Essex long baggy short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are perfect! Not too long just the right length. Denim is soft and feels good on your skin. The fit is true to size. Absolutely love them.

BUTTON FLY NOT DISCLOSED
Shorts were baggy, a little too oversized. But button fly not disclosed in write up. They are going back.

Love these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have these in two washes, the second being the retro bright and it’s my favorite wash. Super soft. The retro bright is a bit tighter than the other wash I have, but I kind of wanted that as the others are pretty loose. They’ll be my go to this summer. I found this was more true to size.
Super comfy

Comfy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wasn’t sure how I felt about them online but I saw a girl wearing them in store and grabbed them!

The perfect Shorts!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for these kinds of shorts, for about a year now. And oh my gosh, when I write that this is one of the most amazing pair of jean shorts I have ever owned, I mean it. I am 5'9" and around ~160lbs, so finding shorts that don't feel like they are ridding up or don't fit is quite difficult. The pockets, cut, wash, and size on these shorts are perfect. I did have to buy a larger size than usual, so that means they run small. But I would still give these shorts a 10/10!!
