Fits true to size based on
51 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
Customers generally love these 5" stretch chino shorts for their comfort, lightweight feel, and flattering shorter length. The stretchy fabric and easy movement make them a great pick for warm weather, casual wear, and active days, and a lot of customers keep coming back for more colors. The biggest note is fit consistency: several customers suggested sizing up because the waist can run snug and sizing varies a bit between pairs. A few customers also mentioned wanting more color options and better stock availability, since this style is clearly a favorite.

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.
