Might be cute? Hard to say - these run very large

I took my normal size and the shorts were VERY big. I would go at least 1 size down. They also seemed longer on me (5'6") than expected. There is a weird bunching of fabric in front. Might be less noticeable in the correct size. Not my favorite RTR item.

Sizing is a crap shoot

Not sure if these shrunk or if you should stick to regular size if you have rounder hips/booty Followed reviews that there were “huge”… but they actually fit pretty well, except that the pleats made the front bulge. If I had gone with my usual 27 I think they would have hung better

Didn't end up wearing because they were such an awkward fit

I dozed down to 26 based on the reviews, I'm usually between a 27-28. I don't know if the 27 might have been a better fit for me but they were super baggy in the front, but too tight in the back. They look really cute from straight on but that's about it :/

Perfect for postpartum!

I wore these shorts ALL summer. I would have bought them, but by end of summer I needed the next size down. They were the perfect postpartum shorts for me. I got several compliments.

Super cute from the front, not great from the side.

Love the front sillouette, but there is so much extra fabric in the pooch area. Great if you need that extra so it doesn't stretch weirdly. Wasn't for me. Comfy though.

Fits but not flattering on me

I have a 34" waist and 43" hip measurement- these fit well in a 31, but they didn't really do anything for my figure and I decided not to wear them.

Not baggy for me

Rented this as part of my postpartum wardrobe, given that all reviews said these ran big and baggy, thought I could get away with renting my pre-pregnancy size. Wrong. They still fit but we're snug and honestly just made me feel like a middle-aged woman.

Unflattering fit!

These are oversized, which is a style I like, but even with that the fit was weird and unflattering. The zipper bumped out in a weird way in the front that was very unflattering. They were comfortable but even just for running errands they didn't really work.

Way too big, runs 2-3 sizes big

I should have read reviews more carefully. These were huge!! They were way too baggy in the waist area. The rise was way too big as well. Just couldn't even begin to wear these. They were also more acid washed then appeared in pic. Actually, I think I might have had these shorts in 8th grade like 30 year ago lol ;)

These were awful. I'd guess they run about 4 sizes too large. Reminded me of a large adult clown diaper.

I’m an in betweener so generally size down for relaxed boyfriend or mom styles and size up for slim fit. Would need more like 3 sizes down for the shorts but like to try again they would be cute!

These run really big!

I am normally a 26, and after seeing other reviews about how big they run I got these in a 24. They are still huge on me! Sad I won't be able to wear these for an upcoming beach trip.

AWFUL SHORTS

Ugly and 4 sizes too big. Completely unwearable. A wasted rental spot.
