Q: Do these run true to size

submitted by Klw - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi Klw - Thank you for the inquiry. These shorts have a regular fit, so they should run true to size. We would request you to have a look through size chart provided on the product description page on target.com to have a better understanding. Hope this helps! - Kris

These are the most comfortable and cute shorts for summer!!! I got them in both colors and they are a great length and material. The white isn’t see thru and I get compliments where ever I wear them. I am 5’3” and about 160lbs (6 weeks post partum) and these fit amazing. I wish there were more colors!

Ruthallyn - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
LOVE THESE! I think these are the perfect mom short for summer, not too long, but also not booty shorts. The material isn’t stretchy denim (which makes me think they’ll last years) but the fit is loose enough that on a miserably hot day it won’t feel constricting! They’re loose without being unflattering though! I got the white and I’m hoping the denim comes back in stock because I’ll snatch those up in a heartbeat!

Super cute and comfy, but definitely thick and bulky. I don’t mind, but something to consider. I am 5’7, 140lbs, long torso and the small fit perfectly. They seem to run a bit big.

Poor Fit

Shirley - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
I’m 5’2”, 115 lbs, 28” waist, 35” hips. I ordered size XS, which fits tight at my waist and very loose in the butt and thigh area. I love the soft denim and tie-waist which add a casual summery touch, but the fit is not great for my body type. If I ordered a size up then the leg holes would be even more roomy, and the overall fit would be less flattering. Try these on in store if you’re able to.

Mbdesignchick - 16 days ago
I am obsessed with these shorts. I wish I had known about them two months ago. I bought them in white and I would have bought the denim version as well but they are all sold out. I would say they fit a little snug in the waist in my normal size small but there were no mediums in the store. I would say to size up for a more casual look. I will stick with the small because it makes my waist look snatched!

I sized down to an XS since my normal size S was not in stock, which often works. Not a good idea with these shorts. Waist band was pretty snug. The material is quite thick and there is no stretch. Like the style but returned and will not be purchasing a larger size.

AL - 25 days ago, Verified purchaser
I like these so much after getting the light wash denim I also got the off-white. I sized up to accommodate my wide hips and bigger butt however I don't think you really need to do that unless you're really carrying a wagon and that's common for you because these aren't made to be skin tight and definitely run a little big. In fact I would suggest sizing down especially if you're petite or particularly slender. That said these are really flattering for me and I think we'll be for a lot of body types. Nice material that's neither flimsy nor too heavy and they don't look or feel as inexpensive as they are. I'm not really a casual dresser and I got these for a beach trip but I immediately started wearing them instead of saving them for the trip because of how much I like them and how cute they are.
