Cute, Comfortable, and Easy to Wear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these in blue and really love them! They were a little tight at first, but they have a good amount of stretch, which makes them really comfortable. I also love the length; it’s just right. Overall, a great pair of shorts you can dress up or down.

Stretchy, kind of thin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are okay, definitely seems lower quality than the denim version. They run a little small but also stretchy.

Want more!

Love the fit and the unique front pockets. The length is nice as a 6' girl. Very comfortable!

Great shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shorts! Super versatile and flattering. Easy to dress up or down. Only downside I’ve experienced is that they can occasionally ride up which makes them slightly uncomfortable at time. But not enough that it keeps me from wearing them at all.

Great, versatile short

I love these shorts! They have been a summer staple for me. Very flattering. Easy to dress up or down and overall very comfortable. Only thing I’ve noticed is that they can ride up a bit making them a touch uncomfortable at moments, but not enough that prevents me from wearing them.

I wasn’t eyeing these but saw them in the clearance section and immediately tried it on. I’m usually a size 24 in Madewell jeans but I actually got a 26 bc I loved them so much and it gave me some room. Much needed since I’m a mom and the comfort and room helps! The front just feels a bit big when I sit down but other than that I really love them! Highly recommend
