These are a tad short for my taste, but they fit so well! Highly recommend.I usually wear a medium or size 8 in shorts. The mediums were too small and the large cost twice as much as the small. Go figure. I had to return them.great shorts, I like that they are a little longer then most. This short are great for working out or just wearing to the beach. They do run a little small so remember that when your decide what size your going to getWaist too big.Weren't flattering on me and wasn't crazy about the fit.I previously bought some Nike capris in XS so "upsized" to the S thinking it would be okay; but with these shorts the inner underwear mesh layer was very tight on my thighs and the waist band is tight and very chunky. There is also not much "give" on these shorts. On the nice side, the fabric is very nice, floaty and the shorts have a feminine cut. I suggest upsize, like the other reviewers.
