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

Not as pictured
These Jen’s shorts don’t even come close to my knees. They look nothing like the photo. They’re probably 2 inches above my knees and cut in a way that they look very unattractive. Sending back.

i won't need any other shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So comfortable and so well made, and they don't need much washing. I want every color. I love the darker color.It was really nice to try on and find the right fit at the Venice Beach store., and the shop guy was so nice. Go ahead and get them you won't regret it!

Great Jean shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this light Jean color. Length is great with distressed features. Can see wearing these all summer long. I’m older so appreciate longer look.

Great summer shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got these summer jean shorts from Madewell and I’m honestly obsessed. The fit is SO good — super flattering without feeling tight, and they hit at the perfect length (which is rare for petites!). The denim feels high quality but still soft enough to be comfortable all day. For reference, I’m 4’11”, 110 lbs, petite, and got a size 25 — they fit perfectly. Definitely one of those pieces you can throw on with anything and feel put together instantly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect summer shorts ☀️

Cool fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought these shorts and I cannot wait to wear them! The fit and cut is so perfect and cool. A bit baggy and wide at the bottom and the denim is soft especially on the very light wash where the sizing could feel a bit bigger, or true to size. I'm border line 26" - 27" but bought 26" in the lighter wash. I see them fit with so many different tops or even blazers to make a statement.

Comfort cool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are incredibly comfortable! Soft, not stiff, and feel as comfortable as a quality pair of shorts can without the high-end designer price. I can’t wait to wear them when it warms up! I even bought them in another color.
