These shorts are super freaking cute. A little "stiff" feeling but still a lot of stretch to them. I am about 5'7 and about 130lbs and normally wear 2-5 (depending on the brand of jeans), I ordered a medium and they fit nice, BUT I could have probably ordered a small with how stretchy they are.I was nervous ordering these but so glad I did! They are so cute and fit perfect! Got a lot of compliments on these shorts!Seem to run true to size, being that I am in between a large and x-large. Bought the xl just in case and they fit perfect. They have a slight stretch to them and by that, I mean if I wanted them a bit looser, I could definitely wash, stretch them and let them air dry. Not super short, but I did let the seams out on the sides for a little extra length. I am very pleased with them.I ordered small after reading reviews stating run big... received XS so returned them and ordered small again...received medium...buuut they fit perfectly! And in time for 4th of July! You just never know...5'6 115 lbs and little stretch to them. Super cute!I used Amazon's size to fit and it was spot on . There not denim but some short of stretchy material but look just as pictured a little short . Ordered them on Saturday and got it monday morning!First of all, I ordered a size up as advised in many reviews because they said that they ran small. No. They do not run small, they run just as you would expect in your correct size as the size chart shows. Order your normal short size! I wear a juniors size 3 and ordered a Medium, they were way too loose. So I reordered a small (which is what I would have normally ordered in the first place). If by small, You meant "short" then yes that is very true! Just look at the photo, they are short, "small" shorts just as the photo and description say but they do not run small.Material is very soft, stretchy, they are comfortable shorts! I have yet to wash them but am curious to see how well they wash and how the color stays. I will update if I have any issues :)Otherwise, great shorts that are just as shown!I’ll start by saying these shorts are absolutely adorable. But, they run EXTREMELY SMALL. I’m 6ft 180 and the XXL is a bit snug in the legs and they are SHORT. That being said, they are SUPER cute and I will definitely still wear them for the 4th of July, but I’m glad I sized up.Super cute and perfect for 4th of July celebrations!I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered 1 size larger than my normal size. I was worried they still wouldn’t fit ‘cause I have large glutes and thighs (#fitgirlproblems) but they fit perfectly! And have real front and back pockets. Double plus!They’re really stiff after washing, but have a lot of flex and give and soften up with wearing.
