    Inconsistent fit

    I love the Maui shorts 4” in the blue tide jean material, so I ordered them in white in the same size. They are a slightly looser fit in the white than the blue tide, so they get baggy by later in the day. I wish the sizing were more consistent, especially for the price! I appreciate the regular waist fit and length and overall they are beautiful shorts, just don’t fit me the same as the size 4 in the blue tide.

    Cute fit but gigantic

    These COULD be perfect jean shorts. Great color (faded fade), quality, stretchy comfy. But they are enormous! I ordered an 8. Then I ordered a 6. Still ginormous. Wore them around the house and if I put my phone in a pocket they started to slide off my body. Would a 4 work? Not sure, but that seems a silly-small size for this 145lb, 5’6” girl who carries weight in my waist more than anywhere else.
