    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.

    Love this color and the shorts in general. Very comfortable. Seem to run a little big. Debated to exchange for xs.

    Thought the vertical stripe would be flattering, but shorts did not work for my petite frame. Even size XS looked boxy

    Comments about Midday Mid Rise Short

    I love the fabric and colour of these. They hit the boxer short trend look but way better construction. Only reason I didn't give it 5 is when I bend down in them, there's a chance of revealing a bit of bum.
