Awesome pair of shorts, great length!

a year ago
It's a terrific pair of shorts! I love the color, but be cautious because the brown dye can transfer onto lighter clothing. I figure it won't be a problem after a few washings. I was concerned about the sizing after reading a few reviews, but the size was spot-on for me.

Love these shorts

These are my new favorite denim shorts. I ordered 2 different sizes because of the reviews. I ordered one size up and the other 2 sizes up from my actual size with the intention of returning the one that didn’t fit. They both fit, so I’m keeping them!!

Perfect modest but youthful jean

a year ago
I am 5'5" and 120 lbs and I ordered my normal size 25 and it fits great. I got the no stretch blue beauty and the no damage white -- both are beautiful. The denim color are a bit thicker and the white feel a little more stretchy, but not too much. I am 37 and love these for my lifestyle as a mom of 2 who likes to feel modest but youthful. I am also sporting short 501 cut offs still so this feels like a good balance to have in my closet. PS. my butt looks great in them!

Gorgeous cut and embroidery

a year ago
Fab fit, true to size. I have Levis 26 to 30 depending on model. I chose Utopia jean in 30 to wear on hips, got 29 in shorts to not wear so loose. Actually fit better than the jean version - button fly sits more flush on the short. Waistband great fit and embroidery is so fun. Very flattering length. Can be rolled up also if wanted.
