Comfy go to shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a nice relaxed yet fitted pair of shorts these are it. Super casual and comfy. They look nice rolled one time too if you’re interested in the fit but with a slightly shorter fit.

Weird wedgie situation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They fit in the hips and waist, but the fabric is an instant wedgie! Its super uncomfortable and unflattering. I wear a lot of madewell, and this is the first time this has happened.. returning.

Flattering AND Comfortable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these shorts. they have the perfect stretch, but are still structured and flattering. The length is perfect and the waist does not pinch. Can't wait for summer!

Comfy shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so comfy. And just the right length for mom life. I did have to size down because they are so stretchy, only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars
