Fits perfectly!
These are so cute!!! The gray color looks amazing in person and the size pulls everything in where it is supposed to and also is cute and form fitting. I love these shorts.

Hmm
Normally I love city chic. But these shorts ran small. I ordered a 20 and I’m usually an 18. I usually get high waisted denim to avoid the waist gap and I still had that with these. Also, I purchased these in blue and received them in am acid wash black. Definitely not what I ordered. Denim seemed like a nice quality though
