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.

Never had a pair of jean shorts fit me so well!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these just a week ago and am so grateful for the comfortable fit! They are quite stretchy with excellent breathability.

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.
