Very low quality
July 26, 2025Worst shorts I have ever owned. And I bought 4 different colors. They are so thin and poor quality. Every time I put them on, I think, why haven’t I thrown these away yet? What’s ironic is that the previous version of this short, before they started adding stretch and reducing the fabric weight, were the best shorts I’ve ever owned. Why Jcrew, do you keep cheaping out!

Order at least One Size Up
May 11, 2022The quality is great, but they run small. I would recommend ordering at least one size above your normal order.

Runs at least 1” smaller than other J Crew bottoms
April 14, 2022My two pair fit great in the legs and rear. They are certainly at least one inch smaller than advertised in the waist; I own about ten comfortable pair of 32” waist J Crew pants, and the 32” waist on these shorts has me painfully muffin-topping. And I don’t even have very much muffin to top with. Time to relocate the button.

LOVE
April 11, 2022These have become a staple in my wardrobe. Perfect fit and great quality. I have a problem with chino type shorts usually looking saggy in the seat…not the case here! I normally wear a 31 in JCrew pants give or take depending on the fabric. In chino pants it’s a hard 31 but I take a 32 on the shorts. The true fit guide (which I constantly complain about because I find it inaccurate and I’m constantly asked what size did the true fit guide suggest when I have an issue with a fit) tells me I need a 31 which big surprise is wrong. But we are talking about theses amazing shorts. They are comfortable and easy to move around in without looking frumpy. I love this cut so much I ordered 7 more pair a week or two ago!

Great Fit, Lacking Quality
August 12, 2021These have been my go-to shorts for years, they fit well with a good color selection. Though the quality appears to have declined on my most recent purchase. Buttons have come loose after the initial wear and stitch quality isn't what I had come to expect from J. Crew.

Favorite short shorts
July 30, 2021All my others are cutoffs because shorts are always too long but loved these and have been wearing them nonstop!
