Actually fits athletic legs!
Finding a 100% denim short that fits my "dancer butt" and muscular thighs is a whole thing. These *actually* do, in a way that is comfortable and flattering and leaves a little space to walk and sit and such. I normally run between a 26-27 (25.5 / 36 hip), and do have a bit of waist gap in the 26. But honestly these are my new favorite pair of shorts - I have worn them pretty much every day. If you need to wiggle them at first to scooch them up don't worry, they'll relax as they go- three wears later mine were fine. If you're in between sizes, even if you have le booty, go for your smaller end sizing. I haven't tried the super expensive brand which shall not be named, but these do the trick where some of the other mid-price to cheaper brands very much did not.

Love!
Love these shorts. They really are flattering with a slight flair on the legs. I bought a size up and I'm glad I did as they don't have much give. Best shorts I've owned in a long time!

cute but intresting fit
ordered two sizes up from my normal, and glad I did. the shorts fit interestingly. I would say they fit small but also large and here’s why.. so getting them up and over my butt they just made it but yet I have a massive gap once I do have them pulled right up and buttoned up. which fyi they have a button front closure no zipper which I didn’t realize. I do and don’t hope they stretch out because I wouldn’t want the gap over my butt to get any bigger but I wouldn’t mind having a bit more room to get them over my butt

New Go-To
I love these shorts! I'm usually a 30 waist (6 ft, 165 lbs) and I always size up in jean shorts for a not too snug fit. I didn't have to with these shorts! They are a great length for my long legs and hit right below my belly button for a great rise. They're comfy, not super stiff. I bought them in white also! Summer staple for sure.

Best Shorts Ever !
They fit bigger , id recommend sizing down. They flare out slightly at the thighs which is super flattering.

A great basic
I was looking for a high waisted white denim short that was casual but looked nice and had more of a relaxed fit; these were exactly that.

Beauties!
These shorts are comfortable, flattering and cute! My only qualm is that they gape at the waist.
