Tie Waist Shorts

These shorts were a fun find. I wasn’t sure about wearing something like this, but I think I liked it. They were just a little bit snug. I probably could have sized up for comfort, but overall they were great. I did iron them, but I forgot about the belt. If you rent these just know that the belt does not remove. The fabric was light, but still thick enough to have some structure to it.

The Goldilocks of shorts

I love these shorts so much I bought them almost immediately. They are comfortable with just enough stretch, but also a nice enough fabric they can dress up a casual shirt. I love the way the pleating and cinching of the waist makes the fabric lie while highlighting my waist.

Such a great short

I should have sized down as these were a true 12 but I they still fit especially when I tied them tight.

Adorable paper bag waist short! With a summer tan these shorts are 10/10! Although the pockets show through a little bit, but they are not sheer! However, I would still recommend wearing nude undergarments. The attached belt is so flattering and really accentuates your shape. Runs TTS. I can not to wait to wear these for a chic daytime look in the summer!

Comfy, rides up

Comfy and I thought it fit well without hugging my thighs too much. However, it did still ride up quite a bit during a walking tour so I had to keep adjusting it down. I liked that it was high-waisted. Would actually rent it again.

Team RTR Review

Great shorts. True to size. I was surprised by these, they are really nice and comfortable. Love the high paper bag waist and the length of these. There’s a little too much fabric in the front so when I sit it bunches and looks weird but if you don’t mind it, then no big deal. Not see through, but I’d stick with nude underneath still. Belt is also removable if you wanted to switch it out. Also wrinkle pretty easily. Wore these out to dinner but can be casual or dressed up. Overall nice summer short.

Super cute,

Ordered a size up because shorts always make me nervous. This was definitely the right size to order. They kinda bunched up a little as I was moving around, but loved wearing these.

A bit tight and short

Might look/fit better once it’s steamed but I feel like a size larger could have fit better but would’ve still been a bit too short for me.

Loved these. Wore dressed up with a button down, with a tank while touring around, and over bathing suits on vacation. The look is oversized so suggest wearing with a fitted top so this it's not big on big!

These fit so well and were very flattering. I wore them with several different tops and with some one piece swimsuits. Especially over a swimsuit, they made me feel incredibly put together. I'd buy these if the price went down. LOVE

I always love it when I get something in my rental that I'm like "DANG, this is so cute!" This is how I felt about these shorts, I put them on and I felt the razzle dazzle come over me.
