Not a fan. I don’t think these work well for someone with some curves and hips. They are baggy and puffy. I’m normally a size s, m in tops and m in bottoms.

These shorts are cute and soft, but they stretched out badly after only an hour of wear. Sizing down might help? But they aren't really wearable all sagged out.

Love the length but I don’t understand where other reviews say these run big? I ordered down a size and I should have just stayed with my normal size. Too tight in the waist like most Target jeans. Otherwise, length is nice and color is perfect for summer.

Love these shorts!! True to size. They came with a stain already which was frustrating for paying full price, which is why I am rating a 4.

Size down

These can be cute with the right top but I ended up returning the light blue and keeping the white. Definitely size down or go with the smaller size if between sizes.

hglaze - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
Are these the most flattering shorts? No. Makes my backside look flatter than the midwest. But they're thicker than I expected (no wrinkles like chambray - hooray!) and they look nicer than my go-to gym shorts. They may run slightly big, but not enough to size down if you are shaped like an erlenmeyer flask (like I am)

These are too big. I ordered an M and a S, the M was too baggy it was not flattering and the S was too tight. I was very disappointed

The weirdest fit

4 out of 5 stars
Summer - 8 days ago
Honestly, the weirdest fit. The waist fits like it’s one size and the legs are another. I purchased a M and the legs are too wide and long, but the waist fits well. Sized down to a small, and the legs fit perfectly, but the waist was too tight. Will probably keep the M in hopes that it’ll shrink a little.

I ordered the light blue but received the white. I tried to see if they would work and I could just keep them but they are completely see through and now the light blue are sold out. Disappointing! :(

Lamdellehc - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
The material and comfort level is there, but just like the material of the drawstring jeans by the same brand, we’ve got JNCO shorts now I guess. The waist seems to fit pretty true, because the next size down was too tight to feel comfortable to me, but the leg width is so wide it’s unflattering. Unfortunately returning.
