super cute, runs small

Cute shorts, long on me at 5’2” but it’s what I wanted. Definitely not true to size. I wear 26 in Levi’s and had to size up to a 28 to like the fit. I prefer a looser fit. I couldn’t button the 26.

My new favorite shorts

Can’t wait to order another pair. I sized up based off other reviews and I’m so glad I did. Love the fit.

Timeless Style and Perfect Fii

Love it💞 I love the slightly frayed hem and the high-rise cut — it’s flattering and easy to pair with almost anything, from a casual tee to a tucked-in blouse. They’ve quickly become my go-to shorts for everyday wear.

Cute but runs so small

These are really cute on, but just know that they run about 2 sizes small, at least for me. With that in mind - they fit perfectly ha! I'm normally a 29, and a 31 fit me well.

Eureka!

Perfection. Love these shorts, tired over 15 pairs befor Levis and these are spot on. Great denim, nice weight- substantial but not too heavy, beautiful wash. Sized up so I can wear these low and relaxed. Already living in these these. Dress them up and down. Haven't washed them yet but they do stretch out which is nice, don't want something too rigid.
