The original Oahu shorts (lower rise) don't fit me around the waist, they gape in the back, and then I have to pull them down lower so they don't (not their fault : ). These hi rise shorts fit me perfect! I can move without having to adjust the fit all the time. I like that they're snug-ish around the belly/waist but a bit looser in the legs. I haven't worn them all day yet so not sure about riding up - however I think it will be fine as I lived through the 90's with every blessed pair of pants and shorts riding up. For reference I'm 5'4", 112 lbs and the size 2 fit great. Thanks for making these!!

I ordered both Saddle (brown) and Delta (blue). I read to size up, and so purchased 12 and 14 (I am 5'8", 155 lbs). I measured myself and studied the reviews given for other people in my weight range and chose the size according to the size chart. I loved the colors and fabric in both, and I loved how they went up to my navel so no muffin top. So cute! However, I was so disappointed when both pairs of the Delta (blue) were too big, so much so in the smaller size 12, I was able to pull the waist and abdomen away from my body an extra inch. I tried on the Saddle (brown), and although the 12 fit perfectly, as I walked around the house the shorts kept creeping higher and higher into my buttocks, and I kept having to pick and readjust to pull them down. I will be sending all pairs back.
