I bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them! She prefers the high rise waist and these sit perfectly. They were her “go to” shorts while on a quick vacation to Mexico in mid February.

Confiest most affordable Levi's shorts. They can be dressed down with some fresh kicks or dressed up with a pair of booties. Will definitely purchase in another color.

I had a pair of Levi's 501s that I cut off myself about a 15 years ago. I literally worn them until they started falling apart. They were my favorite shorts. These are the next best thing. The fit is great - I bought them in a larger size for comfort and style. The color is good, although not quite like my original 20-year old pair, but with more use and wear, they'll turn out great. Wish they had more color options. The price is right and delivery was quick.

Super short - I ended up giving them to my daughter as they were too short on me. Comfortable and cute otherwise. No stretch, but I didn’t expect Levi’s to stretch.

I ordered my usual size and it was good. I like the frayed style too. The only thing I did not like is that the material was thin. I like 100% cotton jeans because of the stiffness, but these had no stiffness even though it’s 100% cotton. Thin and soft, I guess it’s ok for a summer shorts but I don’t expect to last more than a season unlike my other cut off shorts which lasts forever.

Nice style but a little loose. I couldve fit in 26, but overall cute shorts.

Look and fit great! Only thing I will say - if you have a larger butt, they do hike up when seated. They were verrryyy short when I sat down. However, they look really good and you can't beat this price for Levi's!

These jeans are cute and affordable. The sizing is a little off, so I had to order a 26 instead of my normal 25.

These are adorable. The distressing is real, and if you're a little klutzy like me, be aware that you might snag your foot on the distressing (multiple times >.>) The leg openings are pretty loose, so they're nice and comfortable. I can imagine them being pretty cute with tights under them and a sweater if you're looking to grunge them up a little bit. If you're on the fence between the Premium and regular version, I can't help you. I ordered both and honestly couldn't tell a difference. I guess Premium has more stitches per inch? Who knows. I'll let you research that one.

Cute, sexy cutoffs! They are 100% cotton so they are not very comfortable at first. You will need to break them in, but it is worth it to get that perfect distressed look.

I wanted to love these shorts, but they look nothing like the model. They are SUPER short - I ended up giving them to my teen daughter.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Waist fit great and they were comfy, but the cutoff in the front was such a weird angle, it got shorter right in the middle of my leg and wasn't just a straight across frayed edge. I just want a normal, straight cutoff jean short!

The whiteboard shorts are not as advertised. They’re only 97% cotton and stretchy, like a cheaper jegging material. Returning.

The shorts are a lot shorter than the model. True to size because there is no stretch. Will return and see if I can get a pair that is longer .

The shorts I received had the style correct and color/distressing details the same as I expected, but I thought the description said these shorts are 100% cotton. The pair I got are 99% cotton 1% elastane? Only reason I checked was because I can tell by the feel of the material.

Agree with other reviews that the sizing on these is a bit off. The waist fits fine but the legs are really tight and makes sitting very uncomfortable. Also, there is no difference between the two color options here. I bought both colors and they are exactly the same.

It wasn't a good fit for my body. It fit too high on my waist and the legs were too big.

I ordered 3 pairs of the 501 High-Rise. Shorts all in size 26 (my normal size) and this pair specifically was 2 sizes bigger and were not flattering at all. I love Levi shorts but these ones didn’t seem normal.

I always have a little gap in the waist of my jeans above my butt, but I literally could fit a small child in the gap of these shorts. I ordered my normal size, same size I’ve ordered other Levi’s jeans in, and the fit was just so wrong. The waist was huge yet the butt and hip area was too small. It’s unfortunate because they look great until I turn around.

After reading some of the customer reviews I thought these ran small so I bought a size 27 instead of my usual 26 (I have many pairs of Levis and I'm always a solid 26). They were massive on me and I had to return them. If anything they run large as I would likely get a 25 if I choose to reorder.
