zipper issue
Loved these but when I tried on in stores there’s a zipper issue- they won’t fully zip. Such a bummer because the fit is so cute

ugh
These shorts are more flared in the leg than pictured and have stiff fabric. Maybe they’d be cute on someone really thin (and I’m averaged sized) but I was super disappointed. I’ve always believed that you get what you pay for but shockingly, some of the mango shorts that are a fraction of the cost of higher end brands are working better for me this year.
