Great shorts!

Love these shorts! I purchased the sunfaded blue color and love how they can be paired with anything! The fabric is good quality and not see through. These shorts run a tad big in my opinion, but it’s best to try them on first to know your size. Will definitely be getting other colors!

Even fits curvy bottoms!

Even this structured linen fits my curvier butt and thighs! I pulled these on and was wowed that they looked effortlessly polished. Bought a second pair right away!

Love

Super cute linen shorts for summer - paired it with a white tee and have been rocking them all summer long - I do have to say they do wrinkle pretty quickly like sitting in them wrinkled them but overall love the fit and style.

Better than expected

I grabbed these on a whim at the store and was so surprised when I tried them on! They don’t look like much on the hanger, but they fit so well. Just the right amount of bagginess, not scratchy linen, and a beautiful saturated color. A surprise winner for sure!

Great summer shorts

Love the fit and material, comfy and breathable for the summer. I did size up from a medium to a large in case I shrink them.

Great summer shorts

Absolutely love these shorts. The linen makes them light and breezy for really hot summer days but they pair great with sandals or sneakers.
