Everyday summer shorts

True to size, I am 5'7 130# and got size 25. They fit high waisted on me at that size which is what i want. You could size up for a hip slung look.

Great Shorts

I live in denim shorts and I LOVE these. Exactly the relaxed fit I was looking for. I sized up to make sure they were extra-loose, but in general I would describe these as fitting TTS. Would love more colors!

Best denim short!

I absolutely LOVE these denim shorts. Fabric and fit are great. I ordered a size up to have some room and not a tight fit. I love these denim shorts wash as well as the distressing. I highly recommend these shorts!

Great Shorts!

These are the perfect denim cutoffs! I typically wear a 26 in Madewell jeans and I bought the same size. They fit perfectly and the length is just right. On me, they actually fit very similar to the model which is exactly what I wanted.
