    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 ...as well, and sure enough, the XS fit was better. Other than the waist having more give in the S (not overly so, and it cinched in fine with the drawstring without bunching), the additional fabric on the S was a little noticeable in the lower abdomen and lower back area, and the legs were a little wider. It wasn't frumpy/baggy at all though and I wouldn't have been upset getting the S if the XS was sold out...but the associates were right, the XS had a slightly cleaner look to it. I don't mind the material at all, but know that lighter poplin fabrics almost always have a bit of transparency to them, so you will see the pockets and you will want to be sure you're wearing the flesh-colored undies (that being said, I still bought the citron color bc I loved it). I think these are great for walking/light hiking, as a coverup at the beach or wherever, or for general casual wear. Not what I'd wear to the gym, but I'd repurpose them for jogging on vacation if I didn't want to pack extra workout clothes.

    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 ...have since been returned.
