Women's High Waisted Denim Shorts

High Waisted Denim Shorts: A Cut Above the Rest

Levi’s® women’s high-waisted shorts are made to sit at or above your natural waistline. This design cinches at the slimmest part of your waist to define your middle, balance your natural proportions and lengthen your legs.

This iconic cut of denim is neither new nor out of style. High waisted denim shorts were the fashion norm from the '30s to the '50s, then returned in major style waves from the '70s to the mid-2010s. And at the centre of every wave was Levi's® denim. That's what makes ours a cut above the rest.

Women’s High Waisted Shorts for Every Body

High waisted denim shorts come in a range of different lengths, so you can tailor your desired look.

Reach for the classic 501® Original shorts when you want that authentic cut-off feel, complete with the signature button fly. After more coverage? Mom-style and relaxed fits give you a longer line and a looser leg while the waist stays sitting high.

Whatever your pick, our women’s high waisted shorts are made from durable denim with just the right amount of structure, so they hold their shape wash after wash. From light vintage fades to deep indigo, there's a pair of high waisted jean shorts ready for every rotation.

Wear Them Your Way

The beauty of a high rise is how easily it pairs. Tuck one of our tees and tanks into the waistband paired with sneakers and a baseball cap for a simple yet stylish look.

For beach days, layer your high waisted denim shorts over swimmers and when the evening cools, add an iconic trucker from our collection of women’s jackets. A timeless denim-on-denim look, without even trying.

When the summer begins to wind down, your favourite pair translates straight back to our women's jeans. Keen to browse further? Explore the full women's shorts range.
