Perfect linen shorts

These are the perfect linen shorts. They are very comfortable and fit true to size. Perfect for a very hot day at vineyard. They are also a nice length…not too long and not too short. They can also be dressed up or down. Definitely going to rent again or buy!

Great fit, true red!

These were a great length and super lightweight. Perfect for chasing kids around at a tailgate. They ran a little on the roomy side for me.

Great shorts

Great shorts, super lightweight, perfect red color and comfortable. They are linen so they looked wrinkled by end of day but so lightweight and perfect for a summer day. Easy to dress up or down

Relaxed fit, cute

Definitely had mom vibes but was cute in a laidback way. Maybe could have sized down as they were a bit loose/baggy but wasn’t a big deal bc I was going for more of a relaxed look

Comfortable shorts

Super comfortable. Fun color to play around with. They’re very red. They are true to size and loose through the legs. They’re linen so they wrinkle a bit easily.

These were fine for 4th of July, everyone LOVED them, but I felt kind of frumpy I dunno. They wrinkle really easily.

Felt like a clown

Seriously… I thought these were more of an orange color but they are bright red. And run large. I’m normally a 6, maybe an 8 at times, but never a 4. These are big. I did not end up wearing because I felt like Ronald McDonald’s little sister. :(

These shorts are a nice, light linen and cut well. I wish I'd rented them before it turned cooler here. I could've worn them more.

love the color, waist a little big

i believe madewell runs a bit big (on me anyway) because im usually a size 10/12 and i could have taken an 8 in these. a little big in the waist but they still looked good enough for me to wear. light fabric great for summer. pair with an easy white tee for a simple and classic look.

I should have sized down, but these shorts are high waisted enough that it didn't matter. Plus they were super comfy.

Pretty color and very comfortable!

I loved these and ordered a size down for my next rental shipment. The color is so lovely and perfect for summer. I would definitely say it runs large, size down. I’m a 26 inch waist and these were too big in a 2.

Nice everyday shorts

Liked the way these looked. Felt like a nicer pair of every day shorts. They were short in the rise though and were uncomfortable by the end of the day.

A little too large with no loops for a belt

The material got matted/wrinkles easily and they were a bit on the large side.

Cute red

I thought these shorts were cute! Unfortunately I have recently lost weight and they were way too large for me. The functionality of the app isn’t working for me so the only way to tell them they were too large is to leave this review so take it with a grain of salt. If they had fit high waisted like I wanted I would have loved

Size down if between

Cool and comfortable. I’m between and 8 and 10, wore a 10, but probably could have worn an 8. I don’t normally wear shorts but these were roomy and long to wear walking around all day comfortably and looked cute

Elevate everyday when running errands and meeting for a Saturday lunch.

Fit well, linen fabric is good for HOT Texas weather.
