Baggy basic

Reading the reviews, I feel like these shorts are getting a bad rap. They are soft, comfortable, and loose fitting. The size small is perfect for the baggy post beach look. And they have pockets. I could probably size down to an XS for something more fitted but I won’t be doing that.

Comfy, lightweight, and nautical chic!

Perfect hot weather shorts to pair with an adorable cropped white tank! It was a “fancy”mom outfit for back to school shopping at target lol. Paired it with some fun gold jewelry, cute TB sandals & my LV bag!

Cute comfy shorts but big.

I know they are oversized but they are really oversized. But looked really cute with the top. And crazy comfy, just the right length. Contemplating keeping the set.

A little big but comfortable

A little too casual and loose for trying to wear something dressier than athletic shorts. They fit more like boxers. That being said, they are extremely comfortable and easy to wear.

Not TTS

If you have hips, butt and thighs, size up. I’m usually XL sometimes XXL if it runs small. XL did NOT even want to go over my thighs.
