The verdict
Fit
Likely a fitted-to-relaxed denim short; distressing can vary in placement so check photos for rise and hem length.
Quality
Destroyed/distressed denim is typical of Diesel's core women's line — durability is secondary to the worn-in aesthetic.
Is the price fair?
At $97, this is a fair mid-tier price for branded distressed denim shorts.
Best for
Someone wanting a casual, pre-worn-look denim short for everyday wear.
Care
Wash inside out and sparingly to avoid worsening the frayed edges.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to the hand-finished washes and hardware details -- engraved rivets, embossed leather patches, metal logo trims -- as the line's most distinctive strength.
- Watch out for
- Trustpilot reviewers report seams coming apart on the shorts and general material failure with normal wear, despite the premium price point.
- Sizing
