Hey y’all, Liz here!
I just got my hands on the Levi’s Women’s 501 Original Shorts and, let me tell ya, they’ve been quite the talk of the season in my circle. As a Southern girl now living in the big city, I’ve always had a soft spot for classic pieces that mix my country roots with my urban lifestyle. So, I thought I’d share my thoughts on these shorts, considering I practically live in denim come summertime.
First things first, these shorts are a staple from Levi’s. These shorts are the kind that hugs your waist just right and doesn’t ride up where they shouldn’t. The high rise is perfect for a mom like me who’s always runnin’ after my little Sally but still wants to look somewhat put together when stepping out for an ice cream run or a quick playdate in the park.
But here’s the real kicker, y’all… the sizing. Lord, have mercy! I read up a bunch of reviews before hitting the “buy” button and almost every one of them suggested sizing up. I’m usually a 27, but I went ahead and ordered a 29. Thank goodness I did because these babies do run small. They fit snug but not too tight, just the way I like it.
The style I picked was the classic ‘Blow Big Horns’ color. It’s this gorgeous, slightly faded denim that looks like it’s been loved for years. It’s perfect for achieving that effortless, “I just threw these on” look. Plus, they pair beautifully with just about any top, from cute blouses to just a simple tee.
Let’s talk about the button fly. It’s got this old-school vibe that I adore, but it can be a bit of a hassle when you’re in a rush to use the restroom. Not a dealbreaker for me, but definitely something to keep in mind if you’re not a fan of buttons.
After a few wears, I’ve noticed they hold up pretty well in the wash. No dramatic shrinking or fading, which is a big win in my book. They keep their shape throughout the day too, without stretching out too much, which is often a problem with some other shorts I’ve tried in the past.
All in all, I’d say these Levi’s shorts are a solid choice for anyone looking for a classic pair of jean shorts with a modern twist.
So, if you’re in the market for some new shorts, give these a shot. Just remember to size up for the best fit! Until next time, stay stylish and comfy!
XOXO, Liz
