Levi's Women's 501 Original Shorts (Also Available in Plus)

For reference, I'm usually a 27 in most all jeans. Knowing how Levi's can either be spot on or run small depending on the style, I went with a 28. The 28's fit great, and are a little roomy, but when you sit down, they aren't pushing and pinching and creating any uncomfortable pressure anywhere. They still look great, and just provide more of a comfort factor with a size up. So, if you're going to sit on the boat, or camping chairs or back of a bike, I'd say size up so you don't have a ton of pressure when you're sitting.

Levi's are iconic, everyone should at least have one good pair! Im absolutely in love with the pair I went with and with these in particular, they do run small so size up. They are the type that has a smaller fit around the waist and more of a loose fit in the butt and legs, not sure if that's considered the hourglass shape? I've washed them a few times already and they haven't shrunk so in conclusion, I'm very happy with my purchase!

Love these Levi 501 shorts! I originally ordered 2 pairs in my usual size 30, but when they arrived I tried them on and they were both too short (cheeks out) and very tight. I returned them and decided to go up to a 32 in the black because that pair was not as short as the Indigo worn in pair, they are the perfect length only reason for the 4 starts is they are kind of loose in the waist but that's OK I would return and try a 31 but they weren't available in that size, worn them out and got lots of compliments about how cute they were! Great purchase if you get them on sale even better! Just ordered the Indigo worn in pair in a size 32 can't wait to see how they fit!

I love these shorts but I had the added benefit of trying them on in a store prior to buying them online. Which saved me from having to return them. I'm 5'4 approx 120 pounds and average a size 4. I already knew to size UP after trying them on prior. I bought the new denim color and Lunar black. I'm a 27 in the new denim and 28 in Lunar black. Often times darker colors fit tighter. They're perfect 👌🏻 but I would agree with so many, size up. I went from a 26 to 27/28.My waist is quite slender so I could have gone up to a 28 and 29 for the minimal shrink that happened in the wash (no heat tumble dry) but they would have gapped on my waist if struggle with waist to hip ratio I would go by waist as they do stretch back out quite fast after a wash.Comfortable, pockets are great, distressing just right, inseam fits well, wash great, feel very durable

Great shorts! I love the button fly & the old school 501 fit. These run SMALL. I’m normally a 31 in Levi’s and sized up to a 33 for a comfortable, slightly loose casual look. The 31 on me was so tight I was looking like a busted can of biscuits lol. Great price point as well.

So cute, but the sizing is way off. Reading reviews, I ordered a size 28 and they are so small. For reference, I am 140 pounds. They were also so short… like “crawling up places they shouldn’t” short.

Super great deal when on sale. I had to order one size up to what I usually wear for comfort. But these shorts are not too short and are perfect for summer. I bought them for a Hawaii trip so I'm excited to wear them!Only thing is that I heard Levi's on Amazon vs Kohls vs actually store are made of different material. I'm not sure how true this is but it does feel solid and not cheaply made. This is my first pair too so I don't really have any other to compare it with but I'm satisfied with thr fit and look.

I love these shorts. I have a 26" waist and 34" hip and weigh 110lbs. I'm a 24 in Levi jeans, and my old pair of Levi shorts are a 23. I read in the reviews that these shorts ran small, and I find that to be true. I ordered a 24 instead of a 23, and when they arrived I compared the sizes of both shorts. I included a photo with new pair size 24 on top of the old size 23 pair. You can see in the photo that they appear to be the same size. I cannot speak for the other styles of shorts, but for this wash I can say that you'll need to size up. They don't have a lot of room to stretch and will shrink up a bit after wearing, so keep that in mind before ordering. Can't really beat Levi denim. I'll always wear Levi's!
