Feels Like Designer Quality - I’m obsessed with anything desertcart Essentials, and these shorts did not disappoint! The quality is amazing — they honestly feel like something I’d get from GAP or J.Crew. The length is perfect — not too short, not too long — just that ideal fit that looks polished but still comfortable. Perfect fit, great material, and super flattering. Such a steal for the price! Review: Comfortable Shorts but Fit Runs Small - These shorts feel light and comfy for summer, and the fabric is soft with a nice stretch. The mid-rise cut looks flattering and works well for casual wear. Only issue is the sizing runs a bit tight, so going up one size might be better. Overall good everyday shorts if you want something simple and affordable.

Nice fitting shorts, flattering.
Great shorts. I did return the size that Amazon suggested because the shorts were too large. Instead of a 16 , I reordered a 14 straight . So, check out the size chart carefully. They are comfortable, color is great( black) They ride well around my hips . I now own 3 pairs and intend to buy more. Also, the price point is a great value on these shorts.

Consider sizing up one size
Very cute color but run small. I'm 5'4", 130 and normally wear a 6 but these were too tight. Also ordered an 8 and it fit in the waist perfect. Nice material and length but the way their cut didn't look that flattering on me. Even though the 8 fit, it almost seems like there is extra material on the inside of the legs and the front (which is not pleated but bulges somewhat). Will be returning both pairs.

Curvy vs. Straight
Reading the item desciptions I wasn't really sure what the actual difference would be between the curvy and straight cuts, and there didn't seem to be a size chart. I ended up ordering both so I could try them side by side. I'm pretty hippy/curvy, so I typically end up sizing up in shorts to keep them from clinging around my thighs. STRAIGHT: The straight fits typical to size. As usual, I found that the 12 straight fit in my waist, but was snug around my thighs. It fit, but I prefer the legs not to be snug. Meanwhile, the 14 straight was more forgiving in the thigh but gaped a lot in the waist to the point of not being wearable without alterations. CURVY: This fit as I would typically expect in the thigh and had a SMALLER than normal waist for the size number. The 14 curvy fit like the normal/straight 14 in the thigh but fit like the 12 normal/straight in the waist, giving my a nice, forgiving/relaxed/flattering fit all around. TL;DR Order curvy and size UP from your normal waist for a non-clingy fit in the hip, if you have a wider hip to waist ratio. Order your typical size in the straight version if you prefer the legs snug through the hip and thigh.

Good material and value but sized smaller than other brands plus poor quality control
On the positive side, the shorts are made of a heavy-duty material, the colors are nice, and the price is fair. Be prepared, however, to go up a size or two. I usually wear size 4 shorts and pants. I also don't consider myself curvy--quite the opposite. Yet, I found myself going with size 8 in a curvy fit. I ordered three colors--khaki, black, and green. The khaki was a little loose. The green pair, although in the same size and style, was tight around the waist. The black pair was perfect. I did look closely at the button placement on each pair of shorts, and found the button on the green pair was sewn farther past the zipper than the other two pairs of shorts--thus, the tight waist band. Fixed the problem myself with a needle and thread, but just be aware that the quality control is a little off and you'll most likely have to size up.

Tolle Shorts was Material, Schnitt und Länge betrifft: eher festeres Material, sitzen in der Variante "gerader" Schnitt perfekt, aber nicht zu eng am Oberschenkel und Länge ist nicht zu kurz bzw. können auch nochmals umgeschlagen werden, wenn man es knapper mag. Wirklich sehr gute Qualität für den Preis! Einzig die Größe ist nicht ganz einfach: entgegen anderen Rezensionen fand ich sie eher eng geschnitten und würde - wenn man zwischen zwei Größen steht - eher die größere wählen.

El color es bonito (verde olivo), la tela se siente bien y se ajusta bien la talla.

Me gusto bastante la tela, la talla me vino muy bien de acuerdo a las recomendaciones, lo único es que se me hizo un poco largo, me queda como 10 dedos arriba de la rodilla, pero la verdad entalla muy bien
