Relaxed denim short in Waterside wash
Meet yours. A 100 percent cotton fabric, aka no stretch, gives this pair a bit more weightiness. These rigid shorts need a little breaking in, and then become the most loved piece in your closet. This pair features a mid-rise and a totally laid-back, relaxed fit. We extra-love them with the matching jean jacket. By buying cotton products from J.Crew, you're supporting our investment in Better Cotton's mission to help cotton communities survive and thrive while protecting and restoring the environment. This product is sourced through a system of mass balance and therefore may not contain Better Cotton.

The denim shorts bring a trendy, summer-ready vibe with a great wash and modern color that's perfect for casual outfits. Customers mentioned that the fit can be a bit variable, and many suggested double-checking the fit—some opted for a size down for a more streamlined look, while a few found them a bit short and recommended exploring other size options. The quality and flattering design, especially on athletic legs, stood out with a relaxed yet stylish feel. Overall, the shorts deliver a fresh, quality look that’s ideal for a modern, casual wardrobe.

Leather tag bleeds in the wash
August 15, 2022My teen daughter was excited about these shorts but the brown leather tag bleeds in the wash and has left permanent stains in the garmet.

Adorable
July 30, 2022Love these shorts, but they are short for what I’m used to, and high rise. My daughter was proud of me for wearing them, as high rise is not really my thing.

Really short
July 29, 2022These are great quality. I love the denim. They were just alot shorter than I feel comfortable in. If you like them on the shorter side then you will love them!

Perfect cut of denim shorts
July 29, 2022I bought these shorts in another (now out of stock) wash, and I absolutely love them. They are a great length and wide enough in the leg to be super flattering on athletic legs. I typically wear a size 4 in tops and dresses and a size 6 in shorts/pants. I wear a size 8 in the J. Crew chino shorts. I took a chance and ordered size 28 in these shorts, and they are a tiny bit big out of the wash and stretch out a little bit after a wear or two. Size 27 probably would have fit, although maybe a little tighter than I would like. So I would say they run a little big compared to other, non-denim J. Crew shorts. I don't own any J. Crew jeans, so I can't weigh in on how the sizing compared to other J. Crew denim.

CUTE, but DO NOT run small
July 25, 2022I also read review that said they run small and someone ordered two sizes down. So I ordered 24s, yet I am always a 25 in JCrew. I wanted them to fit like pictured--relaxed. They fit, but they are super tight and cheeky. I'm hoping JCREW will let me change them, but I also ordered them on final sale. They are very cute and I love how they are pictured--color is exact.
