Reviews Summary
Customers say these denim shorts are extremely comfortable with soft, stretchy fabric and a flattering fit. Many appreciate the versatile style and perfect length for various heights. The fabric quality receives high praise for its softness and stretch. However, sizing runs large and inconsistent - most customers recommend sizing down 1-2 sizes from normal. Several mention the waist can gap or feel loose even after sizing down. Some note the shorts stretch further with wear and may wrinkle in the wash. A few report stitching issues. Despite sizing challenges, customers find them versatile for everyday wear and often purchase multiple pairs.

    Very stretchy

    I like these because they are comfy but they are so stretchy in the waist that they hang really weird on my body. I had already worn them so couldn't return for a smaller size.

    Love the color

    I love the color and quality. I have several pairs of their shorts all the same size. My only issue is a couple of the pairs are clearly larger, not consistent in size. I normally wear a size 6, but their website guide stated I should order size 8. I’m seriously considering trying a pair in the 6 instead.

    Nice & soft shorts

    Nice shorts, length is great and fabric is soft, however based on reviews I sized up only to return for smaller size and they are still too big.

    Run BIG

    I'm 5'6", 135 lb. I typically wear a size 6/8. I don't like things to be tight so I went with the 8s. They are way too large. I think a 6 would have also been too large. Make sure to size down. They are super stretchy.
