"The length of these shorts is perfect for complete a casual summer outfit. Or easy to dress up with a nice top/shoe. The fabric is comfortable especially for denim but still has some structure. I’ve considered ordering another pair bc these are such a good fit !"
"I love these shorts so much! Definitely make sure to wash them before wearing so the dark color doesn't get on your skin or furniture. Great length, very soft."
"I love these. They are extremely stretchy and a great length and so easy to throw on. Maybe not the most 'fashion forward' piece in my closet but I don't care I love them."
"First off, I really like these shorts. I haven't worn denim shorts in at least 20 years but I love the comfort denim fabric so much that I decided to go for it. I ordered my normal size based on my measurements and those of the garment, and my experience with US bottoms, hoping for a slouchy fit, and I could swear that they are a size smaller than I normally wear. So I'm confused by the note recommending that if between sizes to size down. Maybe my pair were mismarked? Anyway I like them anyway. Just glad I didn't go smaller."
"Perfect shorts for my body. Great cut, comfortable waist and soft fabric. These will get lots of use."
"I got these in a mystery box and was very disappointed. These shorts are a nice length and look okay from the front but they are SUPER unflattering in the back. They do nothing for my butt and then the legs like stick was out in the back."
"I had never ordered anything from Universal Standard, and am so glad I did! Being short (5ft 4 inches) and plus-sized is challenging. EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT ABOUT THESE SHORTS. The sizing, the length, the color. Everything. Thank you!"
"I really like these shorts. They are very comfortable and look good. However, the leg hems flip up after they're washed and dried. I don't want to have to iron shorts."
"Comfy enough but the strings are a little awkward and hang down a little too far."
"Perfect length, fit and fabric to dress up or down."
