High rise pleated jean shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pair of shorts is actually quite comfy! They fit me true to size and there is a nice drape to it. The material is actually quite soft and the zipper went up and down smoothly. Also, the pockets are a decent size - not the micro pockets some shorts have. They are a decent length on me (I’m only 4’11’) and I don’t feel like they’re super short. These would be perfect for running errands or just for wearing out and about.

Fabulous Denim Shorts Size 8

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a lovely pair of pleated mid to dark blue denim shorts. The cut is super and very flattering. Very easy to team up with T-Shirts and tank or crop tops. Perfect for casual wear and for dressing up on warmer days. These are quality made and look expensive. I am wearing a size 8 which is the size I normally wear and the fit is excellent in the waist and hip. I am 5ft 6 tall.

Cute pleated denim shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shirts are so cute and stylish. The pleading on the front is subtle, but gives it that extra pop of cuteness. The length is great not too short and not too long. The leg opening is a little bit wider than I am used to, but I think that is just the style of the shorts. The pockets in the back are pretty big, but I still like them. These shorts can be dressed up or down. I ordered my normal size 10 and the fit is true to size.

Comfy and casual denim shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these shorts in a size 12. The fit on them is great. They have the typical standard button and zipper closure. They sit high waisted and they are comfortable on the waist. The length of them is perfect and comes just below fingertip length and provides full coverage. They’ve got plenty of pockets. They pair nicely with any kind of top. I really like them. I received an incentive to write this review.
