cute and flattering

Really soft fabric with a little flare, very flattering and hides a bit of tummy since it’s a high rise. Love it!

cute and flattering, but runs small

These are a cute addition for something a little more special than a regular jean short. They are a little snug in the waist- I sized up one size. The flare and soft denim gives an airy, mini skirt feel.

Too much fabric

I’m slender but these shorts make my hips look so wide. They would work if the extra two inches of side fabric was removed.

just okay. disappointed.

I own several pairs of Paige jeans and I consistently wear a size 29. I ordered both a size 29 and 30 because I was going on vacation and wanted to ensure the right fit. The 30 fit, but it was still tight so I might even suggest going up two sizes. Other than that, the fit was not as cute as I had hoped. Flares out a lot a like a skirt and the tie belt is cute. Denim material is soft and not a true structured denim jean. Wanted to love these but did make the cut, so will be returning.
