yup

the perfect short. I'm more of a nonstretch denim girlie but I'm glad I took the leap of faith. madewell shorts especially tend to give me camel, pancake, or occasionally both, but the fit is truly on point with these. wearing them for the second day in a row and so far they've held their shape well to boot.fyi I'm not moving the fit dial but I do believe these probably run a touch large, but definitely nothing crazy - wouldn't size down unless you want them baggy.

Perfection

I sized up in these to get a hip-slung look (usually wear a 28, got a 29--I realized I will never reach for high-rise jean shorts when it's hot out) and they were the winners in my Mad Max Black Cutoff Jort Race To The Death. Have worn them extensively this summer and they still make me very happy.

Perfect black summer shorts

These shorts are the perfect summer wardrobe staple - they’re super stretchy, a good length and go with every top you can think of. Would definitely recommend!

Soon to be fav shorts

I love these shorts, the style is exactly what I wanted. They're short-shorts without being risky. They feel cute and age appropriate. I'm a 28 in most MW jeans but will need to exchange these for a 27 because the gap so much in the back

Great shorts

These shorts are really nice quality and feel great! I think they run just a bit small but not enough to size down as they loosen a bit with wear. Overall I highly recommend these :)

These are everything

I’m so happy with these shorts. I’m planning to order other perfect vintage jeans shorts right away. They are high waisted, comfortable, and so flattering. My normal size 29 fits perfectly.
