Yes

Great high waisted fit, and perfect length (not too short and not too long). Got some nice compliments wearing these on a Long Beach vacay.

Went two sizes up for the perfect fit!

These shorts definitely run extremely small and so I ordered two sizes up based on other reviews and that worked for me. I loved the paisley and how they were just the right length but not too tight on the thighs. Loved the prairie chic look paired with the bash sweater!

RTR team review

The perfect festival shirts just need to size way up. Loved the pattern and oversized fit without being too baggy.

Comfy and cute pattern

Great summer shorts! I did feel like they ran a bit big on the waist but still loved them.

Super cute but tight

If you can size up I definitely would. Unfortunately they didn't have the bigger size so I had to squeeze into these things, but super cute.

Might buy!

I haven't found pants that actually fit my body on RTR but now that I have I might buy these! And also the pattern is so cute.

Rides up a bit much

Loved these but didn't wear out: quality Jean material, length was great, waist fit perfect and we're high waisted enough to be flattering and not too thick around the belly. BUT the rise is short so the back seam goes right up like a jean thong! Fit great everywhere else but was too self conscious and fit uncomfortably so didn't wear them out.

A little big

Liked them, didn’t love them. Slightly too big but any smaller and it wouldn’t have felt high waisted.

just wearing it out with my kids

lovely pattern on the shorts. Waist was high and fit perfectly but hip/butt could have been a bit roomier for me. The inseam was a bit too small for a tall girl like me, so it was a bit uncomfortable sitting. Thighs were roomy and comfy.

Almost perfect but too short in the back

I was almost in love with these, the fit was so perfect and beautifully high-waisted. But as I wore them throughout the day they would ride up and reveal the bottom of my bum. So sad! I kept tugging them down all day so I could continue to wear them.

Cute

I really liked the paisley print in for these shorts and I wore them any time I could which unfortunately wasn't that frequently. Considered purchasing but in the end decided to pass.

Great basic with a fun twist

Flattering if you have a bigger waist but smaller hips/thighs. As a size 8, the 4 fit perfect.

Great fit

I loved these shorts. They were quite tight at first, but did loosen with wear. I will say that I would not been able to wear them if they had been any smaller, and I got the size 4, the largest offered. I am typically a size 8/30 in pants, so if you wear a larger size than this, these short probably won’t work.

Cute

Super fun - rented for a casual bachelorette day in nashville and received many compliments. Not too short (good length for a 30yo). RTR is telling me I got a 4 which is nuts bc usually I'm a 10 and they had a bit of a flare so not too tight on my thighs (Im a pear)

Good fit

I wear a 29 in shorts and struggle to find a style that slims my stomach (lower). I found this with The Kooples! I just wish the pattern was more versatile (or not there at all).

Perfect short- Runs small but wear to stretch

These are an amazing find. I love the design they make them special. They really made my backside look great. The waist stretched to fit me. I wore them around the house for a few hours to stretch a bit they were snug but well worth it! I might buy them.

Great staple jean short.

Tight at first but once you wear them they shape to your body. I cuffed the bottom because they were a bit long for my liking. Paisley print is very faint so they are easy to style.

It punches a little when I sat

Looked cute but it pinched down there when I sat. Sizing up would probably not work likely on the waist.

Structured. Very high waste

I have a short torso… although I was expecting, and like to wear, high waisted bottoms these were extra high waisted. The pattern was fun without being too “loud.” Material very structured and thick.

Size up and they'll fit great

I got the 2 instead of my usual 1 and they fit. They're super cute, but be warned that they're pretty short. They only get four stars because they rode up when I walked which made them even shorter, and was a bit uncomfortable.

Inaccurate sizing

I ordered the US 2 and it was way too tiny. I would pay attention to their sizing and not the US size equivalent when ordering. But very cute shorts!

Kind of weird fit, but super cute!

Wasn't sure if it was just my body type, but the waist was a little tight, and the fit around the thighs were a little loose. Really cute shorts though, perfect high waist!
