Time and Tru Women's High Rise Denim Shorts, 5" Inseam, Sizes 0-20

I'm 5'4" with short legs and I have problems finding denim shorts that are the percent length for me. I'm not comfortable in really short "shorts" but Bermuda length shorts are not a good look for me. I wear between a size 10 and size 12 and decided to size up. They fit perfectly around my waist and the length is about 2" above my knee. These shorts are a good quality denim that washes well without shrinking or losing shape. They are well made and look great. There are even pockets to stash my iPhone and keys. Time and True has the best clothes this summer that have the high end look without the high end price.

I used the "fit predictor" thingy to choose a size. I’m all over the place between brands so I can’t say whether they’re true to size, but if I’d ordered without the recommendation I would’ve ordered a 12 - the fit predictor recommended a 10 so I decided to trust it bc I could always return them, and the 10 fits well! I probably could wear a 12 for a looser fit but I like that these are fitted at the waist and top of the hips/butt but have room in the lower hips and thighs. It’s a flattering look on my body type. Tbf I did ask ChatGPT for jean short recommendations with a picture of myself and it gave me these as one of the options. I’m a kind of dramatically pear-shaped person. On the medium wash product pictures my top half looks like the model in the red shirt and my legs look like the model in the white shirt. So anyway these are very flattering in my opinion for mid-sized pear shaped body types! Sometimes shorts that flare out make me look like I’m wearing a diaper but these work really well. I paid $18 but if they go on sale I’d buy a backup pair in the medium wash and maybe in black too! I also think they’re comfortable but I prefer 100% cotton jeans generally so I’m used to a more rigid feel than stretchy.
