These fit great! I bought them for a trip to Africa and wore them on several game drives and walked all over the desert. They breath, fit well, and move with you. I got them in a medium and they were a little loose and I'm so grateful for the sizing (I'm usually a size 4 to 6 in shorts). The high waist makes them look attractive on every body type and they are the perfect length (short enough to be cute, but not so short your butt is hanging out - and they don't ride up as others have mentioned). Excellent value and quality, I have washed them many times and the color has stayed this lovely, rich brown. I highly recommend for someone who is looking for comfy but cute shorts that they can wear in a variety of situations (even hiking)! They are a must have for summer/warm weather traveling. I'm buying them in other colors as we speak.
