I know a lot of us are on the hunt for pre-Fall deals right now; however, we still have a solid two months of shorts days left (at least in New Jersey)! I’m all about snagging Fall things right now if it makes sense (hello, Nordstrom Sale – my selections here), and I’m the first person to jump into a cozy summer sweater. But, I wanted to share the perfect short that will get you through this final chapter of warmer weather! Before I dive in, I have a confession to make. This is the first pair of shorts I’ve purchased since 2018. I just could never find a pair that had the rise, length and cut that worked for me, but from a functionality and a fit perspective. But, I finally found a comfortable, cute and easy pair of shorts!
To preface, these shorts only go up to an xx-large and come in solid, striped and chambray. However, I’m wearing the x-large and found that they run a little generously overall. I’d say if you’re in-between sizes, it’s safe to size down here. Or, if you’re a 1x, the xxl should work! The reviews also confirm my assessment that they run a little big. When I saw the shorts, they had a lot of redeeming qualities right off the bat: an elastic waistband, a good length, and slim pockets (it’s the worst when fabric lined pockets makes things bulky). When I tried them on, they fit like an absolute dream.
The elastic waistband is actually pretty chic, not an oshkosh-b’gosh vibe, and sits comfortably between the waist and hips. The rise was high enough that I felt confident in them, and the length was long enough that I didn’t have to worry about chafing or bunching. The legs are not tight at all, they even give the appearance of being a little a-line, which I loved! I can throw these shorts on and feel current and comfortable, which felt impossible in a pair of shorts until now. I love them so much, I ordered the chambray style to wear right into early Fall. If you’re curvy, struggle with shorts, and these come in your size, give them a shot! You might just fall head over heels like I did.
I love to style mine with t-shirts, crisp button-ups, and tank tops. On chilly nights, they look really cute with a sweater or denim jacket, too. The striped and olive colorways are also on sale right now!

I have them in 3 colors and am obsessed. I’m a little short waisted so sometimes I’ll roll the waist band but depends on the day. I’m an XXL and they fit perfectly for my body type.
Love these shorts! The blue and white striped chambray is such a fresh looking fabric which looks great and sounds so comfy. Indeed seems like the perfect pair of shorts!
