These are my absolute favorite, most flattering shorts, and I have way too many shorts. I’m 5’5.5 and 120. I got a size 2, and they do stretch out a bit but they are still so perfect. Flattering in every way.

These shorts are adorable! I’m normally a size 8 but went with a 10 after trying both on they definitely run small! My only issue is there is NO POCKETS! If they had pockets I’d by them in every color and they would be my new go to jean shorts! I’m 5’5 140 white a shorter waist.

No pockets, but I think it makes for a great look and a smooth fit! Usually between a size 10 or 12 in shorts, purchase these in a 12 and they fit excellent! Probably could’ve gone with the 10, but the 12 is more comfortable! 5’8”-165lbs

KayThinks3 - 8 days ago
The style is adorable. Tried on the white pair w stripes. Unfortunately the sailor cut is unforgiving or not meant for anyone with hips/bum and runs at least two sizes too small. I went with the size chart and still could have used two size up. Unfortunately returning.

They fit true to size around the waist but run incredibly short. So short that I wouldn't be comfortable wearing them in public.

Like the sailor jeans these shorts run SMALL. If you have wider hips and thighs I would recommend sizing up 2 from your regular size shorts and one size up for the jeans. I tried on a size 6 and I normally wear a 4 and they were squeezing my thighs very tight. There is no stretch in these shorts. I am 5’5 and normally wear a women’s 4 for reference.

Emdunn - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
Definitely run small, but I like the relaxed fit and the shape of the legs how it kind of flares out. As someone with bigger hips and thighs I find it slims me if the leg holes aren’t super tight. I bought three pairs postpartum and am coming back to buy two more in a size down so I can still wear them! They’re definitely the standard traditional jeans material, not spandex, so there is no stretch.

So - 21 days ago, Verified purchaser
I am 5’7 and 150 lbs. The reviews about bad fit are TRUE. I’m usually a 4-6 in size. The size 4 AND 6 were SO SMALL. Struggle to get them past my hips. ( these shorts are def not it for my body type : athletic and curvy). They are SO short. Super uncomfortable to sit if you don’t have a thigh gap. SIDE NOTE: I got the same shorts in the WHITE color and THEY DIDN’T FIT!!! TOO SMALL Something is definitely off with the manufacturing of these shorts.

So glad I followed the reviews and got a size up. I’m a true 4 and got a size 6 and they fit perfectly. A 4 would have been to short and tight. But I absolutely LOVE and plan on getting them in every color!
