Product Insights
Levi's A-Line Mom Shorts, part of the exclusive Twik denim collection at Simons, offer a stretch-denim A-line cut that flatters pear shapes by skimming hips and defining the waist, while a 4.5-inch inseam prevents chafing and holds its flared shape. The soft, thick stretch denim (85% cotton, 14% polyester, 1% spandex) resists bagging and needs no break-in. However, the 9.5-inch rise may sit too high for short torsos, and buyers typically recommend sizing up one waist size for a proper fit; some sized up 1-2 sizes for an oversized look. It is the only stretch denim short in Levi's current lineup.

Love these shorts, they fit at my waist & hips, which is often tricky to accomplish.

Positive review of Levi's A-Line Mom Short from dog_swap
I second these! I've had them for a fortnight, and I'm obsessed. The denim is thick enough to hold shape, but not painfully rigid. The a line is perfect for my pear shape, but I had to size up one for the waist. The mid thigh fit is perfect. And they're sooo comfortable.
