The list of celebrities (and fashion editors, like yours truly) who love Levi's 501 jean shorts is long: Bella Hadid, Beyoncé, Pamela Anderson, Cindy Crawford, Sydney Sweeney, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sofia Richie, to name just a few. But here's the best part: These shorts are up to 50% off during Amazon Prime Day, happening now through July 11.
Shop fast, and you can score certain washes for under $30, including a versatile light-wash pair that's sure to become your summer staple. Prefer a slightly looser silhouette, higher rise, or longer inseam? Other Levi's faves, like the 94 Baggy Shorts and 501 Mid-Thigh Cutoffs, are also on sale at equally impressive prices. Even the popular 501, Ribcage, and Wedgie jeans are discounted, in case you're in the market for pants. Oh, and Taylor Swift's Levi's shortalls? Marked down too.

Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans
As someone who owns over a dozen Levi's denim styles, I find the brand runs pretty true to size, though I sometimes size up for a slouchier fit (especially with styles made from 100% cotton). Don't be afraid to use Amazon's return policy to your advantage and order a few options in different sizes or inseam lengths to find your perfect fit. Anything that doesn't work can easily be dropped off during your next Whole Foods run.
Prime Day is longer than usual this year, but that doesn't mean you can afford to lollygag. Many Levi's deals are bound to sell out before the sale ends. Will you be among the lucky few to score the brand's celebrity-loved denim at such low prices?
