I was so hesitant to order these shorts because the reviews were all over the place about sizing and I have a thicker waist and slim hips, kind of the opposite of the way these shorts appeared to be made. Finally, when I saw them on an Amazon Daily Deal for a few bucks off, I pulled the trigger. I am 5'5", about 130 pounds, with a straight waist and slim hips. I usually wear a size 5 in juniors jeans and a small in leggings and yoga pants. I decided to go with a size 6 in these shorts after much deliberation. They look exactly the way they do in the photo. I got the light blue ones. The fit is great. I actually may be able to wear size 4 but that may mean that my legs would bulge through the holes and that isn't a good look. The waist fits well with just a bit of room. The shorts are not baggy in the hips as I worried about, They fit perfectly without being overly tight.

I have long legs and the shorts reach above my knee when folded. If I choose to wear them unfolded, they reach my knee. I like them better folded. I am really pleased with these shorts and cannot wait to wear them. I am going to buy a pair of black ones as well and hope they have the same fit.

I am 50 and I gave up on the booty shorts but still like to be edgy. These shorts show some skin but don't look like I am trying to be 16 again. Maybe the holes and such look silly on an older woman but I don't care. I wear destroyed jeans as well and love them. These shorts will be worn a lot this summer. I took off a star only because I have no idea how they will hold up in the wash and also if they will stretch out with wear. I will update when I finally am able to wear them with those details. I will also add a photo. If you're on the fence, I say go for it. These really are cute and a nice change from "Daisy Dukes" or plain bermudas.
