5’6 139 27/28 in jeans and 38. 5 at widest point of hips and the small fits great! Some shorts dig into my thighs but these do not. They almost have an A-line cut. Love them enough I’d like to eventually get another color!
The material and cut and feel of these shorts are all great. I also love the purple color - very pretty. My only complaint is that the zipper pull tab does not lay flat when the shorts are zipped up. The tab bulges out and takes away from the smooth look you want with front-zip shorts. I bought 3 pairs of these shorts in different colors - every pair has the same problem with the bulging pull tab. Other than that the shorts are wonderful: cool and comfortable and classy.
I’d recommend sizing down if you’re in between sizes. They are a little big in the waist but I love the way they fit through the legs. These are a great for anyone with a more athletic build or bigger thighs. They fit perfectly without being too tight. Cute enough to throw on for errands / casual outings but also great for hiking ! In love with these shorts
I ordered the blue color. Comfortable for a short hike, I do not reccomened for cardio since they continuously rode up. If you are worried about sweat, they definitely show! Very thin and lightweight with a thick wistband. I can wear at my hips or at my waist.
I have a difficult time finding good shorts for hiking. I've found that shorts with an a-line cut like this don't ride up like most shorts do. They're super flattering as well. I'd love to see these in more colors in the future!
Ok. LOVE THESE. they are a perfect summer short. Note that they RUN LARGE. Ordered a medium and they were huge. Returned for a small and they are perfect. They are cute to dress up or wear casually. 5’9” 28” waist 37. 5” hip
I bought these in the green color. They fit great and the fabric feel is high quality. They are very comfortable, washed well. I'm 5'7" and 155 and bought these in medium.
Unfortunately these run very big. I love them but they don’t fit!! I want to return them for an xs but they are totally out of stock. Waist 27 size 2/4
Fits well, lots of room for my hips to move. Don’t feel restricted at all! Love the slight upturn at the side seams — subtle but effective.
The shorts fit great and are very flattering. Love the size of pockets; seems to store a lot without things flopping out of the pockets.
