A stiffer and sexier pair of denim cut offs!

My favorite pair of denim shorts. They compliment my waist and legs and have just a hint of stretch. I don’t like high waisted denim that is stretchy. I like a stiffer denim to help
“suck in” my little “pooch” and look more Put together (less sloppy). I’ve gotten many complements when I wear these shorts and truthfully I feel great wearing them. They
are a tad on the shirt side but feel like at 44 years old, I should rock short shorts for those my age that just can’t. I own another pair in a different color and am looking forward
to buying a couple more colors. They wash and wear well, even after wearing all day long. They keep their shape and feel more comfy after they’ve been worn f...

Cute 501's

I like that these are old school jean shorts without stretch. I tried on several pairs at the Levi store but they didn’t have the size/color I wanted. I purchased 2 pair here but still
couldn’t find the right fit. I’m around a 4 (5’4” 115lbs) in every other companies jeans so based on the chart that would be 27. The waist is fine, they are just are too big
around my thighs, very short and not very comfortable to sit in-so maybe these are standing shorts if you can find the right fit ;)

Cute in the front, Flat in the back!

These do run small, and the lighter color that would be pale blue, Ojia Blue maybe, runs the smallest. The two I own did not stretch at all. They have not been machine
washed yet, just surface washed and sprayed with Bounce spray. The biggest issue with all of the Levi’s 501 shorts is the backside fit. They smoosh any curves you might have
on your butt, or called a bum if you’re British, Irish or Australian. The front looks great, even when they are slightly tight in the waist, but the back has a flat look. The cut of the
shorts doesn’t curve around the butt. It has a stiff and flat look in the back. Even after wearing them over and over, the material doesn’t get that soft and relaxed...

originally posted on kohls.comDifferent sizing than other 501 shorts
28 June 2024
I bought these in the beginning of June in the same size that I have other 501 shorts (sized up from normal). I took the tags off assuming they would fit the same and then had surgery on my leg. I was just able to finally get them on and they run way bigger. I want to return them and go down in size so they actually fit, but unfortunately don't have the tags, even though I've never worn them. I don't know if it's because these have stretch and the others I own are rigid or what. I am so disappointed especially considering these are more expensive than others I've bought. I would try them again, but would recommend sizing down.

I usually have to buy curvy fit jeans because my waist is considerably smaller than my hips/butt which is 44.5”. I’m usually a size 28 curvy fit in True Religion, or size 5 or 7 in fashion nova jeans (depending on how stretchy it is), a size 29 in Rock Revival (which are very heavy jeans and have no stretch), and a size 29 in these shorts fit me perfectly. I absolutely love that these are mid rise because I sincerely hate high rise shorts. They shorts go just underneath my belly button, and I love it since I can wear it with crop tops. I got these shorts in white and I love that they’re thick enough to not show my black underwear that I was wearing. It’s hard to find thick white shorts nowadays.

I want to add that if you DO want to wear these in a high rise style, you will be able to do so by simply pulling the shorts up, and your cheeks still won’t show. Additionally, the waist band is slightly stretchy, but if you want to avoid muffin top, just go with your usual size. I was honestly afraid that these shorts would flatten my butt or that these shorts would look weird on my figure, but they didn’t. I’m blown away! I didn’t think I would love these shorts this much. I highly recommend these for every figure. I would like to add that if you don’t have a big butt and are skinny all over, go one size down if you want a tighter but still comfortable fit.

9 May 2024
I loved the fit and the color but whoever trimmed these is nuts. The crotch was trimmed about two inches longer than the front and totally uneven. I wore Levi jeans in the 70’s. We made cutoffs as soon as school was out and wore them all Summer. These look ridiculous! Even one of the photos above shows it if you’re looking for it. I’m returning these.

Soft, stretchy, comfortable, big pockets. This style has the paper jacron instead of leather or cloth, which always irks me very slightly but it's still surprisingly durable. It's attached with a single line of stitching so if you hate it it's easy to remove. I'm actually a length 28 in trousers but that's always sold out so I make do with 30s. Like most white and very pale "jeans" these stretch twill trousers will show bold patterned knickers, or vibrant colours, and I think they'd be liable to show tattoos too. I don't have any boring nude knickers anymore but I had some peachy pink tye dye ones and they worked the ticket for not showing. I am enjoying the 721 for high rise comfort.

I'm so confused by the reviews. I saw these at Target tonight and the size 24 looked like it could fit a 2 year-old. I tried on a 32 just for fun because that was the only other size they had and they fit! They were a little loose in the bum but I liked how they fit in the waist and ended up buying them. I may return them though. For reference, I normally wear a 28, sometimes a 27 or a 29, never bigger than a 30. Either buy in the store or order a bunch of sizes to get the right fit.

The shorts that I received from an online order did not look anything like the ones in the picture. They were the right size, and they were black however, they were heavily distressed. The lower quadrant of the right leg was mainly just distressed holes and strings. In the picture, they simply appear to be cut offs. I took them back.

20 June 2024
The shorts are very stylish and fit well. I sized up for a more relaxed, 90’s fit. The shorts are short and slightly shorter in front than back-that’s the style these days. I have the light blue wash with the holes in the front and the darker wash. I am gonna give these a try and pull them down a bit for a mid rise fit and extra inch to the length! Very beachy and sooo summer!
