So comfy

These shorts are the perfect length! I got two of them because it was bogo50 and they are so comfortable. I’m between a 0 and 2 and got a 2 for a more loose and relaxed fit. The 0 was a little tight around my thighs. #AEReviewSweepsEntry

Perfect!!

I bought these in 2 colors, I love them so much! I am 6 months postpartum and have a little extra weight in my belly so needed new shorts for this summer. I’m 5’7”, 195 pounds and went with the size 16, and they’re a perfect fit. It’s a slightly longer inseam which I really liked too as a taller person. They’re a nice lightweight denim with good stretch. I feel so confident in these and ready for summer!

Yes, I recommend this product.

cute shorts even for thicker thighs

20 days ago
these shorts literally fit just perfect. i have bigger hips/ butt/ thighs. usually all shorts i cant even get over my thighs and butt and thankfully these fit. i wear a size 4 sometimes in my other AE jeans but theyre true to size. i wouldve got an 8 for an even looser fit but these fit great and i have a little room in my waist still. definitely ride up though!! i can see myself chaffing if i was walking for a long time in these...

for jeans and shorts i always have a hard time ordering stuff im a size 30-31 depending on the fit and material. i got a size 10 and these fit perfect they are a little longer then i expected but i rather them longer than shorter. The rise goes a little above my belly button. These are super comfortable I definitely recommend.
