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 ...

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.

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.

Comments about Midday Mid Rise Poplin Short

Omg! I love these shorts. I bought two pairs and wore one pair yesterday to a movement market where the temperature was above 90° and no sweaty marks no discomfort no chafing. They were awesome. Actually may buy some more.
