Comfortable, High Waisted
I really like these shorts. They’re high waisted, fabric is designed for activity - which I plan to use for hiking - and comfortable! I didn’t have any issues with the belt size. Sizing reference- I’m 118 lbs, 5’4 and ordered a Small. There is room for me to size down, however, they’re so comfortable I don’t think I would.

Fits large and awkward pockets.
I’m usually a XS. These shorts in XS fit like a S/M. The belt can be tighten but will leave a lot of fabric bunch up around the waist. The side pockets also make the shorts look unsymmetrical. Hard to describe. The model pic looks a lot better than when you have it on.

Super cute
Super cute and chic, sporty when paired with the Zella Luxe Corset sport bra in the same color. Very trendy but still provide moderate coverage overall in them. The short itself is stylish & versatile. High waisted so help eliminated the pooch section well. I would highly recommed. XS fit fine for my 5ft 115lb frame. I normally wear size 25 or 26 in jeans and 0 or 2 in dress pants.

Like these for summer
These are cute. My normal size fit but I wanted them a little looser so went up a size and they have a summer/hiking feel. I’ve already worn them a few times since getting them and can tell I’ll keep reaching for them. I like being able to adjust the waist with the belt too. The material and style might not be for everyone but personally I really like them.

Very comfortable with tons of pockets!
It’s so comfy, and so many pockets! I do not need my purse with these shorts. The only thing I really had trouble deciding was if I wanted small or medium, and I think small fit the aesthetic better because I do have a slimmer physique, the medium although didn’t feel too loose, it didn’t look right. I recommend it!

Great for hot days, but belt sizing inconsistent
Bought these after seeing in store. I got both colors in medium (my usual size) because they were lightweight and different than anything I already owned. However, the belt on one pair (light beige/grey ones I actually tried on in store) is fine in length but on black one (made the mistake of not trying on) is too short in that waist is uncomfortable when belted. So not sure why the belts with the clasps are different in length between the 2 pairs. I kept both and just cut off the belt in the black pair - no way to remove it otherwise I could see. Anyway, I still like them for hot summer days and think it looks fine with or without the fussy belt. Perfect length for me at around 5'3" and are unique and comfy (sans belt).
