The verdict
Fit
Sits on the shorter, closer-cut side typical of the brand's denim shorts; expect true-to-size through the hip.
Quality
Denim is Diesel's core strength, so construction and stitching should be solid; the worn-in wash means the finish is baked in rather than earned through wear.
Is the price fair?
At $175 this is premium for denim shorts — fair if you value the brand's denim expertise, steep if you just want a basic pair.
Best for
Someone who wants a pre-worn denim short from a brand built on denim.
Care
Wash cold, inside out, and sparingly to preserve the worn-in wash.
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
