Reviews Summary
Customers say these high-rise shorts offer excellent comfort and flattering fit, with many praising the soft corduroy fabric and perfect 6-inch length. Users appreciate the high waist design and find them suitable for various activities including cycling. Many reviewers mention purchasing multiple pairs in different colors, particularly loving the available color options. However, sizing inconsistency is frequently mentioned, with many customers recommending sizing up as these shorts tend to run smaller than expected. Some note the high-rise version fits tighter than regular-rise styles. The fabric is described as lightweight and comfortable, though a few mention limited stretch. Overall, customers find these shorts stylish and well-made despite sizing challenges.

    Great shorts

    I love the Carve shorts. I did size up on the hi-rise shorts as they are a bit tighter through the waist. Simply sizing up made them very comfortable

    Great catch on sale

    I’ve waited for a sale, and very happy with these shorts. Soft, olive is a great neutral, and the 6 inch length is perfect.
