perfect jeans shorts!

The sizing was perfect/spot on, the dark blue color was exactly the same, and the length was perfect. Usually shorts these days are on the shorter side but these were right in the middle. Highly recommend

Really like these

i never considered purchasing curvy denim until this purchase and i’m so glad i did! they fit me so much better than the regular fit denim. these shorts are just the right amount of stretch and hit at the right spot on the thigh to be flattering without showing too much. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Amazing! finally a breathable short that isn’t too short. I’m usually a size 2 but since I’m petite and this high waist I ordered a size 0 and turned out a perfect fit. Highly recommend for us curvy but petite girls 🫶🏻

PERFECT CURVY SHORTS!!

a year ago
I own almost all the AE curvy jeans/shorts, so trust me when I say these are amazing! No waist gap, enough room in the legs, and the perfect length! To those saying they’re too tight in the waist and big in the legs, you might be better off with the regular version of these and not the curvy ones! They are also a “relaxed” fit, meaning a bit of looseness in the legs is to be expected! As someone with mucular legs but a smaller waist, these fit my athletic body type perfectly in all the right places. I’m a 00-0 in AE Curvy jeans, so I went with the 00 and they fit great. If between sizes, size down. The Strigid fabrication will loosen up just the right amount, so you want them to feel pretty fitted. If they are tight, but not too uncomfortable, that’s perfect! They relax a bit after a couple wears. AE, these are perfection! Thank you! Please make more!! BRB… I’m off to get these in every colour!!! 🤩😍

Yes, I recommend this product.

nice

i really want to love these. They are a tad smaller in the waist than im used to with AE. i think if i sized up then they might be too large but i cant even try another size because they are all sold out. they are shorter in the back then in the front. which is unfortunate. if they were like the front length then they would be great! im on the fence trying to decide if i want to return them, especailly since they are no longer available.

Keep making curvy and super high waisted options

2 months ago
Finally a pair of shorts that fits and doesn't have holes all over them... Seriously though, why does AE love producing tattered clothing? Great relaxed shorts for everyday. I like that they aren't too short either. Size 2 was way too loose in the waist. 25" waist and ended up with a size 0. The 0 still had gaping in the waist, but a 00 wouldn't have the relaxed fit anymore and wouldn't fit the bum anyways

Not really curvy

8 months ago
I just got these shorts and so far I liked them. The material is nice and seems to be of good quality. The big issue is that it is not curvy enough. The waist is still too big and I sized down from my regular size 8 to a 6.

Nice shorts, darker wash.

8 months ago
From a girl with a big but, thick thighs & a smaller waist. The "curvy" shorts are not the same as the curvy jeans in my opinion. I would typically get a size 10 in curvy jeans at AE and size 12 in regular jeans. With these curvy shorts, I find that my size is the same as in regular jeans (size 12). Unfortunately, there is still a gap at my waist with two curvy shorts that I have gotten. Overall, the shorts fit quite well and are a good length. I would appreciate it if AE stated the inseam length on all shorts.

Yes, I recommend this product.

these are great! AE definitely changed their sizing recently so I’m now one size up from when they first started their curvy line. there is some gaping in the waist but it doesn’t bother me. they’re also NOT “super” high waisted, just normal high waisted which is what i wanted!

Nice that it has length

Nice dark wash without rips and a modest inseam. unfortunately, sizing tips from other reviewers were not accurate for me and i have to return. The waistline is true to size and the thighs are roomy, so order your normal stretchy pant size unless your waist is signifcantly smaller than your hips. If that’s the case, you may actually be able to size down since the shorts already allow for larger hips.

Yes, I recommend this product.
