Reviews Summary
Customers say these shorts are exceptionally soft and comfortable, with many describing the fabric as "buttery soft" and lightweight. The fit is praised as flattering and true to size, though some recommend sizing down as they can run large in the waist. Many customers own multiple pairs in different colors, with several mentioning they have 4-6 pairs. The 4-inch length is appreciated for providing good coverage without being too long or short. The mid-rise waist and relaxed fit through the legs are frequently highlighted. Most reviews mention the shorts are versatile for dressing up or down and work well for various activities from errands to casual wear.

    Love the Oahu shorts!

    This is the first pair of 4" Oahu shorts I have purchased. The fit is the same as the 6" and they are very cute, although in hindsight I think I will stick to the 6" length for the future - just as a 60 year old....But they are buttery soft and super comfortable.

    Fav shorts, diff color!!!

    My fav style of shorts from Carve! Sadly the wrong size was sent so I left on my trip without them! The updated size I ordered arrived after I left on my trip so I will have them upon my return& hopefully the correct size this time!

    The size sent was a 00, I have always worn a 0.

    Oahu 4" Butter Short: Khaki - FINAL SALE

    Sizing seems off

    I was so excited to order these shorts as I have three pairs from past seasons that fit like a dream. One of the three is a Butter Short and I absolutely love the fit and soft fabric. I was so disappointed when I received this new pair. I ordered my usual size (the same size of the three pairs I own) but when I put them on, they are super tight fitting as if they are a whole size smaller. I even checked the tag to make sure that I did have the right size. I put them on for an evening to see how much they would stretch out, but the fit is nowhere near the other three. They are just not comfortable but will have to keep them since they were a final sale. Three stars for this pair (five for my old pairs!).
