The verdict
Fit
Wide-leg chino cut; indigo linen suggests natural texture and wrinkle; expect a comfortable, relaxed fit through hip and thigh.
Quality
Chinos are simpler to construct than denim; linen-blend adds durability; sale price suggests standard finishing, not premium.
Is the price fair?
Budget-to-mid at sale price; solid value for a branded chino short in a breathable fabric when discounted.
Best for
Women wanting a casual, breathable short at a reasonable price point for warm-weather basics.
Care
Linen softens and wrinkles; wash cool, air dry, and embrace the natural texture.
What owners report about 7 For All Mankind shorts
Owners describe 7 For All Mankind's denim shorts much like the brand's jeans: soft, substantial stretch denim that feels comfortable from the first wear, and reviewers on DenimBlog rate the brand's quality highly. Fit reports conflict, though — the brand overall is said to run slightly large, yet renters of the pleated short reported it running small far more often than large. Retailer reviews add durability complaints, with some buyers reporting shorts wearing through in the same spot within a year of light use or getting damaged after only a couple of washes.
- Strengths
- Soft, comfortable stretch denim that owners say feels good immediately, with the brand's fabric quality repeatedly praised.
- Watch out for
- Sizing is inconsistent from style to style, and a minority of buyers report shorts wearing through or being damaged within a year or after a few washes.
- Sizing
- Fit reports vary noticeably by style — the brand is often said to run slightly large, but several shorts styles come back as running small — so check the specific style's measurements rather than assuming your usual size.
