90s Shorts

The '90s lived in Polaroids and disposable camera shots, and if you looked closely, there was a good chance you'd spot a pair of denim 90s shorts in frame. Fast forward to a world of smartphones and digital cameras, and not much has changed: denim shorts are still turning up in the picture.

Truth is, denim shorts never went anywhere. Like your favourite sitcom classic, the 90s fashion era is on a re-run. The Levi's® collection of 90s shorts brings back high-waisted, straight-leg and baggy styles that defined a generation, cut from the same rigid and stonewash denim that only gets better with age.

Built on the Original 501®

Our 501® '90s Shorts are cut with that original raw-hem, high-rise attitude, the same fit your favourite decade icons lived in. Choose a lighter vintage wash for that lived-in, sun-bleached feel, or go deeper indigo for something closer to the original 501® blue. Either way, you're wearing a fit that's stayed true to its roots since day one.

How to Style 90s Shorts

Style shifted hard in the '90s, ditching '80s excess for two definitive lanes: grunge-inspired distressing and sleek, pared-back minimalism. For those who lean grunge, style the Super Baggy Jorts with a graphic tee and chunky sneakers. Add a flannel around the waist and top it off with a bucket hat for the full look. For a classic 90s style, go double denim with a denim jacket layered over a baby tee paired with Denim Shorts, a Levi's® signature. For the minimalist route, dress up a pair of 90s shorts with a tank, a button-down shirt tied at the waist and sneakers.
