5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT fit.
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024
Ladies! These shorts are the ONE! For reference, I have a “toned” physique. (Pilates and weights). So I do have thicker thighs etc. I am usually a 28 in jeans, and based on other reviews, went up a to a 29. These shorts have the perfect “relaxed” fit, and to not have any stretch, are very comfortable. For me personally, I can tell that my usual size would have been a little around the waist but likely doable. Happy with the fit of the 29.

I will say, due to the destruction in the front, they are a bit shorter in the front, but definitely full coverage in the back. Easily could be dressed up or down. I had an outfit in mind: (shorts, heels and a long sleeve satin blouse) and they are super cute w some sexy heels. Still not too short with 3.5 inch heels on. I will be buying another wash!

I bought these on recommendation and they did not disappoint! They are shorter than they look, but the sides and inseam are longer so they are very flattering. These were true to size although the waistband does not have much stretch at first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Cute but Short
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024
My teenage daughter ordered these and she loves them. I do find them to be quite short, but she is also tall and athletic build at about 5’9 140 pounds. So she always has a hard time finding long shorts in pants. She definitely won’t be allowed to wear these to school but fine for cute summer outings. She said they’re comfortable and likes the light color great quality of course their Levi’s.

Perfect, comfortable, not too tight. I’m 5’5” about 150lbs. I ordered a 33 and they are a little loose, but very comfortable. I have a hard time finding shorts that are short, but not having my butt hang out. These are perfect! Highly recommend!

3.0 out of 5 stars Runs small, very low buttons
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
Ordered these shorts based off size chart and measuring myself with a cloth tape. Arrived and did not fit - could only button two of the multitude of buttons (there is no zipper and the buttons go to near literal crotch territory). Ordered a size up. Those fit very snug on my butt and slightly snug on my thighs, but there is extra room in the waist. It could be a very harrowing day indeed if I even wanted to squeeze my phone in one of the pockets, which is a shame because the pockets are all decently sized/deep. Then I sat down… I have to pull the legs of the shorts up so they are not even touching my legs or else the lack of elasticity and tightness of the shorts on the thighs would probably at best bruise my thighs and at worst split the pants in half. However, the material feels like it’s decent quality, the note of no elasticity wasn’t a complaint, I prefer this. But if a company’s product isn’t going to match their size chart and doesn’t have the wiggle room from a little stretch, it makes the product a lot less appealing or a likely “go to.” The shorts are still comfy when standing, but near impossible to sit in comfortably.

I recently purchased the Levi's Women's 501 Original Shorts and couldn't be more pleased with my decision.
These shorts are incredibly comfortable. The denim has just the right amount of stretch, which allows for ease of movement without sacrificing the classic denim feel.
The high-waisted design is spot on. It accentuates the waist and provides a flattering silhouette. I followed someone else's advice and sized up, and I'm glad I did because the fit is just right.
If you're looking for a pair of denim shorts that are comfortable, stylish, and have that classic Levi's quality, look no further than the Levi's Women's 501 Original Shorts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cute! True to size!
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024
I don’t usually write reviews, but I wanted to warn everyone not to size based on Amazon suggestion . These are old school, no stretch Levi’s . I normally wear a 2 or 4, xs or s. I sized up to a 4 based on Amazon’s suggestion, and they fit a little roomy. Since they’re original fabric, I’m a little concerned that they’ll stretch out through the day. I’ll update on that after I wear them. I’m fairly straight figured and don’t have a tiny waist compared to my hips, but the waist was roomy too. If you have an hourglass shape, the waist may gap.
