Not a fan. I ordered these on sale but sent them back. I was not a fan of the material or the fit. Not flattering at all. (Camel toe!)

Black is perf, empire fits differently

I ordered these shorts in black last year and I’ve been obsessed. I decided to order the empire in the same size 4, but they don’t fit the same. They’re loose in the crotch and way higher waisted (almost come up to my bra). I wanted them in the green too, but not if they don’t fit like the black pair.
I’m 5’2, 135 lbs, hourglass shape with thick thighs

THEY RIDE UP!!!!

Save yourself a return (and fees!). The shorts fit well, feel good, but don't say in place at all during runs, walks, bikes, anything! Other shorts I have from other places don't do this.

Not a fan

Trying this review for the second time since it wasn’t posted the first. I am 5’9” and can wear a size 6 in their tights / Roga shorts, but I have some “fluff” on my athletic upper thighs (ie no thigh gap here) and these looked terrible. The length and fabric consistency managed to perfectly encapsulate every bit of upper inner thigh flab in a bulging pouch of fabric between the crotch and the end of each leg of the shorts. Speaking of the crotch area, it also created a pretty awful cameltoe, probably because the fabric is thin and soft (otherwise a plus) and thus could stand to be adjusted somehow there. I found the waistband and the fabric comfortable but way too many negatives in the balance and they got packed back up immediately.
