Weird fit

3 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
kdenny7 - 1 day ago, Verified purchaser
Love how they look but the fit is off- even when sizing down. They are great and definitely oversized, except in the crotch? Incredibly uncomfortable to sit down in. It’s so strange. I’m 5’4’’ 115lbs and ordered extra small and they fit well everywhere except when sitting down. Unfortunate because I do love the look!

Love love love these. Great fit, great style and super comfortable. I’m a solid side small so I originally purchased these and the white ones in a small. They were definitely a little too big and kind of bulged out at the hips causing me to look a little wider than I would have liked. Wound up returning for the XS and they are going to be my most worn shorts of the summer. I am 5 feet tall and they are the perfect length

Weren’t very flattering in an XL. I’m 5’4” and they were too long for my liking. They were true to size in the waist but kind of baggy and boxy fitting through the legs.

I do agree that you need to size down, but these are a perfect fit especially for my curvy figure. I went on a hunt to find these as they became very popular, and I can see why. They are comfortable, flattering, and fit perfectly. I was lucky enough to find two pairs so I can have them for the summer. They do shrink a smidge in the dryer but doesn't effect the fit. (I cold wash and dry low) If you can grab yourself a pair, I highly recommend it! Even not on sale, I feel these are a great price!

Kfay - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
Wanted to love these as they are very comfy with the elastic and draw string waist. They are soft as well. I ordered an XS as they do run big. They were still baggy and loose on me and felt like they gave me no shape whatsoever. I’m 5’4 and 118 lbs for reference.

I love the high waisted design & comfort of these shorts but the leg openings flared out a bit much for my preferred style. Felt more like a skirt than shorts.

Only giving this four stars because it is not true to size. It is very oversized in the legs, however the quality and length is amazing. You also can’t beat the price!

Super cute. I don’t personally think they run big. XS shorts from here are usually big on me and these are pretty true to size in the waste. The legs run a bit wide but that’s all.

These are so comfortable? And have room in the thigh, versus being form fitting like most jean shorts. I’m typically a size 14-16 in jeans and quite curvy, and the XL is perfect!

As other reviews say, I agree that they run large, so I sized down. I’m normally a Large or 10/12 in bottoms and got a medium and they fit perfectly. Great quality, very well made. Can’t beat that price either! Comfortable, cute, flattering.

Pear shaped girlies PSA

4 out of 5 stars
Hgwilliamson - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
I saw the reviews said to size down, so I opted to do my normal size (XL size 16, carry weight in hips and butt) for a looser fit. They fit perfect. But I may return and size up so I can have the really loose fit I wanted. So I’m saying these are TTS if you’re a pear shape!

These are cute shorts but not the most flattering on. Also run big so size down a full size. Good coverage
