Oh yay!! I’m glad it worked out! I’m sure they look great! I’m not sure about leg openings as I have abnormally small legs for my hip ratio so I always end up with shorts or jeans being too loose in the thigh area so I don’t know. If you love how they look then that’s what counts!!

After thinking … and thinking … considering your review and the reviews at all the US retailers I decided to order the Jimmys in 30
Today the shorts arrived and fit great and not tight except when I roll them up two times then the leg opening is a little narrow. Maybe they stretch out a little? But I like them down or one time rolled up and they are as comfortable as you said. Thanks for your review, Lorna, and your advice I am very happy with my new shorts

Thank you
Oh, that is an interesting detail about Shopbop, paying customs up in front – that’s really convenient.

I bought them based on how they looked on Shopbop which was lighter, then on Revolve they looked a bit darker but how they actually look is like my photos, a bit darker. They do look different on every website because each site adjusts the photos with lighting and everything. It is crazy I know! Good luck if you buy them I like Shopbop because you get to pay the customs up front!

You are right, it’s almost impossible to discuss sizes and fitting on someone elses body – especially if you haven’t seen it
I live in Cologne, Germany and I want to order at shopbop. It wouldn’t be the first time I order in the USA but I have never had to do a return overseas.
At the moment I am highly irritated because the Tiger Lily wash looks quite different on different pictures. I do like your picture and the ones at shopbop/paige but at some of the pictures shown at Nordstrom and Piperlime the wash looks much more extrem. Comparing all of them to me they seem to be completely different washes?? I will reconsider … thanks for your advice, Lorna. I will let you know when I have got my shorts.
p.s. But this wash differences at the pictures are really strange, aren’t they?

Maybe you might want to take a 31 then? Since I do vary between a 27 and 28, a 26 worked out for me but if I was definitely a size 28, maybe I would have taken a 27. It’s tough to say when it’s someone elses body. Is there any way you can try these on somewhere? Or order both sizes and return one? I am not sure where you live and where you are buying from so I don’t know about the returning issue for you.

Yes, I think am absolutely a 32.
I just put on my two 7s (normal low rise jeans no leggings and I do not own 7s smaller than this) to check that and they fit perfect – tight as they meant to be but in a comfortable and casual way.
My 31 Citizens of Humanity give me a muffin top and squeeze my thighs a little

I’m not smaller than I was really, I’m about the same size. I am between a 27 and 28 in Paige jeans, it depends on the cut or wash, just like I am with 7s. I took a 26 because that to me is about 1.5 sizes smaller than my regular size. Mine do still fit a bit loose actually. Are you absolutely a 32 or do you fit between a 31 and 32? How do your 32′s fit you?

I would like to have them flattering & fitted like your shorts are for you- Not baggy at all but also no sausage style – perfect!! Similar to the fit my 7s do have. Because of your comment on the shopbop-web page I am a little confused … there you say: 2 sizes smaller as usual (26?). In your other reviews you are between 27 to 28 but it seems you are slimmer now ?
Ok, I just wait for your recommdation (I am very excited because the shorts are on sale now and I am searching for a comfortable and good looking shorts for such a long time … and they are on sale now!)
