No stretch
These jeans shorts are cute!! The ripped holes were in the right spots;) I bought two pair of these shorts while on sale and they are worth every penny! I originally bought a 27 and a 28. Ultimately went with the 28 because there is absolutely NO STRETCH. ( One pair were a tad big but after I washed them they shrank a bit ) Just like any 501 Levis I'm sure they'll stretch over time. For Reference I'm 5'2 135lbs *Usually a 27 in Non- stretch Levi's *26 in other jeans *2 In American Eagle jeans (with stretch)

Too much exposure!
The denim shorts I just received are unwearable. One of the ripped holes is way too close to the crotch and reveals my underwear. These shorts are way too risqué. Sad to say that I won’t even get one use out of them. Complete waste of money.

Very cute shorts but
These shorts are very flattering for the most part and are quite comfy… I don’t get any riding up or wedgies like so many other shorts. The issues is that in the back they have a lot of extra fabric that hit right above the bum… it’s hard to explain. I have a bigger butt compared to my waist so I think that’s the issue. Also because the rips are barely hanging on I am slightly scared to wear them as much as I’d like because I’m afraid they’ll tear off completely.

REALLY wanted to love them BUT
REALLY wanted to love them BUT the distressing near the crotch area leaves the bikini line (& almost a bit too much) completely exposed & after ONE wear, said distressing made this unwearable (if I’m trying to be modest.) I bought these in my true size & one size larger and it happened to both. The distressing truly is a work of art, but unrealistic to wear :(

Strange fit and rips
Not flattering and the rips are weirdly placed - not cute, just awkward.

Rips in the front show the crotch of my underwear. Returned.
