Aug 31, 2024LOVE THESE… but, order a size or 2 down!!
I’m absolutely in love with these shorts!!! Super cute & very comfortable. But… I ordered a 24 and a 25 (I’m normally a 23/24). 24 fits well! 25 fits like a 28 (I know this because my neighbor tried them on (she’s a 28) and they fit her perfectly! Other than running super large - AWESOME SHORTS!! <3

Jun 07, 2024Perfect jean shorts!
The most perfect jean shorts! Not too short and rise hits the right spot on the waist (below the belly button). Such good quality too. Does run a little large however

Jul 14, 2024fits okay
honestly, idk how i feel about these. they look weird when pulled up a bit - above the bellybutton. they gap on the back for me but hug my thighs, which i don't like. i wouldn't recommend these if you're on the curvier side. however, they are cute when pulled down to fit as a mid rise item of clothing.

Jun 18, 2024Not good for short torsos
I’ve been trying to switch up my style after noticing pants with a lower rise fit nicely for me (midsize, short torso, broad shouldered). I’ve had a lot of success with Madewell’s shorts but sad to say these shorts fit more like mid/high rise shorts than actual low rise. There was a lot of gapping in the back. Makes me wish they offered these shorts in petite to see if there’s any difference with the fit.
