These shorts are a tumblr era classic. They are so flattering on the butt and are great for more full thighs. They definitely run small I’d recommend these for a size 26 for a snug fit and 25 for a loose fit. I need to buy them in a bigger size, I’ve only worn them once. They are a heavy high quality denim, but they aren’t scratchy. They emulate the great eighties nostalgia American apparel has always strived for. Super sexy totally timeless.
