They are so cute and have a good length! The only downside was that they run a little big so i would recommend getting a size smaller! Still love them!

Nice..

a year ago
I feel this was a impulsive purchase for a pair of black shorts. I can tell they're not fully black and still have the same embroidery pockets that AE just loves putting on shorts. I'd wish they was just normal pockets it would look alot better cleaner but I purchased them anyways. They're bojack but have that white faded whisky brushed look through out them. They fit great look great maybe I'll try replacing the pockets with normal pockets. I feel these will fade as the more you wash them that's just my opinion. Othe than that we've seen purchased most of these shorts in the past three material is just way more stretchy so make sure you get your right size.

Yes, I recommend this product.
