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

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.

Comfy shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfy. I got mine a tad big so that I can wear them loose. Great color and have gotten lots of compliments already.

Loving!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love that these are 100% cotton. I am 5'9" and they hit right above the knee for me, which is perfect. I got my tts!

Great denim shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The length, width and distressed denim give these shorts and soft broken in feel from day one. Most of my height is in my torso and I purchased a size 28. Usually I purchase a 27 or 28 in Madewell jeans and pants.

Great Denim shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Length, width and distressed denim make these feel soft and broken in the first time you wear them. I’m 5’ 8” and most of my height is in my torso, I found these to run true to size.
