I'm surprised with the negative reviews. These shorts are super cute and comfortable. The jean material is nice-not too thick and the length is good. They are high waisted which i dont mind. Im 5'4, weigh around 155-160, typically wear a medium or 8/10 and purchased size 30.

I got the grayish beige and the color and the white tie are beautiful, but oh my gosh I could barely put them on they were so much smaller than usual. To be honest I find Gap super generous with their sizing, like if they are offering medium and large of something I usually go with the medium even though I weigh 190, but this pair of shorts I bought by my waist size and they were tight tight tight all over. Will probably try the next size up because I love the color so much

I have worn a size 12 from the Gap for years. Jeans, shorts, etc. Ordered these in a 31/12 and they weren't even close to buttoning. Exchanged for a 32/14 and again, they won't button. I am 5'10" and 190 lbs for reference.

Had to get a larger size just for it to fit my butt because it does not stretch and the waist ended up being loose, but I guess that's why they added the drawstring option to tighten it. Love the color, wish it had more stretch.

I see a lot of comments saying that these are not mid rise, but midi means the length of the shorts, not the rise of the shorts. In the description, it says these are high-rise. I do think that these shorts run a little bit small. I am 5'2" and about 135 lbs. The 29 fits nicely. I love them as a mama!

These are most definitely not mid rise but they fit great. In my opinion they run true to size. For reference I have a 30 inch waist, 40 inch hips and got a size 29.

I buy ONLY mid rise and these are NOT! Lol

Agree, not midrise, also runs small. Ordered my typical size and cannot wear them.

I ordered a size 27 and 28 to try out these shorts. The rise measured was 12", a far cry from a mid rise option. Gap: Measurements of the rise of pants and shorts are helpful for customers when deciding what to purchase.
