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.

    The color!

    These are a beautiful, bright blue. Reminds me of the Gulf Coast where I definitely plan to wear them. I usually don’t go for bright colored shorts but the color really drew me in on these and I was not disappointed when I opened them.

    Love these!

    These are great fitting comfortable shorts. I did size up due to other reviews comparing these and the regular Oahu shorts. I particularly like that the back pockets on the high rise version are closer together so it doesn’t give as much impression of a wider seat than the regular Oahu shorts. Who wants to look like they have a bigger behind? If you like high rise, I’d highly recommended these!

    Love these

    Really like the higher waisted shorts. They run smaller than the lower waisted style.
