These shirts are very cute!
Just what I was looking for in a pair of black shorts. Bought my usual size 27. Flattering and fit TTS. Recommended!

Size up
Sizing is all wrong, I’m usually a 29x32 in all Levi’s but the 29 here was too tight I think I would’ve had to size up 1 or 2 more to get it to fit me the way they usually do, I also didn’t really like that it was all buttons instead of a zipper but that’s just personal preference. They’re still super cute and I got them for a good price but still ended up returning cause they didn’t fit

Button closure, not zipper
I read the reviews so ordered my usual size, one size up, and 2 sizes up to try on My usual size is very snug, but a size up is too big I'm going to keep my usual size and hope that it'll stretch a little as I wear them in Of note, these are about 6 buttons for closure and not a zipper. Not a dealbreaker for me personally but something to note

slightly tight but sooo cute!
Im a size 29(8) in jeans and these do fit a bit tight. But I didn’t need to size up. On my second wear prior to washing them they fit a bit better. Sooo cute and perfect for that 90s shorts look.

super cute but they run small
I originally ordered these in a size 30 which is my normal size but they were tight. The 31 fits better but I still think I might want to go up another size.

Didn't think I'd love these but....
Love the fit, I had always bought this style a size smaller but gave this it one last chance and it paid off.
