My sister and I ordered these shorts in the exact same size that we order all of our LL Bean shorts and pants. Neither one of us could fit into these shorts as they do not run true to size whatsoever - they run too small. So, if you plan to order them, consider ordering up a size larger. They are, however, made out of a nice, soft material.
Bean has done it again! I love these shorts. I pulled them out of the package and wore them immediately for a day at the amusement park. They are so comfortable and the perfect length. They fall mid-thigh on me (I'm 5'5") and I can dress them up easily.
I also ordered a pair for my 14 year old daughter. Our school's dress code is that shorts must fall at or below fingertip length. These perfect fit the bill and the price is right, too.
My only thought is...she is no longer is kids sizes, but the smallest size was a 4. She is more like a 0. She will wear the shorts with a belt as they are bit big for her. Why the gap in sizes?
Unfortunately, they did not fit me. They were too large in the waist and rear. They were oddly snug at the thigh when I would take a step or raise a leg.
My waist- 25", hips - 36" and thigh - 21.75".
The material was nice and the quality seemed nice, so I wish they had fit!
