I’ve been searching for shorts like these for so long — and I finally found them! These Amazon Essentials mid-rise slim-fit shorts are everything I hoped for. The 5-inch inseam is the perfect length: flattering, comfortable, and not too short. Just what I needed! The quality is excellent, light—the fabric feels durable but soft and breathable, and they hold their shape beautifully throughout the day. The fit is super flattering, and I love that they offer both straight and curvy options. I got the Khaki Brown in size 12 and they fit like a dream. These are a new staple in my wardrobe, and I’m already thinking of getting more colors. Highly recommend if you’ve been looking for that pair of go-to, feel-good shorts!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I wasn't optimistic about these shorts because of the low price. But once I tried on, they exceeded my expectations: thick material, not see through (unlike my other white shorts), flattering fit( I got the curvy option, size m) and very compatible with almost everything in my summer wardrobe. The material is not flowy, buttery soft like sweatpants. These are more on stiff side which I like the most, because this way they look more dressy, classy, holds the shape and It doesn't hunder the comfortability.

I agree with others who have stated the sizing is off. I’m 5’-6”, 125-130 pounds. Normally a 6 would be perfect. I ordered a curvy cut because that’s how I’m shaped. The shorts were snug across the hips, the waist was perfect, the length was great, the width of the leg was also great, but the rise was a bit short, causing some discomfort after wearing them for a day. I considered moving the top button to keep them from rising up too much but leaving it unbuttoned didn’t solve the rise issue. I did not notice any stretch in the fabric These shorts are super cute and and I tried an 8 curvy, which was much better. They are well made. The fabric is breathable and a good weight, not too thick and not too thin. The pockets are deep enough to hold a cell phone in the back and hands in the front. The best news is my daughter is a size smaller than me and she happily appropriated them. They fit her perfectly so no need to return them.

Reading the item desciptions I wasn't really sure what the actual difference would be between the curvy and straight cuts, and there didn't seem to be a size chart. I ended up ordering both so I could try them side by side. I'm pretty hippy/curvy, so I typically end up sizing up in shorts to keep them from clinging around my thighs. STRAIGHT: The straight fits typical to size. As usual, I found that the 12 straight fit in my waist, but was snug around my thighs. It fit, but I prefer the legs not to be snug. Meanwhile, the 14 straight was more forgiving in the thigh but gaped a lot in the waist to the point of not being wearable without alterations. CURVY: This fit as I would typically expect in the thigh and had a SMALLER than normal waist for the size number. The 14 curvy fit like the normal/straight 14 in the thigh but fit like the 12 normal/straight in the waist, giving my a nice, forgiving/relaxed/flattering fit all around. TL;DR Order curvy and size UP from your normal waist for a non-clingy fit in the hip, if you have a wider hip to waist ratio. Order your typical size in the straight version if you prefer the legs snug through the hip and thigh.

Very cute color but run small. I'm 5'4", 130 and normally wear a 6 but these were too tight. Also ordered an 8 and it fit in the waist perfect. Nice material and length but the way their cut didn't look that flattering on me. Even though the 8 fit, it almost seems like there is extra material on the inside of the legs and the front (which is not pleated but bulges somewhat). Will be returning both pairs.

These shorts are great for petite frames. At 5’0”, 120-125#s, size 8 curvy fits perfect. The mid rise fits more like a high rise on my petite frame. Soft material, easy wash, will require ironing or steaming for wrinkle free look. If you tried the straight fit and the pockets look pulled open, try the curvy. Excellent product Amazon! Have them in 4 colors!

I started out cautious and ordered one pair. I was prepared to be disappointed as so many clothing items you order online don't work out. BUT, surprise!! They're great. Great fit, great price, didn't shrink yet, comfortable, .... Yay!! I ordered 3 more pairs in diff colors. I got the slim fit as others had said the curvy fit had too big leg openings. I am super pleased with these and have recommended to my sister and others.

On the positive side, the shorts are made of a heavy-duty material, the colors are nice, and the price is fair. Be prepared, however, to go up a size or two. I usually wear size 4 shorts and pants. I also don't consider myself curvy--quite the opposite. Yet, I found myself going with size 8 in a curvy fit. I ordered three colors--khaki, black, and green. The khaki was a little loose. The green pair, although in the same size and style, was tight around the waist. The black pair was perfect. I did look closely at the button placement on each pair of shorts, and found the button on the green pair was sewn farther past the zipper than the other two pairs of shorts--thus, the tight waist band. Fixed the problem myself with a needle and thread, but just be aware that the quality control is a little off and you'll most likely have to size up.
