So comfortable!
By Amy from Bloomington, IL on 10/25/2020
Fit: NA
I went boating for several days, so I needed something I could wear in the water and also wear to a dockside restaurant for lunch without changing clothes. These were fabulous! The didn’t feel heavy in the water, they dried quickly, they looked good! I love them!

Perfect!
By Rose from Boston, MA on 7/31/2020
Fit: NA
These board shorts are true to size and came with an attached panty. These shorts were also a perfect length for a short person and I felt very comfortable wearing them to my outing.

Board shorts not good fit for me.
By Grams from Spring Branch Texas on 7/30/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
It is really not your fault that I am in between a 12 and 14. These bottoms have really baggy legs that are not long enough for my needs.
I should have returned them because I will never wear these.

Seem to run a tad big.
By Princess from Georgia on 6/9/2020
Fit: NA
Just received my board shorts and I like the material and the design but I’m a true size 10 and they are a bit baggy. The legs are very wide at the bottom and the butt is to wide. I’m going to take them in a bit. I do think I’ll like them once I adjust them some!

Incorrect sizing
By Board shorts from Conyers, GA on 4/16/2020
Fit: NA
These are mislabeled. I ordered a XXL for myself and my 13 year old couldn’t even fit them. They are more like a medium.

Great shorts!
By Blondie from Arizona on 8/4/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
However they shorts are still a wee bit small! I measure out at the XL size and they were just way too small. I kept them and ordered an XXL and they are still a tad right in the thigh especially when wet. I do have large thighs but this is an additional size up from normal. I do like them!

These do not adjust in size like other's have stated
By Jo from Mass on 6/21/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
Please note, these do not run as big as everyone has said. They are basic . If you order a medium if you take a small, that should work. I ordered a large. They are huge on me. Typically I take a size 6. Hope this helps. Can't beat the price !

Typical board short
By AK from Dallas on 6/16/2019
Fit: TOOBIG
Had to send back because they were too big. Typical board short with material that is heavier than the usual Lycra spandex. Went by the size guide but still having trouble getting the fit right. Liked that the leg was longer.

function over style
By Seamstress from Austin, Texas on 6/7/2019
Fit: TRUE
I ordered these to have swim shorts with functional pockets, a comfort/elastic waist, and more coverage of rear and thigh than women's typical swim bottoms. These are good in that regard. The shorts are light weight and plenty roomy. The size 10 has a 26" leg opening, so your thigh will not bind unless you have huge legs. I find it too big and may take it in a little. The pair I was sent had a quality flaw that should have been caught: the inner nylon panty was stitched into the waist band. Instead of the bother of shipping them back, I removed the waistband seam for 2", released the panty fabric, and sewed the waist band back. The shorts are fine now.

Size was an issue
By Michi from Cincinnati, Ohio on 7/27/2018
Fit: TOOSMALL
I was looking for board shorts to take on vacation. I read reviews about the size. I am a size 10. I decided to buy a XL, just to be safe. The hip area was tight. They are not for woman’s hips, if you’re curvy. No give in the material. I returned them.

Love these shorts
By maryedchik from AR on 7/13/2018
Fit: TRUE
These board shorts are a good modest length. They snug up nicely and don't have annoying velcro to deal with. They are very short in the waist to hip area, but with a one piece, it works fine.

Love it! Does NOT run small
By ALR from Philadelphia, PA on 7/3/2018
Fit: TRUE
Love the cut, color, and fabric! Got scared by reviewers who said it runs small, so I ordered up. But then it was too big. Wish I had gotten my normal size. Otherwise, I love these and would order again in a minute!

Glad Imgot a size UP... They’re SLIGHTLY big, but I wear them on my hips, ❤️
By Joy from Orlando on 5/3/2018
Fit: TOOBIG
Bought one size UP... Glad I did. I wear them at my hips, so it’s all good. Seem to be well-made, and I think I’ll enjoy them. I’m 61, soon to be 62,(going on 30!), and I like to cover my thighs with BOARD shotrts. I still wear a “bikini-type” top, and that’s how I feel comfortable! (My top and waist haven’t suffered the effects of gravity as much as my thighs...). So glad I found some that will work for me.

Order Larger
By HP from Colorado on 3/24/2018
Fit: TOOSMALL
These shorts fit ok once you figure out the right size as they run VERY small. I first ordered a medium that was supposed to fit perfectly but were extremely tight and small. The XL fits much better though the waist is a little large, I can fix that. The styling on these shorts is very straight without much room for movement or size variation, so the XL will give me ease of movement. I'm normally a size 8 or juniors 11 in jeans. Fabric has a nice feel. Overall I think they'll work out well, just order a couple sizes up.

Cute shorts run small Order a size up!
By Lizzy from Texas on 7/13/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
I got a size large in these swim shorts. I am 5;3" about 130 - little hippy - can wear sizes from 4 to sometimes 8 (ya know sizes vary so much). I typically get a medium so I have room and will still be able to wear something after it strinks in wash. I ordered the medium first - way too tight!! uncomfortable barely able to get them on. So returned for a large. Large is great! But if I think I could even go to an extra large if I wanted more room - the draw string top allows you to get it snug to your waist so you can get that perfect fit. The material does not give and it is made for straight thin legs - no curve. So if you have to get a size up to get it comfortable around your hips/bottom. If you like things loose go 2 sizes up. They are cute and I have washed and dried mine and they still fit. The wash did not shrink it, but it did slightly.
Overall I really like the shorts, comfortable, cute, great for surfing, boogie boarding or swimming. Looks good with many bikini tops. I got the pink color.

RUN SMALL - Material does not give
By Liz from Texas on 6/21/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
I like the shorts but they have to fit you right. Problem when ordering online. They fit better for folks that are straight not curvy/hippy. They have a straight cut and do not yield.
For sure order a size up!!
THey are cute and I like the material if it fits you. It is good to dry fast.
I ordered some and they were way to small - fit snug - considering getting a larger size but not sure since I am hippy. If I do I will write a review to let you know how a size up worked out.

The size was to big

the product overall was fine, except i purchased an x-small and the waste was still to big and the pull string on it doesn't help at all.

Great short
By Skw from Olalla, WA on 2/8/2017
Fit: TOOBIG
After reading reviews, ordered one size up. ("Feels too big" because we ordered big....)
Fits a tiny bit loose but no complaints-rather that than being too small. Sewed darts in the back to keep them for coming off in the water.
Purchased for my daughter's swim class in high school.
Nice modest length.

Sizing wrong
By Nanci C. from Ogden, UT on 1/19/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
I read all the reviews on these board shorts... so I ordered XXL in the black & turquoise. I'm usually a size 6 or medium. The XXL is way too big. Since I don't have time to send them back, I'm going to alter them myself. I think they'll look better anyway without the white stripe down the sides.

Great Swim Shorts!!
By Kel from Pittsburgh on 8/29/2016
Fit: TRUE
Loved these shorts!!! They are very comfortable & look great. They dry quickly. I am a bit self conscious of my legs and these shorts were a great solution. I am 5'2" and ordered a size Large & they lay just above my knee...which is perfect. I ordered in red which I love but will definitely be ordering more colors for more variety!!!!

Runs Small
By lanette from Utah on 7/27/2016

The fabric is great, but the sizing is very small. I would say 2 sizes smaller than normal size. Sad, because the color is so perfect, but just way too small...

Perfect!
By Kay from San Diego on 5/10/2016
Fit: TRUE
The fit was perfect! The "plum tide" color was so pretty and they didn't fade at all! In the past I have purchased board shorts that faded after the first use! I have owned these for about 2 months. Also, I used them almost everyday on a 9 day vacation. Still as brilliant as the day I got them!

Great look
By PonchosMom from San Jose, Ca on 10/11/2015
Fit: TOOSMALL
I love the way the legs are tapered just a little, and sit just below the belly button. Great fitting except they run small. I wear a L/XL usually, but these I had to send back and order XXL.

Comfortable, but too low-rise
By RASA from SC on 5/15/2015
Fit: TOOSMALL
The fabric is very comfortable and light. The fit is more of a "junior" fit with the low rise. That makes them slightly uncomfortable in the hip and crotch area, but maybe ordering a size up would fix that. They dry quickly. Overall, a great product for the price.
