Great fit!

Wore these for an ebike tour through Tuscany, and it was perfect. Comfortable for the ride, but nice enough that I didn’t feel schleppy at lunch. The stripes are two different colors of denim, no variation in texture. Loved these. Don’t let the “mom jeans” term fool you. They are more flattering than that lol.

Kept grabbing these shorts first

I would not say these are my favorite shorts ever, but I really liked wearing them. Wore them over and over for a month - they seemed to go with everything, very comfy, not too short, and easy to wear.

Love the color

I love the color and material of these shorts, they were too large for me, but I wore them with a belt. They did also get larger as the say dragged on, order size down.

Almost perfect

I had to size up to rent and they were too big. Would have been close to perfect if my size had been available.

Cute in a nerdy chic kinda way

These were big on me so I’d suggest sizing down (within reason). But they still looked cool in a hipster kind of way (like boyfriend shorts) just probably not how they were designed to fit.

Really weird fit

I wanted to love these but they were too tight on the waist and then have such an unflattering fit. It’s like baggy in the thighs but also somehow gives cameltoe.

So comfortable and a great cut

I wore these multiple times during vacation - easy to hike in but light enough to keep on during the beach.

Almost Bought Them!

Really comfortable and they go with so many tops and shirts. I was worried they wouldn’t but they’re surprisingly neutral.

Great causal shorts

These were comfy and not too short or too long. The colors of the stripe are a cool muted color combo. Loved these and would def rent again. I have a 30 in waist and 38 in hip, and the size 29 fit me just right in a comfortable way.

Good basic short

Good basic short. Nothing standout but a nice change from regular Jean shorts. Probably could’ve sized down one as the waist haloed a little

Comfortable shorts

Shorts fit well. Wore them on a beach vacation. They were comfortable to wear all day and walk around in.

Comfy

Little too bulky for my preference. Loved the pockets, the high waist. These serve curvy body shapes.

Good shorts - comfortable

These were just good, comfy denim shorts. Nothing spectacular. They fit really well. The length was good and they didn't ride up on me. The colors were interesting...kind of pinkish and mustard alternating strip. I like them/

ok.

Didn't love the pattern, it didn't look good on my fair skin. Fit fine, a little tight in the waist.

Fine

These are okay. I like that the little stripe is pink.
