Fit varies by style
I own a ton of Levi's shorts, and I find that this particular pair is a more snug fit than other styles. My boyfriend bought me the "Athens" style in size 27, which fit perfectly. I picked up another pair and the 27 was so snug around my hips, I had to return. I find the styles can fit a little differently.

Size up if you’re curvey
These shorts are very cute and seem to be good quality but if you have any curves definitely size up. I ordered my normal size in all other aritzia pants and they are easily three sizes too small. I would measure and size up accordingly.

Perfect summer denim
Fits is perfection if you aren’t looking for a skin tight fit- little lose in the waist which is great to save some room for food. Distressed just the right amount.

Great shorts!
These shorts fit true to size. They aren't too tight and they're not too short. They look great with a cropped top or a bodysuit. The rise is right up to my bellybutton. I usually wear a tie 24 in Levi's and Levi's shorts. I bought my usual size and they're great.
