Parker Cutoff Shorts

I agonized over paying $$ for pretty much a maxi-pad-type-of-shorts BUT I am a convert now!! If you typically don’t love yourself in cutoffs you might love these. - they are the perfect combination of super flattering, sexy, cool shorts. The leg openings are not tight and therefore lend the ultra slimming effect and the same goes for the looser/relaxed but not baggy fit. Swapmeet wash is the perfect sky blue color with just the right amount of distressing. As for sizing, I am 5’4” and 121-128lbs and usually wear jean size 26-27 and got these in 27 - which gives me the relaxed fit without baginess and comfort to wear these literally all day long. Just when I thought that the days of denim cutoffs were over for me, I discovered these and and cannot be happier! Buy them!!

Photos don’t do these shorts justice. Sooo cute and flattering. Got a size 25 (usually a 26). 5’4 and 126lbs. Fit my athletic legs (which can be tough sometimes)! Highly recommend!

I do love the style of these but they’re an odd fit. If you have a bigger butt (the only way to explain is to say a bubble butt) like me you may not like these, they look good in the front but look slightly tight in the butt and weird because they’re a bit longer back there. They’re supposed to be slightly baggie but it’s not possible if you have a booty. I’m usually an 8 in pants but had to size up to a 32 in these because of that. If you call agolde they will tell you to go with the size that’s snug on you because they will stretch which is partly true, they do stretch except for in the seat :/ grrrr. I did keep these but part of the destructed area ripped

I really loved these shorts and read the reviews prior to purchase. I saw that some folks had a rip issue, but really loved the look and got them anyway. Well, after 5 hours of wearing them, the rip started to happen. Not even in a seam but right up the middle of the leg. I immediately took them off and returned them. Sad because I really liked the look of these!

These shorts are SO FLATTERING! They’re edgy and cute, without being too revealing (hate when I feel like my butt is hanging out). If you’re looking for a more form fitting pair, I would recommend sizing down! I actually have two pairs, one in a 24 and one in my normal size 25, so I can have both a tighter and looser fit, depending on the occasion! For reference, I am 5’4 and 115-117lbs. I typically wear a 25 in most brands (I commonly wear Madewell and Everlane jeans). I know it seems crazy to spend this much on shorts, but it’s the only pair you’ll want to wear all summer!

The reviews are super inconsistent—some day to size up and others say to size down. I normally wear a 27 in madewell jeans and a 28 in Levi’s, and a medium, sometimes small in tops. I tend to size up with bottoms I’m not as familiar with since I have a bigger booty and thighs. This was my first Agolde purchase, so I purchased a 29 and 30 based on the reviews. The 30s came first and they fit okay, but were very baggy in the waist and booty. The 29s fit a LOT better but we’re still a bit roomy in the waist but fit great around the thighs—looser and not tight at all. They fit pretty perfectly! I probably could’ve done my true size (28), decided to keep the 29s because was worried that the thighs would be too small. The first time I wore the 29s, I bent down to pick something up and the distressing on the right (my right leg—left in photo) leg ripped, just like the reviews said. I tried to be careful but every time I would bend at the waist, the rip got larger and larger. By the end of wearing them for ~6 hours, the rip was halfway up the thigh. I love the fit and contemplated taking them to a seamstress to fix, but that is WAY too much work considering how much I spent on the shorts originally. I am returning the 29s because $130 is way too much to spend on shorts that you have to be so delicate with. I tried the 30s on and bent over and didn’t have a problem since they are very loose on me. I am going to keep the 30s, wash and dry them and then get them altered at Nordstrom for the perfect fit. Overall, these shorts are amazing. I will definitely get other washes from the brand in the future. If you are thin/have a more straight up and down body type I would say do your true size or even size down 1 size. If you are more of an hourglass/curvy hips/thighs then I would size up to prevent the distressing from ripping when you move around.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered these after hearing such great things about the fit and inseam length not being too short. I wear a 12/31, so I ordered the 32 based on reviews - I couldn't even button them, and they were so short! Sadly returned.

Took me a bit but I gave in and splurged. Mainly b/c I’m petite & it’s so hard to find the right fit. Very high rise but comfortable, relaxed fit and not too short. Weird side note, 5 buttons but only 4 buttonholes. Why? Maybe my pair is defective, not sure

Not sure what all the hype is around the Parkers but they were just ok. Not worth the $. Pros: love the color cons: 1) sizing: I had a hard time with sizing. I went up 1 size as everyone recommended. I’m usually a 27 but got the 28. We’ll I had to two pairs of the 28 because they didn’t fit the same. I even tried a 29 and it was just too big. So no two pairs are the same and 2) fit. I did not like it. It crouches up between the leg

These shorts are really comfortable and soft, but I do think that they were made for more “athletic build” body types instead of curvy. If you have a 15 ish inch difference between your waist and the widest part of your butt like I do, then I would size up by at least 1 size. I got my normal size (29) and a size up (30) to see which one fits and they both had a major gap that would need to be tailored. I’m choosing to keep the 30 because the 29 was so tight on my hips and butt that I couldn’t really sit down without possibly causing a rip. The 30 is comfortable and loose, I’ll bring it in to have it tailored at Nordstrom to fix the gap. I would have added pictures but the website isn’t letting me, will add later if I can. Hope this helps my fellow curvy girls out there!

I absolutely love these shorts. I had them in a 28 last summer, lost some weight and NEEDED them again this year. Ordered a 27 and they're perfect (5'6", 130 for reference)

If you have a hard time finding shorts that look good on you, LOOK NO FURTHER. These fit amazing and i'm SO happy i decided to give these a shot. I can't ever wear shorts, because i have thicker thighs and a bigger butt... But the wideness on the legs make these super flattering. I wear a size 27 in pretty much all jeans and the 27 fit perfectly. I also tried the 28 thinking that I could use the extra leg space and get the waist taken in, but I didn't need to (the 28's were way too big).
