Loved this set!

Loved wearing this set - it can go a little pajama-y, but accessorizing or adding a sweater really helped! It was just as comfortable as wearing pjs, which is always a win.

It feels like I’m wearing pjs, but look basically like hot day formal. I bought them I love them so much.

Lounge in style

These shorts are soft, airy, comfortable and go very well with a cotton shirt. Gave me vacation vibes in style. Wore for a lunch at the pier with the matching shirt for a slightly more elevated look

Comfy and Elevated Boxers!

I’ve struggled with the boxer shorts trend because I’ve still found them to look a bit too much like pajamas even when I style them up. Loved the hem on these that made them look a bit more intentional!

Baggy basic

Reading the reviews, I feel like these shorts are getting a bad rap. They are soft, comfortable, and loose fitting. The size small is perfect for the baggy post beach look. And they have pockets. I could probably size down to an XS for something more fitted but I won’t be doing that.

Cute comfy shorts but big.

I know they are oversized but they are really oversized. But looked really cute with the top. And crazy comfy, just the right length. Contemplating keeping the set.
