Size: 34
Color: Fade Off
I found these exact shorts at Target, but they were sold out of my size. I hopped on Amazon and there they were! I feel like these run a little smaller than other brands. I usually can wear a size 30 in jeans, but I got the 34 in these shorts and they fit perfectly. I love the weight and the quality. I got the Fade Off and I love the light look. I am in my 50's so I didn't want them to be too short and these are perfect.

Color: Case Closed
Great fit, very flattering. I am curvy with wide hips, large butt and thicker thighs and these shorts fit so well around all the bits. I appreciated that the shorts did not dig into my skin in the thighs while sitting and have a nice stretch to them when bending down or sitting. I ordered them on a prime day sale, but would absolutely order them full price because these are quality, comfortable Jean shorts. Fit: Loose, but not frumpy Comfort: Very comfortable for shorts Length: Good length — especially for moms

Size: 30
Color: Multiple Choice
I purchased these in two different sizes and colors. The darker pair is a SIZE 30 in the color (NEW) MULTIPLE CHOICE, while the lighter pair in a SIZE 29 in the color (NEW) TAKE OFF. For sizing reference, I'm 5'3", currently 145 lbs with measurements about 40"-30"-40" (bust-waist-hip), and I'm wearing size 4-6 in jeans or a medium in bottoms in most brands right now. Another random note but I have a shorter torso with longer legs (proportionally), aka I rarely wear short length in pants and even mid-rise bottoms hit pretty high waisted on me. For the sizing, I would say they’re about the same as their normal 501s, meaning they run a little small, especially if you have larger hips or butt. I comfortably fit into a size 6/28 in most brands of jeans, even in some Levi’s, but I went up 1 and 2 sizes in these. The denim is thicker and stiffer, and since they’re shorts, I’d just rather they be looser than tight. The 29 fit tighter but was still not too tight; I had room in the thighs and some in the waist, but I did find they were a little tighter in the waist than I wanted, especially when sitting. The size 30 was a tad looser than I prefer, but I would rather that than too tight, so I stuck with those; I have quite a bit of room in the waist, so they’re more comfortable to sit in. I have thick thighs from years of soccer and found both sizes pretty forgiving in that area, even with the solid hem on these two colors (I was worried it would be stiff). I can sit without looking like my legs are being cut in half, lol. As for the style, I love the length! They’re just long enough to hide the back of the thighs but not so long they look like men’s shorts or Bermuda style, and they protect the upper inner thigh where most of us tend to chafe. You can roll or cut them if you want them a bit shorter. I do think these make me look a bit like a mom (which I’m not), but that’s OK, haha. Another note is that they sit really high on my waist, but like I mentioned in the beginning, that’s a common problem for me as a torso-lacking girl. The description says it sits below the waist, so I guess they’re supposed to be mid-rise. Who knows? Not me. As for the material, like I mentioned, they are a thick, durable denim with a tiny bit of softness but not a lot of stretch. They’ll eventually loosen and soften after some wearing and washing, but they’ll be stiff for a while, and the button fly doesn’t help, so keep that in mind. I personally wouldn’t wear these out if I knew I would be doing a ton of sitting, but I’d have no problem otherwise. On the bright side, I’m sure these will last years and years of wear, only getting better with age. As far as the colors, they’re both great closet staples. Multiple Choice is a standard medium denim shade, while Take Off is a lighter wash that looks worn in and actually feels a hair softer. They’re both safe choices, depending on what you’re looking for. Overall, I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a longer style of shorts. Just remember that you may want to consider sizing up.

Let me begin by saying that as someone who has been self-conscious about my legs, I have not worn shorts in at least 15 years (I know, ridiculous, but I'm working on that). It's hot as heck here in FL and figured I needed to get some shorts. I ordered various styles and returned them all...except this one. I am 5'3" and weigh 152 lbs. with big hips and big and not so toned thighs. I ordered these in 30, 31, 32. The 32 fit just right. There is no stretch to this heavy fabric and they felt tight at first, but loosened up a little. They are super forgiving in waist and hip areas since they are higher waisted. The opening to the thighs is ample allowing my thunder thighs to move comfortably. I've washed them twice and though I feared they had shrunk a little, they did loosen up. The crotch area is a little odd as it is high (also causing the shorts to ride up in a little in the bum), but nothing uncomfortable. The length is perfect as it hides my insecurities about my thighs. I am considering ordering in a darker wash and hope that they fit the same (if not better than the first pair). I originally thought the button fly was going to be problematic, but it's been easy to use. I am very happy with my shorts! Wish they were a tad less expensive.

The media could not be loaded. wish i bought two sizes up like reviewers mentioned! the waist area fits well (even a bit loose) - BUT the thigh area is a bit too tight and creates these lines in the groin area. i’m 5’4” 157 pounds, my measurements: hip: 41 waist: 32.8. i went to levi’s recently and tried on a bunch of jeans, i was typically a size 31. per the size chart i would be a size 31, i bought a size 32 and it doesn’t fit right. my butt looks nice in it though. hopefully the next size up will be better.

I wear these ALL the time. Such a good purchase. It’s a great value. The thickness is durable and not to heavy in my opinion. It’s so easy to wear at work and for fun. They don’t ride up much only when I’m sitting for long periods of time but easy to pull down. The style is SO cute
