Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

These shorts are PERFECT for the summer. I purchased in yellow and went back to order a second pair in light blue. They are so lightweight and comfortable - perfect to throw on for running errands but still feel put together. Must buy!!

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

I love these shorts! They are very lightweight and comfortable for hot summer days. I took a small, and I generally run small/medium. They fit comfortably so I would recommend sizing down if between sizes.
