Q: Do these run true to size

submitted by Klw - 11 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

Great Value - 1 day ago, Verified purchaser
The sizing is not accurate. I normally wear a medium/large and these are about 3 sizes too big. Very slouchy and unattractive. Too much material.

Sara - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
These shorts look so comfy and I'm sure they are if you can find the right fit, but I was unable to do so. I ordered my usual size and they were huge! Went down a size and still didn't fit me like I would have liked. I really think some shorts are cut for certain body types and unfortunately these didn't work for me. :(

Huge

c6768 - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
Really wanted to love these, especially for the price, but they are huge! I am typically a size 4/27 and purchased the small. The waist fit well but the fabric on the legs stuck out really far. The material itself is soft and comfortable though.

I love these shorts! They are a great length for chasing around young kiddos and bending over! Not to much skin showing but not to long like Bermuda shorts! I love the waist, perfect for moms that are conscious about their tummies!

Hmom - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
These shorts are cute but they are huge. I am a solid 8/10 and heavier on the bottom. The legs are VERY wide. I could easily wear a small in these. I thought the wider legs would be more comfortable for a pear shaped person but they were not flattering at all for me. I bought in both colors but unfortunately will be returning.

Great length, Jean-like material. Definitely runs big. I’m usually a large, bought a medium and returned it for a small. The leg openings are a little big too. I’m 5’8”, 161 lbs.

These shorts fit very odd. They are too big in the legs but tighter around the waist even with little give. Very unflattering from behind too. Just overall disappointed in the way these fit.

Sooo comfortable and fit great. The tie is amazing and prevents gapping that I usually get from target jeans and shorts. True to size, I got a XL but could’ve ordered my normal L size.

These are so comfortable! The legs are wider but it doesn’t bother me. They are soft and the stretchy waist band is amazing! I’m a size 14 and bought the large- the medium probably would have fit too but been tighter and I wanted these comfy! I bought both colors <3

They fit nicely. I like the fact that they are white and no undies show through. They feel comfortable.

These shorts are so comfortable and flattering! Not too bulky and the cut lies nicely. I’m 5’5” 140 lbs and I can wear a small or medium depending on the look I want.

Cute but fit was off

Anonymous - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
Seems like good quality but the fit was a tad off for me. A little snug in the waist but big in the hip area. Might work for someone who is more curvy.

Soft, cute, comfy. I am usually a small, and the x-small fits well. I suggest sizing down.

MrsT - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased the light denim color shorts. They do fit true to size, however the leg circumference is huge. For reference I'm 5'2 130 pounds and my thighs are medium thickness.

Weird fit

kdenny7 - 6 days 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

Loved the feel of these shorts… perfect length and great washed color…. But read the reviews!!! Big doesn’t begin to describe the fit- I returned mine and would have needed 2 sizes down as a plus size but they are out of stock! If the fit had been correct, I would have given them 5 stars!

Rachel C - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.
