Comfy

These shorts were comfortable but not really flattering on me, mostly due to them bunching up in the crotch area. They also made my hips look wide.

I do think think these were true to size, I'm just unsure of my size because of weight loss

These are true to size, I am just a smaller size than I thought- I liked the length, slightly longer than mid thigh, but definitely not Bermuda shorts. I liked the wash. Overall just needed them smaller (waist 26.5 and hips 38 for reference)

Levi Shorts

I like the shorts, but they run small. I won't be able to wear these. These shorts are a button-up vs zipper which I like, but I just can't wear these.

I really loved these. They are the perfect length for me. If anything they may run on the smaller side.

runs small

runs sooo small for Levi's. i'm typically a 26 in the 501s. after reading reviews i got a 28, which fit OK but was a bit tight in the thigh & loose in the waist. bummer bc i don't typically have that problem with Levi's.

Runs small

My usual jeans size fit but was on the snugger size. Agree with sizing up if you want these to look more relaxed.

I shouldn't have sized down

AI tool suggested a size smaller than I usually get, and reviews said they ran big so I sized down. I can get into them, but the muffin top is extreme. Not going to be able to wear these, unfortunately.

Runs small in thighs

You won’t get the baggy look in the model photo unless your thighs are the extremely slender. These wore more like bike shorts on me. They still looked cute but not the look I was going for. I’m trying a size up to see if that helps

Order 2 sizes up

I’m usually a 30 or 31 in jeans and got the 31 in these. They were wearable but tight — not at all like the loose fit in the picture, even after wearing them around for a day. If I ordered again I would get the 32.

Snug in the thighs!

These were not forgiving on the thighs - but the waist was baggy. Material and cut very cute - just not for me.

not good if you have athletic legs

the waist fit fine, but the legs were super tight on my thighs, which i was suprised since the photo makes them look slightly baggy
