Need more info on all the fits we offer? Check out the guide below for a breakdown!
Curvy Shorts
The Fit:
Designed for curves and made for you, Curvy shorts offer more room through the hip and thigh to eliminate waistband gapping.
The Options:
Curvy shorts come in styles like high-waisted short shorts and Mom shorts so you can look and feel amazing (without having to size up!), no matter what direction your outfit takes. Plus, try them in fabrics that move with you, like Ne(x)t Level Stretch and Super Stretch, so you never have to worry about your shorts bagging out or losing shape.
Short Shorts
The Fit:
Who wears short shorts? Whoever wants to, of course! Short shorts are for everyone and are exactly what they sound like: short!
The Options:
Short shorts come in different rises, from low to suuuper high, to pair with your fave tops – try high-waisted with a crop top or a lower rise with a tucked-in tee. They also come in fabrics like denim, khaki, and linen, and in washes from ultra-light to super dark.
Mom Shorts
The Fit:
Sometimes mom does know best, and these shorts are proof. Mom shorts are high-waisted with a relaxed fit, and serve up serious throwback style.
The Options:
Try Mom shorts in classic, Curvy, or highest waist styles to find the fit you’re looking for, with all the vintage-inspired attitude you want.
’90s Boyfriend Shorts
The Fit:
Made with a high-waisted, slouchy fit, ’90s Boyfriend shorts combine a laid-back vibe with classic ’90s style.
The Options:
Think old-school washes, destruction in all the right places, and frayed hems. And as a bonus, they come in both midi and Bermuda lengths.
Midi Shorts
The Fit:
Midi shorts are right between short shorts and Bermudas, making them the “Goldilocks” of shorts in terms of length.
The Options:
Midi shorts come in classic, ’90s Boyfriend, and Tomgirl styles for a few different takes on this “just-right” style, plus in tons of denim washes from light and distressed to tried-and-true black.
Bermuda Shorts
The Fit:
If more is more to you, Bermuda shorts are where it’s at. They offer the MOST coverage.
The Options:
Bermudas come in fits like ’90s Boyfriend and super-high waisted. And if you want a longer length, but aren’t feeling like denim or khaki, bike shorts keep you on trend with buttery soft fabrics and bold prints.
