Cute for running around Rome

Perfect shorts for adventuring on vacation. Needed to iron them, but they didn’t wrinkle and did the job! Loved the length and the small for well around my waist. The medium I was swimming in and I am usually a size 6.

Adorable on trend mom shorts!

These are so comfy and way cuter than expected. I just wanted to try this longer short trend and I ended up buying them. Wearing them a lot!

Perfect

Just what I wanted. High quality and comfortable. I sized down as per all other reviews and did not regret it. Will be renting this again and highly considered just buying it. Wish they had it in different colors too.

Cute as a set!

This is super cute with the matching top. If you’re between sizes, size down. I am between an m-l (between 8-10 typically) so I sized down to medium and they fit perfectly! You wouldn’t want these to be baggy. Still experimenting if I’d wear with a different top for more versatility - I don’t think so though.

Great longer linen shorts for walking around in the summer heat, they definitely ran a little big, but overall worked well for what I needed them for!

Light, fits well but it gets so wrinkly. If that doesn’t bother you than they are perfect for summer!

Breathable but big

I didn’t listen to the other reviews and went ahead with my normal size because I didn’t have time to return before my vacation. They are super comfortable and I highly recommend getting but size down! Perfect for safari or hot day walking around. I made due with a belt but they ballooned out a bit so I tried without the belt for a low rise look and it was just eh. I recommend getting them but just size down one

Loved the shorts! Worn them on a safari and although they were a little big in the waist? They were super comfortable in the hot temps not sticking to my skin!

lol, what…

These were comically large, was able to take these on/off without unbuttoning. I don’t even think sizing down 1-2 sizes would have worked.

Too large to wear

Usually an 8-10. Thought it would be safe to order the large so I could wear them on vacation. They were so big they could be pulled down over my hips without unbuttoning. Didn’t end up wearing. They seem like a nice breathable fabric. Would have worn if I had ordered a medium.

Perfect fit, not too tight

Fit just right for my fit profile. Not super tight but not falling off. Great for tucking in shirts. You can eat a big meal and not feel like you have to unbutton which to me is success!

Get the shorts!

I was nervous about renting these because of other reviews but I loved them so much I may buy them. They were long enough to prevent chaffing and survived a lot of vacation walking in 85+ degree heat. I also loved how they looked when I tucked my shirt or tank top in. It definitely gave out archeologist or Lara Croft vibes but I liked the look a lot.

Sizing is very accurate but a little funky depending on body type.

Wearing with heels and a slimmer top helped balance the look.

Easy, versatile every day linen. I dozed down one for a better fit as they run big. They did stretch out a little after a few wears, but great staple summer piece

I felt that the shorts were a little too baggy to be worn by themselves with a fitted top. I did wear them with the matching shirt. The shorts fit true to size for me.

Cute but run large

These are really cute but unfortunately run pretty large and get even larger while wearing. The material is quite heavy so not as good for very hot and humid conditions. I may try renting again a smaller size.

Runs large

These shorts are so easy to wear, but run a size large. I wear an 8 or 6, and 28 or 27 in jeans and the medium was too big; the small is just right.

Cute, but they run large

The shorts definitely run a bit large, but I liked how they looked sitting loose with a cropped tea. They looked nice with a belt so the sizing issue wasn’t a huge deterrence from wearing them.
