The verdict
Fit
Same tailored cut as the black version with a stripe print. Faherty's pleated shorts fit taut through the hip; expect a more fitted silhouette than relaxed styles.
Quality
Linen quality is consistent with Faherty's line. Striped linen holds color well. Pleats will soften naturally with wear.
Is the price fair?
At $94, consistent with the black version. Pattern adds visual interest without increasing cost, so good value for the tailored detail and print.
Best for
Women who want a patterned tailored short for warm-weather occasions.
Care
Machine wash cold to preserve stripe clarity and protect the linen.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

Owners place the range between jeans and dress chinos in formality — casual enough for weekends but presentable at an office. The recurring complaints in third-party coverage are the premium prices and cuts some owners find roomy or boxy enough to need tailoring.
