These shorts should be described as "boyfriend" shorts since most of the comments are talking about how they make their butts look flat.  These are a relaxed fit, sits on the hips (low rise) and are so comfy I really don't care that they are a little baggy in the butt.  One should order a size smaller if they want a tight fit but then the waist band may be too tight. Anyway, I love them. I know my butt is not flat so it doesn't bother me.  I enjoy the comfort to run around and do errands, hang out, do what ever and not feel so confined in a tight fighting short.  I have other shorts that I wear when I want to show off my butt, but these shorts are not made for that.  Amazon should get a better description for them. But for the price I paid (a Today's Deal) I could not pass up Lucky Brand denim for under $20 bucks!
