My new favorite shorts! Not stretchy; take ACCURATE and comfortable measurements.
By deathbypixel on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2025
The fit is phenomenal; for those who are saying size up, I disagree! Measure yourself with a tape measure after a full meal and understand that this is denim and it has no stretch. You may be accustomed to "false denim" with a high elastane content. Levi denim does not sacrifice quality or durability so expect very little in the way of stretch, an accurate measurement of your waist (much like the male denim industry), and size appropriately. After a full meal, my typical 28in waist measures between 30-31in. So I ordered a 29 to feel comfortable in a non-stretch denim. These are SO comfortable! As another review mentioned, they ride up a bit in the arse, but I find that cute and my reason for returning to Levis time and time again. It's not uncomfortable and the material is much thicker than Madewell for 1/4 of the price. Despite the distressed hemline, I expect these shorts to last a long while as Levis of the past have been quite durable and lasted many years. Don't skip on these if you catch the sale. But sale or no, these shorts are heckin' cute!!

Just follow the product size chart.

Ugh, ordered a 27, instead of 26 because reviews said to size up. Wish i didn’t. Go with your measurements, and their size guide. Fit would have been fine with my actual size. also, these aren’t zip, they’re all button which i didn’t know. Hate that. And not as cute in person. Might return, especially because i’m in the middle of losing weight, these will fall off by the end of next month. am not pulling very hard at all to show the gaps. i’m 5’4 140 lbs, 36.5 hip 28 waist. I wear small pants medium/ l tops. i have one pair of shorts right now from another brand that are 26’s and they fit. Go with the product size guide !!! I just think people don’t know their measurements due to various brands. I do want to note, if you’re okay with baggier fit, maybe 1 size up but i like my stuff fitted.
