My favorite shorts

9 months ago
These are my favorite shorts, but the absolutely run small. That being said I normally wear a size 30 and I sized up to a 33 inch n these. They are super comfortable, perfect length and very flattering with lots of different tops.

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.

super cute and fits well, but maybe size down

9 months ago
Wash is very pretty; a bit more true blue than in the photo (the photo appears lighter wash than in person). Flattering length and fits well throughout. Waist is a little bit looser than other washes in the same model; I have the same shorts in brown and the 26 is a bit more true to size. This pair in 26 fits comfortably loose, not so loose that I need a belt because I don't mind them slipping down just a little bit, but I suspect that they will stretch over time and would recommend to size down 1 size in this wash.

Awesome pair of shorts, great length!

11 months 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.

Perfect modest but youthful jean

11 months 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!

Nice classic jean shorts.

I like the length of these shorts and the shape, they do not flare out in an A shape like many shorts do. The waistband is comfortable. Will be wearing these for years to come.

Size Up

I'm a true 27 in jeans/shorts in all brands, but these ended up being too fitted in the thigh and didn't give me the baggy look I was going for. Exchanged for a 28 and they are perfect!
