Maybe try a couple sizes before deciding

Was a little nervous about these given the mixed reviews on fit/fabric, but found they look and fit quite nicely -- once I tried a couple sizes. Fortunately I live near a store that had them in stock. I'm 5'9, 135lbs, and assumed I needed the small; however the sales associate told me to try an XS ...

Missed the Mark

I wanted to love these shorts, but they just didn't work for me. The fit was off—there was a strange bunching in the crotch area that made them uncomfortable and unflattering. The material felt like an odd cross between running shorts and swim trunks, and overall, the style seemed a bit dated. They ...

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

Comfortable and sits in a comfortable spot on my waist. As an XL girl, I'd love it if these were about 1/2-1" longer.

Flattering and stylish!

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

Accurate fit and style. I'm 5'8 and it's difficult to find shorts that aren't too shorts. The midday short is the right length for daily wear - from running errands to grabbing a quick coffee with a friend.

very comfortable. perfect set for a beach coverup!

These shorts are so comfortable! They kept me cool while walking around a festival on a super hot day, and they didn't ride up.

Inconsistent Sizing

I purchased this shorts in blue stripes in XS. The fit is perfect! I loved them so much, that during the sale I purchased another 4 pairs in different colors. Today I received a pair with green stripes in XS and a pair in bright blue in XS. Both of them are a size larger than the blue stripes color I purchased earlier. I think it's really frustrating when you purchase something online as Final Sale, and the sizing is not consistent among the same item with different colors. Now I will have to go to the store and bag them to accept a return. Not fair to the customers

Disappointed, just want a different size

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

These were way, way too big even though I ordered my normal size for Athleta, but it won't let me exchange them for a smaller size. I get not being able to return them as a final sale, but it's kind of ridiculous that I'm not allowed to exchange them when the smaller size is available.

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

The midday short is a great, lightweight short. I liked the navy so much that I bought the black. I feel they run a little big. I usually wear a small in Athleta, but the xsmall fits nicely. For reference, I am 5'3" and weigh 123 lbs. The xsmall is still roomy and flattering.
