Q: Do these run true to size

submitted by Klw - 27 days ago
  • A: Hi Klw - Thank you for the inquiry. These shorts have a regular fit, so they should run true to size. We would request you to have a look through size chart provided on the product description page on target.com to have a better understanding. Hope this helps! - Kris

Momof3 - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
I sized down to an XS since my normal size S was not in stock, which often works. Not a good idea with these shorts. Waist band was pretty snug. The material is quite thick and there is no stretch. Like the style but returned and will not be purchasing a larger size.

Perfect comfy and cute high-waisted shorts

AL - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
I like these so much after getting the light wash denim I also got the off-white. I sized up to accommodate my wide hips and bigger butt however I don't think you really need to do that unless you're really carrying a wagon and that's common for you because these aren't made to be skin tight and definitely run a little big. In fact I would suggest sizing down especially if you're petite or particularly slender. That said these are really flattering for me and I think we'll be for a lot of body types. Nice material that's neither flimsy nor too heavy and they don't look or feel as inexpensive as they are. I'm not really a casual dresser and I got these for a beach trip but I immediately started wearing them instead of saving them for the trip because of how much I like them and how cute they are.

These were cute shorts and nice material. However, the legs were so wide that they made the fit wrong, so I am returning.

Target Fan - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
Not gonna lie - I ordered these after reading the rave reviews. I thought they were ok shorts, but not super great. Sized down one size. I find the waist band to be a bit uncomfortable but the body of the shorts fit well. I was expecting soft, thin material but they are made of typical thick denim.

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.

Stretch out

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.

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.
