90s mom jeans
2 months ago
if you are looking for 90's mom jeans, these are perfect fit, length and color. I liked that they did not stretch, and the band did not fold over while wearing them. My only issue were that I did not like the buttons and preferred a regular zipper.

Good basic casual shorts
4 months ago
Denim is a bit thin, feels like cheap, the color is great. Looks pretty casual. Wanted this color to be more thick like lighter colors.

Could be more curvy friendly
9 months ago
The fit was okay. My hips and legs are MUCH larger than my waist, and I feel like these shorts didn’t fully capture my curves ratio because of it. However, they are high quality and very cute!!

Fällt kleiner an tailie, aber sehr schöner schnitt
a year ago
Leider konnte ich die Shorts nicht behalten, da sie zu eng war, um sie zuzuknöpfen. Das Material ist butterweich. Ich bin kein Fan von der Fly mit Knöpfen - dauert einfach zu lange zum An- und Ausziehen.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Stoere short!
a year ago
Stoere short, die niet alleen mooi staat, maar ook lekker zit. De maat vind ik een beetje lastig: ik draag maat 40, 31 valt beetje ruim, 30 beetje strak.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not the right fit for me
29 days ago
These shorts are well made and the lightweight denim is comfortable. Specially for warm weather. Unfortunately, I didn't like the way they fit on me. The style just wasn't flattering for my body shape. They might work great for someone else, but they weren't the right fit for me.
