Time and Tru Women's High Rise Patch Pocket Denim Shorts, 4" Inseam, Sizes 0-22

I am currently in-between sizes so I sized up. I LOVE these shorts they fit in all the right places and the length is the perfect Mom length with out being too... "Mom Shorts" if you know what I am saying.

These shorts are really cute but unfortunately, I bought both a size 4 and 2 and the 4 feels too loose in waist and the 2 is a little uncomfortable in waist. I think if they had 2% spandex instead of 1%, they'd fit perfect but because there's very little stretch, the 4 is too loose in the waist and the 2 fits but I feel like the waist area would stretch while wearing and end up feeling uncomfortable and too loose after few hours because of high percentage of cotton. I got both light and dark wash and dark denim always seems to fit tighter than lighter wash so I think I could get away with size 2 in lighter wash, but still unsure if I'll keep or not because I'd prefer 2% spandex over 1%. For the price, they're definitely a good buy. I have other brand shorts that have 2% spandex that I love so at least now I know what to look for as far as fabric content when I'm looking to buy shorts. If you're in between sizes like I am, I'd recommend trying both sizes to see what works best for you and which fits better just because there's not a lot of stretch in them. Even if you know your size and prefer a looser fitting pair of shorts, I might go up one size since they have 88% cotton and just 1% of spandex in them which isn't much with such high cotton content.
