Reviews Summary
Customers say these high-rise shorts are comfortable and flattering with soft corduroy fabric that has slight stretch. Many reviews mention significant sizing inconsistencies, with these running smaller than regular-rise versions and varying between colors. Common feedback includes needing to size up from normal measurements. Customers frequently note the high-rise waist provides better coverage and eliminates back gapping. While many praise the vibrant colors and 4-inch length, some find the fit too tight in thighs or report quality control issues with identical sizes fitting differently across orders.

    Love these shorts wearing them all the time.

    The Oahu Hi Rise 4" short in a dreamy light lilac fit perfect, comfortable and perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall - wear with a tank top, t-shirt or blouse in warmer weather and for cooler weather light sweater and you are good to go as well as being stylish. Love them!

    Great shorts!

    I agree with others that these Hi Rise shorts are a tad tighter in the hips and waist area than the regular ones, but I like how they fit. Plus, I have a pair of the regular Oahu shorts and they've stretched out. I'm 5'8" 145# and I got my normal size 6.
