These are absolutely perfect, I wear them all the time. They are so flattering. They hit a great length where I can wear them comfortably. The quality is great too. Worth the price.

I love the way these look but they are not sit down shorts if that makes sense..I love the wash, I love the way they look and feel, they can be cuffed at the bottom and still be the perfect length, they do wonders for the bottom, and pretty comfortable until I sit lol I’ll keep them because that’s the only issue. They’re definitely a winner! Material quality: 100% cotton and a true rigid denim Size: Size up if you’re curvy! These will form to your shape with wear but run a little small

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.

I love these! They feel like great quality shorts, trendy and timeless at the same time! They did stretch a bit after wearing them a whole day but I kinda like that. I did size up! I’m 5’4, about 140lbs and usually wear a 29 but this time purchased a 30 and it was the right choice for me!

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 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.

The media could not be loaded. I got these shorts because I am wanting longer shorts, am starting to feel like I can’t be wearing mini short shorts anymore. A girl on social media said these were go to, body/booty would be popping etc. that is not the case for me and my body type. These shorts do me no favors. They bunch up in the crotch area and are baggy. Don’t fit my legs well. But really my biggest problem is the crotch area. Aside from my complaints, the quality is great. The jean material is soft and comfortable, not rigid denim. Light weight denim. Has a little bit of stretch. It did fit my waist decently well. I bought size 28 and 29, 28s didn’t fit my body correctly so I didn’t bother trying 29. I usually can wear 27-28, so in my opinion, waist is true to size. Color is a little too light for my preference but if it had fit me I wouldn’t have minded. I’m 5’4, 135 lbs. Most recent measurements: Waist 29 in Hips 33 inch
