Super cute

Really liked these. The fit was good and the weight of the denim was just right. Tried others that didn’t fit right and these were so reasonably priced. True to size.p

Unflattering

High quality material but I think the only way these will look good on you is if you have the shape the model has. I'm 5'5" and pear shaped. Bought size 26 and there was a waist gap. They also came closer to my knee than the tall model of course. I looked frumpy and square. Super unflattering.

Huge A-line cut legs, silly looking

These run large, definitely size down one size. I am a size 28 in Levi's shorts, a 27 in most Madewell, I ordered these in a 27 and would need a 26 but I'm returning them. My stats: 126lbs, 5'8". Pros: loved the wash & feel of the denim. Cons: the legs are cut very wide and stick out on the side, picture an A-line skirt or dress and that is what these shorts do. Would be better with 2 inches less of material sticking out.

ok but not my style

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit very high-rise on me. From the description, I expected them to sit a bit lower on the hips. Sadly, they were simply not attractive to me. I prefer a lighter and softer denim - these are really heavy and stiff. Not a flattering look.

Cute comfortable and stylish jean Be shorts

Bought these about a month ago and they have been a constant wear in my wardrobe ever since. They are comfortable and so cute I get compliments from the Gen Z! They do run big and baggy, which I love.
