Nice black denim shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already own a pair of lighter blue, very distressed Essex denim shorts and I love them. Wander the black and did find they are a bit more fitted, yet still loose enough. They also have a simple straight cut off hem which makes them a bit dressier than the ripped other colors. Can dress up or down for casual wear and still feel put together.

Perfect summer shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the length on these. I have two pairs from last year and just bought two more colors for this summer.

Love them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a pair of denim shorts that are not too long, not too short, don’t give me a wedgie (please tell me I’m not alone ha). I found these and went with the black because all the other colors had holes and I didn’t want any. These are comfortable and a great length for me. I’m normally a size 30 in jeans at other stores, I sized down to a 29 here.

The Essex Long Baggy Short, Ashen black Wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shorts are great for anyone who wants to show some leg but not all leg. They fit true to size for my tall slim build. They washed and dried with no issues turned inside out. They are such a great fit. I will be going back for the other colors.

Try them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t think I would like them, but they are very comfortable and definitely looked better than imagined. Super lightweight and easy wearing.

Love these shorts
My only hang up about these shorts is the button fly. As a mom it’s is such a hassle and I’d rather have a zipper but other than than the are great.
