Levi's Women's 501 Mid Thigh Shorts

I found these exact shorts at Target, but they were sold out of my size. I hopped on Amazon and there they were! I feel like these run a little smaller than other brands. I usually can wear a size 30 in jeans, but I got the 34 in these shorts and they fit perfectly. I love the weight and the quality. I got the Fade Off and I love the light look. I am in my 50's so I didn't want them to be too short and these are perfect.

Great fit, very flattering. I am curvy with wide hips, large butt and thicker thighs and these shorts fit so well around all the bits. I appreciated that the shorts did not dig into my skin in the thighs while sitting and have a nice stretch to them when bending down or sitting. I ordered them on a prime day sale, but would absolutely order them full price because these are quality, comfortable Jean shorts. Fit: Loose, but not frumpy Comfort: Very comfortable for shorts Length: Good length — especially for moms

These shorts are fantastic! They fit true to size and are comfortable. The buttons aren’t hard to adjust. They are durable shorts. Also a good length if you are trying to avoid inner thigh chafing.

I purchased these in two different sizes and colors. The darker pair is a SIZE 30 in the color (NEW) MULTIPLE CHOICE, while the lighter pair in a SIZE 29 in the color (NEW) TAKE OFF. For sizing reference, I'm 5'3", currently 145 lbs with measurements about 40"-30"-40" (bust-waist-hip), and I'm wearing size 4-6 in jeans or a medium in bottoms in most brands right now. Another random note but I have a shorter torso with longer legs (proportionally), aka I rarely wear short length in pants and even mid-rise bottoms hit pretty high waisted on me. For the sizing, I would say they’re about the same as their normal 501s, meaning they run a little small, especially if you have larger hips or butt. I comfortably fit into a size 6/28 in most brands of jeans, even in some Levi’s, but I went up 1 and 2 sizes in these. The denim is thicker and stiffer, and since they’re shorts, I’d just rather they be looser than tight. The 29 fit tighter but was still not too tight; I had room in the thighs and some in the waist, but I did find they were a little tighter in the waist than I wanted, especially when sitting. The size 30 was a tad looser than I prefer, but I would rather that than too tight, so I stuck with those; I have quite a bit of room in the waist, so they’re more comfortable to sit in. I have thick thighs from years of soccer and found both sizes pretty forgiving in that area, even with the solid hem on these two colors (I was worried it would be stiff). I can sit without looking like my legs are being cut in half, lol. As for the style, I love the length! They’re just long enough to hide the back of the thighs but not so long they look like men’s shorts or Bermuda style, and they protect the upper inner thigh where most of us tend to chafe. You can roll or cut them if you want them a bit shorter. I do think these make me look a bit like a mom (which I’m not), but that’s OK, haha. Another note is that they sit really high on my waist, but like I mentioned in the beginning, that’s a common problem for me as a torso-lacking girl. The description says it sits below the waist, so I guess they’re supposed to be mid-rise. Who knows? Not me. As for the material, like I mentioned, they are a thick, durable denim with a tiny bit of softness but not a lot of stretch. They’ll eventually loosen and soften after some wearing and washing, but they’ll be stiff for a while, and the button fly doesn’t help, so keep that in mind. I personally wouldn’t wear these out if I knew I would be doing a ton of sitting, but I’d have no problem otherwise. On the bright side, I’m sure these will last years and years of wear, only getting better with age. As far as the colors, they’re both great closet staples. Multiple Choice is a standard medium denim shade, while Take Off is a lighter wash that looks worn in and actually feels a hair softer. They’re both safe choices, depending on what you’re looking for. Overall, I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a longer style of shorts. Just remember that you may want to consider sizing up.

LOOOOOOVE these Levi cutoffs!! They are my favorite jean shorts. They fit loose revise I sized up on purpose. Levi’s last forever and they are the only jeans made to form to your body. Great quality and perfect fit!

I’m gonna start by saying I bought these solely based on the pictures/reviews! but what I got was not similar or what I was expecting! They are still really comfortable and work for what I need, but the look was not was I was going for at all. For reference, I’m 5’2, 148lbs, pretty pear shaped and ordered a 30. The thigh fit was really loose to the point where I folded it up (which negates the cut look) and the buttons kind of dug into my belly at first. I know they’re Levi’s so they’re expected to be worn in, in order to fit you best. There’s also like a line of buttons, not a single button like shown in the pictures, which is a pain but they’re easily done up. I was gonna end up returning them because of all this, but wound up keeping them because I think I can make them work.

Very cute short shorts! They are stylish and just long enough. They are a good value for your money and comfortable.

In reading many other reviews, I was under the impression that these would run very small. I’ve experienced other Levi’s shorts that did run small, so I originally ordered these two sizes above my normal size. Note that the color was the Pleased To Meet You dark wash. When those were way too big I tried ordering again only one size up and still too big. So I ended up making a third order of my normal size and they fit perfectly. I’m wondering if it depends on the color, which you would have no way of knowing if the color you wanted would run small. I gave 4 starts for lack of clarity on sizing, but otherwise these are great. Super flattering, they are perfectly high waisted and hit at the right spot on the thigh to make legs look slender and long, are a good length but don’t look like Bermuda’s. They’re 100% cotton and do have a little give in the fabric, and aren’t as stiff as I was expecting based on other reviews. Very comfortable. Love the button fly.

So I ordered these in a 29” waist first. They came as a short length light wash rolled hem. I ordered bleached wash mid length frayed hem. So needless to say I was annoyed and disappointed. I returned those for a full refund and reordered in a 30” waist. Although 29 would have fit better the 30 was fine, I tried this as some reviews said they fit snug and no stretch. These definitely have a little stretch but not as much as the first (wrong) pair. Overall I would buy again at the price I got.

I really like these and sized up as per the recommendations. This is size 27 and I am usually a 25-26. I could have gotten away with the 26 as these are big on my waist but then I think the thighs would be too tight. They are comfortable and the material is soft but holds its shape. They look flattering on but I do wish they were made for a smaller waist and bigger thighs…

These jeans are so cute and comfortable. True to size!. Lightweight. Can wear them all day long. They don’t roll down. Color is amazing. I can’t wait to order another pair. Don’t hesitate add them to your cart!

Trop petit! Je prend toujours la meme grandeur dans les jeans levi’s sans problème et ici je ne passait la mi-cuisse

They’re high waisted, so measure that area for the right sizing! I’ve gotten lots of compliments on them, plus they’re comfy! Not super thick denim either.
