Great cutoffs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super confy and the length is perfect. They don't stretch out too much with wear.

Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, I will be returning, but I do love the wash of these shorts. I just think if they had a curvy option, it would be a little more flattering on my body type.
