Just fine
The oat color is sheer, so people will definitely see whatever color panties you’re wearing. They’re also just kind of meh. If you have any sort of curves, the fabric folds weird under the belly and the pockets stick out making them very unflattering. I also tried the other two colors to the same effect. They’re not worth it for how mediocre they are.

Love these
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these run a little large in size, so I sized down. Love the material, quality, length. Got them in two colors.

Comfy but see through
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cute style, length, and fit but the color was very see through and although that’s expected with linen it didn’t work for what I planned to wear them for. Might consider the black or chocolate next.

Perfect shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfectly light and summery even in black, exactly what I needed to add to my wardrobe this year.
