I have a pair of these shorts in another color so i decided to get these as well since they were on sale. I loved my original ones but for some reason these fit me so much better and more flattering.

Comfortable and flattering, these are great for running errands or hanging out in the heat or any casual gathering. Long enough to be modest without looking frumpy. These are the denim shorts I've been searching for.

I love these shorts except, I cannot wear them. I am between a 30-31 waist and unfortunately, unable to button these…. Disappointed, but maybe It’ll push me to lose weight.

Bought the same size as my 501 original shorts and these are a smaller / tighter fit. Unfortunate since this style short is cuter oversized. I bought on final sale and can’t return.

I purchased 2 pair of these in different sizes and each size had totally different levels of destruction and the color of the denim was slightly different on each pair. Also they run very true to size.
