Reviews

Great fit

"I need it in more colors. The bone color is a perfect neutral. True to size and the perfect length. It doesn’t ride up, which is a problem for most shorts for me. I have a curvy built and these shorts fit perfectly and all the right places."

— Aline S. (5/5)

Great shorts

"These shorts feel incredible! I was contemplating between a size 2 or 4 based on other reviews, and went with a 4. I'm 5'7 and weight 136 lbs, lean build with a bigger bum. They fit super well."

— Sydney T. (5/5)

Cute

"I got the shorts on final sale. Thank God they fit at my new smaller size. Waist is a little bit small for me but the shorts have a nice structure just like the pants and they are more A- line than in the photo so that’s good for me. Recommend."

— IYARA G. (5/5)

Perfect shorts

"These shorts fit me perfectly just like the utility straight pant. The fabric is substantial with some stretch and does not wrinkle. I have the ivory and light green. I wish they came in a soft navy or pale pink or orange. I’m 5’4” and 115 lbs. with a straight body. I bought a size 4."

— Carol S. (5/5)

Runs big

"Nice quality but way too big unfortunately"

— Christina L. (3/5)

Soft and comfy

"So comfy! Great all around piece. I originally got these in medium but they stretch, so it ended up feeling like a size bigger. So I purchased a small and they fit perfectly! Size up because the material is very stretchy, similar to Jean-leggings."

— Tristan M. (5/5)

Comfortable and classy

"I love these shorts! The quality gives it a bit of class, but the material is super comfortable. I can comfortably move around no matter what activity."

— Dorothy D. (5/5)

As good as the Utility Pant!

"So awesome, exactly what I wanted, which is a fit and sturdiness just like the Utility Pant. The colour (rosewood) is more "washed" than the rosewood pant, but you can see that in the photos. Really awesome, will be wearing these all summer."

— Roni S. (5/5)

Good

"Could have been a darker black. I compared it to the navy and the black could have been richer but it's a thick comfortable fabric, short but decent and overall splendid quality."

— Jessica R. (4/5)

Easy to wear short

"I have these shorts in black and rosewood. The bone is my favourite. The length is good but the pockets on the back are so big it's not overly flattering. They are a staple short though. Comfy and seem robustly made."

— Charlotte Y. (4/5)
