True to size
These run true to size! They're a little loose around the waist but fit well around the hips. The waist isn't so loose that I need to return. It's just a relaxed and comfortable fit. I like the length. I'm 5'7 and 125 lbs and got a size 26. I recommend them.

Pass if you've got a butt
It fits very odd. I can see why some reviews mentioned that it is small. I bought both my regular size and went up one size - I've got a smaller waist and a got some butt. It gapes at the waist, not very unexpected, but it also hugs the hips so tightly that it feels small. Going up two sizes is not an option because the waist is going to get bigger.

Runs Small!
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.

Perfect length
I don’t have the confidence to wear short shorts at my age so these were a great find. I am 5’8 and they hit mid-thigh. The size is true - I purchased a 29 and I am 141#. They may stretch a bit and the fit should still be fine.

cute!
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.

Good for small waist and thick thighs
I have been searing for shorts for a long time and these fit the bill. The ripped edge is a bit wild, so I trimmed it up. I like squeezing into this rigid Jean, the profile is flattering and they don’t ride up on me. I have a long torso, muscular legs and butt, and small waist.

Cute booty and length
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.
