These shorts do NOT have front pockets even though the website says they do, and the fit was way different from other similar shorts I've purchased at Target. OK quality, but not for me.

I have a bigger bottom than most. I’m 5’2” 157 lbs (after having a baby 1 month ago). I ordered the size 10 and they fit well, but go waaaay up the behind. I feel like I’m basically wearing boy shorts. Also, there’s no front pockets!

Bought in red... about fell over trying them on, they were so tight!! Like others, I thought I had unexpectedly gained winter weight. Thankfully after reading reviews I now realize the sizing is way off. They've since been returned.

Cute, but frumpy after wearing

Mighty Meow - 9 days ago, Verified purchaser
I like the fit. They are short in the front, but longer in the back, which I like so your bottom isn’t hanging out. The only thing I disliked about these shorts is the material. They are 99% cotton one percent spandex. However, after just an hour of wearing them, I look frumpy due to how the fabric expands and stretches. The denim material is not sturdy - it that cheap, thin denim and looks very unflattering after you’ve actually worn the item for a little bit. Sadly, I already took the tag off, so I have to suffer a loss. I would not purchase again.

Ok I thought I was losing it. I sized up two sizes to get these to fit the way they should. I couldn’t figure out how I’d gotten so much bigger without noticing it lol. Other than the sizing being WAY off, these are very cute, comfortable and just the right length. As a mom of two toddlers who needs some support for the perma-pooch, and enough length to chase my babes at the playground and keep things PG, these check all the boxes.

The sizing is so off here it’s hilarious. The sized up and I still probably needed to go up an additional 1-2 sizes. Definitely not for anyone with hips at all! Very disappointing!

Not comfy

momma3 - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
They’re a bit too short and it feels like they’re rising up my behind. Even though they’re high waisted, they’re comfortable around the midsection though (which doesn’t usually happen for me). Love the color and heavy weight of the denim.

They’re cute shirts but the sizing is off. May need to go up a size or two from my original size I wear. They’re really tight on the crotch area

So I love the sailor jeans and when I saw the shorts I was excited. They fit me great (they are a little on the short side) but I love that they fit me in the waist. I’ve got an athletic build so shorts are hard to find for me. I haven’t worn them yet so I don’t know if they will ride up when I walk but I do know that as you wear them they will stretch a tiny bit like the jeans do. I can fit in a 6 but went with an 8. I’m 5’4 155lb and usually a size M (6/8) in bottoms

These shorts are so cute! I’m 5’4 and weigh about 132lbs with an athletic build, and the size 6 is perfect. I maybe could have squeezed into a 4 (which is my normal size), but the 6 fits perfect.

These looked really cute when I tried them on in the dressing room, but actually wearing out and about, they constantly ride up my crotch. I sized up one size and they're just not comfortable. Disappointing because the style is cute.

The most perfect polished shorts. Runs a little small, I did size up from 00 to 0. I’m only 5’2 so the length was not short on me at all. Ordering more colors now!

Bought 2 color of this jean shorts because I really like the fitting of it. It doesn’t big around the hip like most of the trendy shorts, instead giving me a old school 90’s vibes
