Worked okay

These worked okay. They fit the waist perfectly but were shorter than I expected. Wore to work without doing the finger tip test only to realize they were shorter than I thought. They also wrinkled very easily.

Wear everywhere summer shorts!

Loved the heavier linen fabric and the unique color that truly seemed to go with everything. Dressed up with sandals, dressed down with a more relaxed linen too - super versatile and very comfortable.

Perfect shorts but ran big

I would have kept these or rented again in a size 8 if they were available. The 10 was too roomy. Warning - they get very wrinkled, but they're still so cute and the perfect length and tailoring.

Love them, great thigh room

If between sizes, size down. Usually 6-8, 8 had so much room, almost a low rise fit with the extra room

Super cute

I feel like these kept me looking polished on a brutally hot day. They wrinkle a little but not too much and looked nice. The fabric is the teeniest bit itchy so I wouldn't want them too tight, but I'm extra sensitive to itchy clothes and I wasn't bothered enough not to wear them

Very cute style

The style is great . They are comfortable and cozy . Dress them up or down . Unfortunately the sz 8 was too loose in the waist and I was scared they might slip off .

Strange Cut

You can kind of see it on the model, but the cut just feels off. It's a little too square, a little too short. I wore them, but I didn't find them the most flattering.

Great!

Comfortable, great length. Only downside is dry clean only— didn’t want to rewear the shorts, didn’t want to pay for dry clean.

Great fit!

I have a hard time finding shorts that fit and don't gap in the back and these were perfect! And I got lots of compliments. Would absolutely wear again.

Nothing special

Fit was fine, came to mid rise and length was not too short. I like that they are smart casual so a touch more elevated than denim for a vacation dinner. Wore with a fitted t-shirt tucked in.
