I can understand why these shorts are getting mixed reviews. I am typically a size 18/20, and in rigid denim, I will usually size up to a 22 because I like the extra room. However, luckily I bought both 22 and 24 sizes because the reviews seems so mixed in how many sizes you should size up. So, I will say definitely size up from your normal size. The 22s fit ok, they were a little tight in the waist and I feel like when I sit down it gave me major wedgie. But, the 24s were perfect! They sit just right on my waist and I have room to sit down and eat, and the thighs are looser but I like that because I have thick thighs. So, depending on the fit you like, if you want a more fitted fit, I would just size up 1 size, but if you like your shorts to be more breathable with a little room, then size up 2 sizes. The shorts themselves look pretty much like they do on the website and I really love the wash and the rise as well. Personally, I love these!

I haven’t had a pair of denim shorts in almost 4 years. I bought these with low expectations as a result of feeling like I would never find shorts for my body. I have an hourglass shape with wide hips, bigger thighs, and a smaller waist. These shorts are snug in my waist and stomach but leave plenty of room for my thighs. I think they are a great length- not too short but also not so long that they feel baggy. Highly recommend!

I am usually a size 14-16 but I had to order a 18 in these shorts. But other than that they are perfect. As a girl with wider hips and a small waist these fit like a glove. The legs are great too as they aren’t tight so they don’t roll up and they are super flattering. Will definitely be ordering the blue pair too.
