Odd Sizing

Had to go up two sizes for the to fit in the waist but then they were huge in the butt and thighs. Unfortunate because they’re so cute!

Size up!!! But super cute

I normally wear a 8/10, I ordered these in a 14 based on other reviews and I love the fit. I definitely recommend sizing up.

New Favorites

These are awesome. They remind me of the Dad Short from Abercrombie that is twice the price. Nice inseam length and the little slit still keeps them fun and interesting. I love a cut-off, but these feel much more polished. If you are a pear shaped girly, you will love these; no waist gap, lots of leg and hip room. I find them true to size in both denim washes, but the black does run a little more snug. I will probably size up for those only. Get them before they’re sold out!

Cute but tight in the waist

Really cute style but the waist is pretty high and runs tight. I wear a size 0, occasionally a 2 and the 2 was tight in the waist. Not awful, but not comfortable like denim shorts should be. The 4 would be too big in the hips and thighs. Probably a good style for a straighter figure.

Size up for these great shorts

Purchased cream! Typically wear size 2 or 4, & 4 fit my 5’5” 120# frame, but difficult to fasten. Reordered size 6, b/c I love the style of these jean shorts.

Denim shorts perfect for summer

These high rise denim shirts are perfect for the mom on the go. Wear this to the beach or to your local county fair. These denim jeans are comfortable and great quality. They have pockets and a high rise a line fit. The length is perfect as well. I usually wear a size twelve and purchased these in a size twelve and they fit great

High Rise Women’s Shorts

These are a size 2 which is my normal size however they did run a bit small in the inseam, for a high rise short. I really like the length but the inseam being too short made them sit a little too high and uncomfortable for me. I really like the slit on the side for an active lifestyle this will help to not crease when you sit.

Absolutely love these shorts!!

I ordered these shorts for myself. I am 5’7” 170lbs and my true size is 10. I sized up to a size 12 based on reviews and I’m glad I did. For some reason, these are loose everywhere but the waist. I would size up for this reason.. I kinda like the loose fit everywhere else. These shorts are soo comfortable! I also really love the length.. not too short and not too long. Love these!!

Great comfort A-line shorts

These denim shorts are very comfortable and not restrictive. I like the a-line cut through the legs as it makes it easier to move compared to some denim shorts. These shorts have a good length being they are not too short. I love the cream color on these particular ones I purchased. I purchased a size 8 and typically wear a size 6 or 8 and I think the 8 fit well. I am 5‘5“ tall with a 32 inch waist.
