I'm a 6/8 s/m with an athletic build, and I went with a small vice the medium, and the shorts (both colors) fit well. I do wish the inseam was a little longer, but good for wearing around the house or at the beach.

I got the xs and I look like I’m swimming in them. I look absolutely ridiculous. I do t know why they made these to run so big but they look absolutely hideous.

I’m between sizes and sizes down. Love the length and the drawstring waist and the wide leg openings. These are so cute I bought both the blue and the white!

They do run a little loose, but sticking to my true size worked perfect. That’s the style of them.. I guess it depends how you want them to fit. I’m a size 6/8 and purchased a medium. I’m anticipating on a little shrinkage as well.

These are so cute! I think they're true to size. I'm a pretty solid size 8 / 30" these days, and the medium fit great.

Anonymous - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
Very cute, but they run really big. I am 5’9”, 145 lbs and the medium fit way too baggy when that would be my normal size. They unfortunately are sold out of size small so I will be returning the mediums. At least I will get my $20 back because I ordered them the day before they went 40% off!

Love these shorts! But I wish I hadn’t followed the reviews and just got my regular size. Sizing down one did not work for me. These fit TTS for me.

Absolutely love these! I’m a size 12 typically and a large fit perfectly, have some extra room but can make them as snug as I want with the drawstring. These are a summer must have and sooo flattering especially for postpartum.

Love these, but SIZE DOWN! I’m typically a small and took a chance on XS after reading the reviews and so glad I did! Great length, comfortable, and love the high waist.

Super comfy and not super structured like a Jean short. Relaxed fit in the leg and a good length. I don’t agree with the other reviews about it running large- I think they fit true to size.

JDuffy - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
I really wanted to love these, but the sizing is just awful. I am a true medium and the waist was fine, but the width of the shorts themselves were SO wide. Unfortunately, I don’t think sizing down would fix the issue either. It’s a pass for me.

HometownMomma - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
These shorts are really well made and cute. However, I’m a size 10/12 and neither the medium nor the large fit. The large was huge, like balloon shorts, and the mediums were really tight. I carry my weight in my hips and thighs and these didn’t work for me.
