Great for Lifeguarding
By Stefanie from Jacksonville, FL on 1/1/2021
Fit: TRUE
These shorts were on clearance and true to size! I was wearing some old shorts that were way too short for work as a lifeguard, but these are a huge upgrade. They go up about mid-thigh when I'm sitting, and they look great!

Great fit!
By Whitz from South Carolina on 12/24/2020
Fit: TRUE
These fit very nicely with enough coverage. They feel like a short that you would wear to work out, but that you can swim in, wear to the beach, around the pool, etc. I'm a pear shape, 5'3" 128lbs and bought the Medium. They are a little snug around my hippy spot but fit well in the waist, and overall fit they way I would expect. I like the little zippered back pocket on the waistband. Great short!

too big
By Jennifer Canada from BOERNE, TX on 12/11/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I used the chart to choose a size. I bought a small - I am a size 4, 5''5", 120 lb. These were too big at the waist and gaped at the back

Comfortable! Nice material!
By R from MO on 8/9/2020
Fit: NA
True to size, fits more close [OPENBRK]snug[CLOSEBRK] to the body. Good length, not too long. Covers upper thigh well. More of a thin material, not too thick. They dry fast in the sun. Washed and laid them out to dry, didn’t shrink. I would definitely purchase these shorts again.

Swim wear for only the skinny people
By Jessie from Seattle WA on 7/20/2020
Fit: NA
The shorts I bought were way too small and I ordered XXL large. This company is fat shamming with there sizes. Most other brands of women's clothing a XXL would fit. Will not recommend this brand to anyone.

Great Board Shorts!
By Denise Baumster from Houston, Tx on 7/14/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
These run small order 1 size up. They are a bit tight but just the right amount of tight. They make your butt look good for people who don't have a butt like me LOL! They sit low so no muffin tops with these. Overall I like them. I have not swam in them yet but I'm sure they will be fine.

Run Very Small
By Swim Mom from Outer Banks, NC on 6/30/2020
Fit: NA
Have not tried to wear these to the beach or pool yet b/c they run VERY small. For reference, I am 5’4, 140 lbs. and typically wear a size 8 or Medium. Using the size guide, I ordered these in XL to be safe. They are still quite snug! I’ll need to lose about 10 more pounds before I can wear them in public. Go at least two sizes up [OPENBRK]but maybe 3[CLOSEBRK] when you order.

Run small
By Michelle from Texas on 6/25/2020
Fit: NA
They run small. Wish I kept the return label to exchange for the next size up, for now they just sit in a drawer because I can’t wear them. Otherwise they are great.

Quality swim shorts
By Cella from Amarillo, Tx on 6/21/2020
Fit: NA
I liked these, but after ready reviews that said they ran smaller than expected, I ordered a larger size and unfortunately they were too large. Had to return and reorder.. I wear a 28 waist. I think the medium size is best for me.

Too big.
By Lisa S. from Flagstaff, AZ on 6/8/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I followed the size guide and the model's size, and the item was probably 2 sizes too big. I waited on hold to talk to customer service but after several minutes, was disconnected. So I decided to return rather than exchange because I didn't feel I was going to find a good fit without trying it on first. I also did not want to spend money on multiple returns if the next 2 sizes down did not fit right.
I bought all 3 colors and they were bright (as expected) and the material was nice (thinner than expected but not cheap material). I would have been happy to keep these shorts if they fit well.

Reviews about size misleading
By HEATHER from FL on 6/4/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I normally wear a 4/6. I read so many reviews saying these run small that I ordered a medium instead of the small I would normally order. They were HUGE in a medium. I have no idea why so many reviews say they run small. They were so big that I think a small would be too big! Aside from that, they seemed just ok. I don't know that I liked all the snaps rather than a regular zipper or even pull on option. I returned them and did not try to exchange for a small since there are no free returns on this site and I had to pay to send the mediums back.

Comfortable Board Short
By Navygal from Portland, ME on 5/26/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
Love the material in these board shorts. Material is cool, quick drying. They do run large. Glad I read the reviews before ordering. Ordered a small for my 5'4" 125 lb frame and the fit is loose, a medium would have been huge.

Runs small
By TNB2010 from Georgia on 5/25/2020

I liked the color and texture of these shorts but they run small in size, I would recommend ordering two sizes up from your normal for a comfortable fit.

Great Swim Shorts
By Diane from Hilton Head Island, SC on 5/23/2020
Fit: TRUE
I ordered these in navy. I already had a black pair that I wear all the time to bike to the beach. These are great to slip over bathing suit bottoms, or for running or just to wear. They're very soft and comfortable. You can also wear them as a bathing suit bottom for swimming. They look really cute with the more athletic looking bathing suit tops. They have a very comfortable inner liner. These are by far my favorite swim/board shorts.

Cute, but run a bit small

The shorts are cute and well made. They run a bit small, so I shared them with a friend rather than sending them back. She likes 'em.

Runs on the small side
By cmmacy@msn.com from MN on 5/21/2020
Fit: NA
These are great quick dry material! Great to wear with a swim top or over a swim suit for a little extra coverage. I Great quick dry material. I wear a 6-8 & these fit me perfectly. If I was a straight size 8 I’m sure they would have been too snug.

Love the shorts. Well made, nice material, great looking.
By Joanne from Spring Hill , Florida on 5/7/2020
Fit: NA
What's not so great is that they're too tight to snap closed around belly area. Once I lose about 2 inches of weight in that area they'll be great. Love the material and the style.
