perfect shorts!

I have so many free people shorts! They are the BEST in my opinion and these are no different. The color is absolutely gorgeous. Paired with a white top, these shorts are perfect.

So cute but runs small

Size up, y’all! These are so stinking cute and well made. I just wish I had sized up one. Unfortunately, they’re a little too tight so I can’t comfortably wear them. I can manage to squeeze into them, but there are only buttons, no zipper, so it kinda poofs out a bit. Structure-wise, these are fantastic.

tried on at store did not buy

Yeah so, no stretch at all. Normally a 28/29 and needed a 31 to get them up. Very tight and short and button fly- no zipper. Color army green not perfect… too muted or something- looked ugly

Not White

These had a cute fit, but the “bright white” color is actually a yellow-y off white. Not a fan for my skin tone. I also had to go up one size from the regular denim color Makai shorts, but I feel the denim color runs a bit large. So I’d say these white ones are true to size.

I sized up

I don’t particularly care for FP denim, there’s never any give or any stretch. So I knew that going in… And I sized up. Worked out for me! Shorts fit great and I love the length.

Incorrect description

I returned my shorts too. The description said that they are a zipper fly and the pair that I received was a button fly which I do not have time for. I know that sounds super dramatic, but I am not a fan of the button fly. Covid weight has me ordering a larger size but I found it true to size regardless. Had the fly been zipper probably I would’ve kept them.

cute but no give

I love the color & style of these shorts. I am a size 10 with hips. They shorts have no give so couldn’t get them past my hips, so back they went.
