Great shorts!
I'm 5'8, 155lbs and have muscular legs. I find lots of shorts to be too short, too tight, or they ride up. These shorts fit perfectly, are comfortable and slimming. I bought a 2nd pair.

Fit was not for me
The rise was a bit too high and the legs very wide & baggy. I don’t have particularly slender thighs. I wanted to make them work so I tried sizing down one size but the cut was still off for me. Legs were way too loose.

Flattering Cut Off Shorts
These jean shorts are so cute, and the longer length is very flattering. I feel the Skywave rinse might run a tad smaller than the more faded and distressed rinses, but still fits . 100% cotton, so they will likely stretch out a bit. So worth the investment.

Love these shorts!
I love these denim shorts! At 55, I was looking for something a little longer than my usual cutoffs, and these are perfect. They remind me of the iconic shorts Cindy Crawford wore in that ‘90s Pepsi commercial—classic and flattering.
For reference, I’m 5'5" and about 120 lbs with long legs, and these definitely don’t fit me like jorts—LOL! I went with a size 25, and they fit perfectly. I usually wear a 26/27, but these do run big. I have a 27" waist (maybe smaller), and there’s about an inch of room at the waist, so they’re not tight at all.
I have a smaller booty and hips, but somehow these shorts actually give me some curves—bonus! They hit high-rise on me since I have a shorter torso, and I think they look great. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but totally worth it. I’m already thinking about getting another pair.

Must Have!
I have such a hard time finding flattering shorts due to my height and shape. I'm 5'8 with wide hips and skinny legs and these shorts are perfection!
Not too short and gives me such a nice shape, I wish they weren't so pricey but I will be living in them this summer.

cute, NOT high rise!
Really like the relaxed fit on these— I’m 5’10, 170lbs and a bit curvy on the thighs, and I’m usually a size 29– sized up in these to a 30 to make sure I had the room I needed in the thighs / butt. Fit is really nice, just need to note that the rise hits BELOW the belly button, and they are not at all high rise as mentioned in the description. I have a friend with the same ones, and the rise hits her lower too.
