Most Liked Positive Review

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 ...

Most Liked Negative Review

Comfortable but not flattering!

I found these shorts to be generously sized in the leg, to the extent that they are not flattering. If you are looking for shorts to lounge around, work from home, or garden in - these are perfect as long as you don't mind looking puffy in them. Also, it's worth noting that the cut does not offer an...

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

These are the perfect summer short! Lightweight, and the fit is perfect. I'm 150lbs. 5'9"and float between a size 6 or 8 depending on the item. A size medium fit great with plenty of room to cinch down with the drawstring. The length is also perfect, I'm always hesitant about shorts looking too short on my frame, but these are mom and grandma approved ladies.

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

OBSESSED. I bought these on a whim on sale in two colors and honestly have barely worn other shorts since I got them. They are cute, practical and sooooo comfortable. I would not necessarily run in these, but long walks with the family, errands, etc. they are a go to! I would re-order these in a heartbeat!

These shorts are extremely comfortable! Perfect length and stretchy waist. They run a tad big so if you are between sizes go down.
