I've been wearing American Eagle shorts for years and love them all! I'm happy with this purchase, they look super cute on and are very comfortable and true to size! I'll be buying more of the same!

These shorts are my new summer favorite. I love the shape and slightly longer inseam. They have the perfect amount of stretch and feel like they were made just for me and my curves! #AEReviewSweepsEntry

The Goldilocks of Shorts... Juuuust Right!
6 years ago
These are the first pair of AE shorts that I've LOVED! I've got some healthy curves which makes my hips/butt area a little bigger than my thighs and waist, and the Tomgirl shorts are PERFECT for me. They're not too snug, not too big, and fit along my waistline like a glove without being too tight on my hips/butt, which is a super common issue for me. The rise is just right, it's at a comfortable height so it covers my rear when I bend over but not an awkward high waist. Length-wise, I love that they're long/modest enough to not show my butt and not too long.

A little tight on the legs
4 years ago
This was weird. I ordered other tomgirl shorts from here and they were fine. These were tight on my thighs and i have absolutely no muscles whatsoever. So if u exercise or have bigger thighs def not for u! My thighs r small so I dont understand why it was tight there. I like the color but sadly these dont fit right. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Emphasis on ‘Tomgirl Fit’
5 years ago
I’m 5’9”, 155lbs, and typically a size 8. These fit super small, flatten my butt, hug my thighs wayyyy too tight, and won’t even button. Definitely for someone who is a slim fit. I gave these a 3 star rating, however, because they are great material and are made really well.

Tighter Than the Lighter Wash
6 years ago
I love these shorts in the light wash. I usually prefer darker washes, so I bought them but one size up due to reviews. However there were still way too small. I am usually a size 8, and would probably need a size 12 or 14. It’s very unfortunate that the wash process should so extremely affect the sizing!

Unhappy.

Fit much smaller than other tomgirls I had ordered and loved in a lighter color. I wear a 0 in all jeans & I would probably have to order a 2 maybe a 4. The jean material felt cheap and thin unlike others and came very wrinkled in packaging. Will be exchanging for a different dark short of possible. American eagle is my go to & they really didn’t uphold their standard on this pair. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Gapping Waist
6 years ago
I order a 00. They are very fitted in the legs and hips, because they stretch that would be manageable. But the waist gaps terribly, not savable with a belt. I know they are low rise but I don't feel they go high enough over my curves. I don't have this problem with low rise jeans, just these shorts. I returned them. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Will be returning, not for squatters
6 years ago
For reference, I wear a size 6 in most fits of American Eagle jeans, but I size up for their shorts to accommodate my legs. These created unfortunate muffin bottoms on my legs while gapping in the waist. If you’re thinner in the legs, the inseam is perfect and the wash is nice, but if you put any resistance on your legs, pick a shorter cut, or more spandex.

Not what was expected.

So I ordered the lighter pair of these Tom girl shorts and read that they ran large. So I ordered a size down (6) and they fit perfect. So great that when I saw these I ordered the same size. Well they came way darker and a different style blue than pictured and I couldn’t even button them. Very frustrated that they are they same style shorts but are sized so differently. For reference I am 5’4 140lbs and am usually a size 8 (29inch waist). And in these shorts I would have needed a 10.

Awkward fit

These have to be the worst pair of shorts I’ve ever purchased from AE. The cut is NOT the same as in the photos advertising. They are cut like high-waist shorts. The tag says “sits low on hip” and they came to my belly button, more than 2” above my hips. A very sore disappointment.

Fit my body weird
5 years ago
These fit me so weirdly! They're tight at the top and bottom but really loose everywhere else so they balloon out at my crotch and booty. Almost looks like I'm wearing a diaper or something, super unflattering. I'm thinking this fit just isn't for me since I ordered two other pairs of shorts that aren't Tomgirl and they're perfect. Also, these seem to fit some girls well based on the reviews. I'm not sure what it is about my body type that makes them weird though... For reference, I'm 5'4", 115lbs, my waist measures 27.5" and around my booty is 36". Perhaps I don't have enough "junk in the trunk" for these?? LOL (I ordered size 2)

Fit is terrible
6 years ago
I usually wear a size 0 in jeans at AE. I ordered these in both a 0 and 2. The 2 fit pretty well in most areas except it gapped majorly in the back. I never have this issue. The 0 was too tight. The material isn't stretchy at all so it wasn't very comfortable. I am not sure if the shorts are running extra small this year but I was disappointed. #AEReviewSweepsEntry
