Full details
These Levi's Ribcage Shorts in Black are designed for adult females seeking a stylish and figure-enhancing denim option. The key benefit is their ultra-high waist which elongates the legs and creates a slimming effect. A potential caveat is that 100% cotton denim may not offer as much stretch as blended fabrics. The shorts feature a classic 5-pocket design, zip and button fastening, and are crafted from durable 100% cotton.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Ribcage design?
The Ribcage design features an ultra-high waist that is specifically engineered to accentuate and slim the figure, elongating the legs for a flattering look.
Are these shorts stretchy?
These shorts are made from 100% cotton denim, which means they have minimal to no stretch. They are designed to break in and conform to your body over time.
How should I care for my 100% cotton denim shorts?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Will these shorts shrink?
Yes, 100% cotton denim can shrink slightly after the first wash. It is recommended to follow care instructions carefully and consider this when choosing your size.
What does 'unfinished hem' mean?
An unfinished hem means the edge of the shorts is left raw and is designed to fray slightly over time, creating a casual, lived-in look. This is a stylistic choice.
How do I style these black Ribcage shorts?
They are very versatile. Pair them with t-shirts and sneakers for a casual look, or dress them up with a blouse, heels, and jewelry for a more elevated style.
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
Since these shorts are 100% cotton and have minimal stretch, if you are between sizes and prefer a more comfortable fit, consider sizing up. They will mold to your body with wear.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight initially.
This is common with 100% cotton denim. Wear them for extended periods; they will naturally stretch and conform to your body shape. Avoid excessive washing initially to allow them to break in.
Unfinished hem is fraying unevenly.
This is an intentional design feature. If excessive fraying is a concern, you can carefully trim loose threads with scissors or take them to a tailor for a more permanent finish.
Color fading after washing.
Wash the shorts inside out in cold water with like colors and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can accelerate fading.
Zipper is sticking.
Ensure there are no denim threads caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth can help it slide more smoothly.
