Denim Shorts

nice length, cozy denim, love

They didn't have my size so I'd bought a 27 instead of a 26. That said, it seems way too big and I should have bought a 25 instead. Will have to get it altered, shouldn't be too much trouble. They also tend to be slightly longer than I expected. Other than that, love the colour and overall they're pretty well-made. The contrast of the whiskers wasn't too obvious, which I was afraid they might be.

Great buy however runs a little smaller than expected.

I was very disappointed by these shorts, the cut is not at all the one pictured. I dislike how shorts are often very baggy, and I was looking forward to finally having some "skinny" shorts. Those weren't it. There's about 5cm of space between my thighs and the shorts. I do have skinny legs, but so does the model in the picture, and this doesn't seem to be an issue for her. Moreover, the overall fit is too large. I'm a 25 or 26 in jeans, and I ordered a 26 since the model seemed to have similar measurements to mine, and they are much too wide in the waist. I'm actually certain the 25 would be too big as well, so definitely size down. Since the return cost is basically the same as the price of these shorts, I won't return them, but otherwise, I definitely would.
