Sizing is wild

The fabric is good quality and has a bit of a stretch. But the sizing is frustrating. My waist measures 26.5 inches so I bought size 26. Way too big. So I bought size 25. Fit exactly the same - slid way down to my hips. I gave up.

Wonderful shorts.

I love these shorts and look forward to wearing them this summer. I normally wear a 26, and that would have been a perfect fit, but I like them loose. At my age I don’t think I could dress them up, but they’re great for errands instead of gym clothes. I’d buy them in other colors if available. I’m 71 and don’t want to show much leg but it’s hot where I live. You can see from the photo how loose they are on me, but I love them.
