Levi's Women's Mid Length Shorts - Slim, Stretch Denim Fit

Our review of these Levi's Women's Mid Length Shorts finds them best suited for women who want a classic denim short that balances coverage and a flattering silhouette. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a mid rise and easy slim fit with a hint of stretch, which creates a comfortable, shaping look without feeling restrictive. The shorts feel substantial in material and are cut to sit at the waist while providing thigh coverage that many customers-especially those who want to avoid chafing-have praised.

Key Features

• Mid Rise: Sits at the waist to give a balanced, comfortable fit that works with tucked tops and casual tees.
• Slim Through Hip: The slim cut follows the body's shape for a flattering profile without being excessively tight.
• Stretch Denim: A hint of stretch adds comfort and movement so the shorts stay comfortable during warm-weather activities.
• Two Inseam Options: Rolled 4 1/2 in and unrolled 6 3/8 in inseam offer flexibility in how much leg you want to show.
• Thoughtful Rise and Leg Opening: With an 8 1/2 in front rise, 13 7/8 in back rise, and 21 1/4 in leg opening, the proportions favor coverage and a flattering rear appearance.

Who It's For

These mid-length denim shorts are ideal for women who want modest thigh coverage while keeping a modern, slim silhouette. They work well for anyone who prefers a true mid rise that sits at the waist and values denim that holds shape and feels durable.

Shoppers looking for very loose, oversized shorts or athletic performance fabrics should look elsewhere; these are denim with light stretch, designed for everyday wear rather than intense workouts. Also, if you need extremely short styles, the mid-length inseams will be longer than typical cutoffs.

Pros & Cons
