I love these. They’re definitely my new fav pair of shorts. A great length- not too long or short, falls about mid thigh. The clasps are super helpful as well depending on whether I’m wanting a bit of a looser fit or not. Fits true to size. I wish they had more colors of these !

Loveeee these shorts. Good length, the cinch is just great and i'm not sure why all pants dont have this. They are a little stiffer than I wouldve liked - i got the same size of cinch full length baggy jeans and those are way softer, but overall great.

These shorts are sooo GOOD!!! About time I found a pair of shorts that hug the booty just right, aren’t restricting and tight on the thighs, AND fit the waist perfect. I am around 5’11, 177 lbs, and I got the size 31 which fit GREAT with the waist cinched. Obsessed!

Arrived stained

AD - 26 days ago, Verified purchaser
These arrived with a big pink stain. Unfortunately, I didn't notice at first as my room was dark so I took the tags off to try them on. I doubt I'd get a refund if returned (Target doesn't let you report a product issue without initiating a return, and you have to return before they decide whether you get a refund or not) so I hope I'm able to get the stain out. Beware what clothes you order from Target online- they obviously don't pay much attention to what goes out. As for the fit of the shorts... They're tight compared to the Levi's high rise mom shorts. I ordered those in a 32 & they were big in the waist, so I got these in a 31 but I can't even do the smaller snap. They're already tight! Maybe once they wear in... Otherwise, they're great. I'm 5'4 and they hit above my belly button which is comfiest & suits my body shape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I AM SO PLEASED! I went to the mall with one goal in mind - find new denim shorts. I’m a bit curvy, so you know finding true denim with no stretch can be tough. My go-to pair has been a pair of Men’s vintage Rider jeans I had cut into shorts. They’re so comfortable, but definitely not *the look* I’m always going for. A few years ago I had purchased Levi’s high and loose shorts (size 28) and they’re still great but a teeny bit too short for everyday! My goal was to find something with a finished hem, a little extra length, and something that WON’T cut into my thighs when I sit down. For reference; I’m 5’5, ~145lbs, long torso/shorter legs, thicker thighs, tipping into my 40s. I buy pants between a 6-8, or 28-29 depending on the style and material. THESE SHORTS TICKED EVERY BOX! I bought a 29 in black and a 30 in medium wash (yes! They were out of 29 in medium so I tried on the 30s) BOTH FIT PERFECTLY! On the 30s I was able to snap back the waist a notch for a cool fitted but still loose look. Even on the 29s, I snapped one side for a more snug waist (but still comfortable! I can still sit easily!). Both look so cute worn long and (!) still great with a cuff thrown in the hemline for something a little shorter. It’s rigid denim but leaves space for our bellies and organs to breathe. The thigh cut and ride up is minimal (on me) when sitting. I think if you have slender legs and hips, you might feel like these have a triangle or bell shape. But if you have some curves, carry strength and weight on your lower half, TRY THESE. The waist measurement on the two sizes is not all that different (half an inch?) laid flat when the 30s are snapped. I’m thrilled to have two pairs of shorts that I can adjust depending on my ever-in-flux body. Get them on sale and keep them as long as you can! It’s a classic look, always in style. If you’re in flux, try two sizes! Cheers to summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a win for a curvier girl like myself. Loose enough to fit comfortable around the thighs and the adjustment on the belt line helps.

PERFECT Mom Short!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts checked every box I’ve spent all summer looking for! I wanted a longer hem for chasing toddlers but still flattering. I have a bigger hip to waist ratio and am always having to buy shorts sized up to accommodate and then living with the waist gap. These fit like a dream!! Perfect size, no gap, perfect length! I want them in every color and please keep them in the line so I can buy more sizes since I’m currently losing postpartum weight! My new holy grail item!

They run small, tight from waist. Usually a 26 or 27 but 28 in these but not the look inwas going for or liked. They seem baggy just wide looking on me and no stretch like all levis but just didn't sit on me well at all had to return

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a woman, that has a narrow waist and larger hips and thighs and is 5’8, these are the perfect short. They don’t cling to the thigh, they aren’t too short, and they skim over the body and hold their shape. I have them in black and need the mid blue color!

These shorts are kind of stiff, but I wanted a pair of casual shorts that weren’t too short so these worked for me. I do feel like they were a bit pricey. I bought a size 33 and they fit comfortably, not too tight, not too loose. For reference I’m 52 years old & my measurements are: Bust 38, Waist 32, Hips 43. Weight 162 pounds (curvy/pear shaped), Height 5’4, Bra size 36D.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So cute! They fit true to size and are really good quality. Based off the picture I was worried they would be too light for what I was wanting, but they're the perfect light wash blue jean short! After I got them and tried them on, I immediately told my sister to get some and went and bought another pair in a different color lol. Truly so cute and the perfect length if you're wanting a little bit of a longer short without being too long. I'm 135lb, 5'7", and my waist is a 28" and the size 27 fit perfectly!
