorCons: noneThe Leviās High-Rise Jean Shorts are really nice! These shorts are extremely cute, they are made well, and they fit true to size. I am 5ā4ā, 105lbs, 40ā hips, 23ā waist and these fit me exactly how I anticipated them fitting, they measure true to size but I always have to take the waist in so I expected that, but it fit great in the hips and the length. These shorts are 100% cotton and the quality is extremely nice. They do not have any stretch. I really love that they are high-waisted and the worn detail is exactly what I expected.

They are made well, they look cute as expected, and fit where I expected them to. I would absolutely recommend them!
I have almost every single current wash/color and style available of the Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts. Vague Finish is one of my favorite washes/colors/styles this season. It's a great mid-town neutral blue with sort of an almost acid and antiqued wash. It's sort of a lighter wash/version of "The Future Is Now." It's a perfect casual denim short that can be worn with just about anything. And, it can even be dressed-up with heels fand a leather jacket for a night out. I am always a size 23 in Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts. I find Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts sizing to be super consistent and reliable, and the quality is unparalled (way better than more expensive brands that are way overpriced). I recommend purchasing when these go on sale (which, thankfully, ...Ā MoreI have almost every single current wash/color and style available of the Levi's 501 Original Fit Shorts.

These are completely unflattering. I have other Leviās shorts that look great, but these flare out in the bum and leg area. They make it look like I have no butt. I ordered my usually size 23. I am 5ā2ā around 100lbs for reference. These were also a completely different color than the photo. I got the Oxnard Athens - Medium Wash. They are actually closer to a dark wash. Will be returning!
Beware. Shorts run large. I bought size 27 because that is my actual waist size but I measured them and they are actually a size 28. Sadly I will have to return them. Quality, rigid, 100% cotton denim with a button fly, which I prefer. I thought maybe these were shrink to fit but they are not. The raw hem on a few of these styles seems a little overdone to the point where they don't look like they will last very long. Just a conjecture. Will purchase again in a smaller size. Hopefully I can return these bc they are very expensive!
Iāve purchased many Leviās jeans and shorts and they used to be great quality. I wore these once and the thigh ripped within 2 hours. I wasnāt doing anything crazy in them, going shopping, sitting down at a restaurant and walking around. The thigh started to rip and continued to rip until it was through the jean material to the part that was intentionally ripped, and the hole was massive. I canāt wear these out now, and customer serviceās only solution was to exchange them. I donāt want to get another pair and have them potentially rip too? Not happy with the quality Leviās has become.
