Q: Do they run small or big?

submitted by Ela - 3 months ago

Q: is this strech denim?

submitted by Maria - 4 months ago
  • A: Hello - We appreciate your interest in this item. A material blend of 80% cotton and 20% recycled cotton usually indicates rigid denim, not stretch denim. Hope this helps. - Kevin

    I sized up by one to get a more relaxed fit and a bit more length. Didn’t want them too short. Glad I did, they fit really comfortably and the length looks great. Nice style overall.

    Way Too Small

    Super cute. I wear an 8 and a size M. I never have issues with Target clothing. I'm 5'5, 140 pounds. However, I tried these on and couldn't even come close to buttoning them. I was so relieved to see all of the other reviews bring up the sizing, as I had immediately started to question myself.

    Cute super short shorts but need to size up one

    Super short! Sized up one size as the sizing is off. The matching jean jacket is a must!

    Super cute

    I didn’t have a problem with the sizing like most of the reviews that I read, however only buy these if you like short shorts, which I do. Very cute

    Ugh. Do better with sizing, Target.

    I really had high hopes for these shorts, but they run very small. And who are we kidding, nobody wants to size up two sizes in any clothing. I return them, but I did want to love them. They are really cute.

    Ran way too small

    They are so cute but I ordered a 6 and they were way too small. I’m 5’5 145 lbs and I couldn’t button them, I would order 2 sizes up.

    Shorts were made for being cute!

    Super cute… couple things to know i wear a size 12, and I had to go to a size 16. In between the size 14 and a size 16 there’s a difference in the l color of denim. The 14 and down seems to be a darker denim, 16 seems to be a lighter denim which I didn’t favor. I still think they’re cute. They could be style with cowboy boots. Any kind of boots definitely see them as like a concert kinda summer night on the town being cute.

    Run very small

    Really cute but run sooooo small. I’m usually a 10 and I feel like I need to size up at least two sizes.
