501^® Mid Thigh Denim Shorts

I'm usually around a size 8, sometimes a 10, depending on the brand. I got these in a size 30 and couldn't come close to buttoning them. I reordered in a 32 to see if they fit (and hopefully won't be too big, as the 31s weren't in stock when I ordered). I also didn't know that these have a button closure, rather than a zipper, which I generally don't love. It's hard to find distressed shorts like these that aren't way too short, though, so I'm giving these a try.

These are cute and I’m so happy to graduate to Jean shorts that won’t ride up / make my legs rub together. I’d say these are true to size but I’d size up if you have super muscular legs or a big butt. I got size 28 and I’m 5’7 145 pounds. I don’t carry a lot of weight in my butt or legs so these fit me well.

I love that these shorts are slightly longer than the average offering for women. I’m in my mid-thirties and don’t want my butt cheeks hanging out, but I’m not ready for full frump. They also have nice, wider leg holes that don’t squeeze my thighs. Con: they absolutely give me camel toe. I’m just embracing it because they also give me a wedgy in the back that makes my booty look cute and bigger.
