Best Shorts EVER!

I love these shorts! I bought some last year and it wasn't until I ordered jeans later in the fall that I realized you are supposed to size down with the absolution brand. I am 5'8, 165 lbs and normally wear a 12, but I ordered a 10 and they fit perfect. Easy to move in and chase kids, so glad to have this staple for the summer! I wish they came in more colors, like a dark denim.

Not great like the reviews say

I have been looking for knee length shorts for a while since they’re hard to come by, especially ones with a good fit. I’m a 2, so I ordered a 0, they seem to be comfortable in the waist but too tight in the crotch area and too loose in the leg. Not flattering at all, pretty disappointed :(

Flattering

Comfortable shorts that I feel I can wear in public. My 16 year old daughter said my behind looks good. Though I have several pants these are my first shorts with Ab-solution. I size down in the pants because they stretch and it’s the same with the shorts.

Second pair of W&W! Great fit!

I also have the bootcut wit and wisdom petite. My problem areas are my butt and thighs and these have a really nice fit for women who are curvy in those areas. I especially love that the waste doesn’t gap when I bend over and they are light weight and stretchy. Will be a summer staple!

Perfect in every way

If I could give the brand a million stars I would. I love their denim! It’s super soft, lots of stretch and hugs in all the right places. If you have a small waist and curvy hips these don’t leave a gap. Size down a size, they have a lot of stretch and ease up about an hour after putting on. Everything I’ve gotten in the denim fits perfect!! LOVE!!

Forgiving short

Very long short, like Bermuda. Material is very soft, stretchy and comfortable. These will be a summer staple.

very comfortable

Originally bought a size 6 cause it was the only size available in the store but returned it for an 8. I usually wear an 8 or 10. 8 was perfect. I love them cause they fit my leg tight all the way down-not baggy.

Not for me

I’m 5’4” and about 120 lbs. I purchased a size 2. Unfortunately, they’re going back. The length, uncuffed is past my knees so I could only wear them cuffed. The fit is slightly loose in the thighs, the waist fits fine but the butt area is just flat. Overall, not flattering in the slightest.

Roomy legs compared to jeans

Similar to the jeans, but a looser fit. Thought they were to big in the leg.

Great length and fit.

I love this brand and these shorts don't disappoint. Higher waist for more tummy control. Slightly fuller through thigh without being baggy; perfect for the summer because who wants skin tight denim in the heat! Do size down as they run large. They hit right above knee and look super cute without being frumpy.

Fit is tight

I ordered these in 14 but am returning due to being to tight. They have a thick elastic waistband that reminds me of maternity clothes. Ok quality but runs small, I am 5'11" and 180lbs.

Super comfy

I have been looking for shorts that fit in the waist without the button digging into me, and also not sagging in the seat and legs. These shorts are the perfect fit. And the longer length is great as weather starts to slightly cool down.I liked them so much I bought a second pair.

Long shorts?

These look better on the model than they do on me, which isn't surprising, but it was disappointing. They are really long, and I am not sure if people will be wearing such long shorts this summer. I hope so, and if they are, I will too!
