I bought these shorts for my beautiful partner as she would not stop rocking her American Apparel shorts that she’s had since Obama was president. They were done and when I found these shopping on Amazon it made my day! She looks amazing in them, thank you so much!Want to find a pair I can leave the house in. Someone mentioned on the Amazon brand of these that American Apparel had similar pair that aren’t so short. I guess you can’t judge that. These are shorter, to me. Comfy, cute but way too short for public.I really REALLY like these shorts. Love that they're made here in the US (especially since Gideon bought AA in the post Dov years and they don't have the creep factor hanging over their heads anymore), love the athletic styling. They DO loose a star because these aren't the only pair I own, and there's a bit of size variation from color to color (which is super common in fast fashion, but annoying when you're sort of brand loyal and buy something expecting it to fit the same way!)These in medium were a tiny bit smaller than the red in medium in my experience.Fits exactly the way it's supposed to. It's got that fun vintage look. Overall, good basic short.nice quality shorts; felt like what i payed for, maybe even nicer. i wore them for a halloween costume and they suited me perfectly. i am typically a medium in shorts like under armour, nike, etc. so i ordered a medium. these fit, but were a little snug. they were wearable though and not uncomfortable. the shorts fit my friend who borrowed them better. she is typically an x-small, small, not a medium.. anywho, nice shorts, true to the picture. you may want to consider sizing up.these are short but comfy.These are cute and do not shrink. The three stars is because after wearing them they stretch out a lot and the legs are higher on the sides than I like, The seams are not straight cut as the side rise up higher than pictured, not to mention they crawl up and with almost every moment and I am having to pull them down and out as they do not stay in place very well. So they have been designated sleep shorts and sleeping I do not notice them in my crack. Maybe I should have gotten a smaller size but going from the size chart I went with the XL. I am 5'6 and weigh in about 150, give or take either way and have almost no waist line so to speak as my hips and waist are pretty much perpendicular, like a boy my mom always told me as I was growing up. Maybe I am not built right for these shorts in particular. If they bug me too much I am sure one of my peeps will take them off my hands,Fits a bit too snug for me to wear often comfortably. I have another pair of American Apparel shorts just like this in the same size, but for some reason these run pretty snug, they feel like a size small.NiceJust the tiniest bit big, they're probably the equivalent to a size 6Very stylish and comfortable, will definitely be buying moreIf ever you wore American Apparel shorts in the past you would know they are pretty much "booty-shorts". Expect them to fit very snug and basically be right under your bum cheeks. They are great for working out and doing things around the house especially if you're more conservative. Good cotton quality. The end!I bought these for my daughter. Shes usually a small-medium. After reading the reviews I went up a size and bought a Large. They got her perfectly and cover her butt although they are very short! She wears them around the house and they're super comfy. Would buy again for sure! Wish they had bigger sizes.
