The verdict
Fit
Open-weave drape is forgiving and relaxed—a departure from Frame's fitted denim shorts. Dark Navy suits the casual, unstructured aesthetic of the weave.
Quality
USD 228 should ensure even weaving and durable seaming. Navy hides dust better than light colors, easing maintenance.
Is the price fair?
USD 228 is fairly positioned for an open-weave short; the neutral navy tone makes the piece practical for repeated wear.
Best for
Warm-weather dressers wanting a versatile, low-maintenance short that pairs easily with casual and semi-dressy tops.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a delicate machine cycle; air dry to preserve the open-weave texture and prevent shrinkage.
What owners report about Frame shorts
Reviewers split on Frame's denim shorts. Editors who tested several styles praise the denim itself as soft but substantial and the cuts as comfortable and non-restricting. An independent reviewer of the stretch-denim cutoff style had a worse experience: the shorts bagged out badly through a single day of wear, shed loose threads, and had folded hems that would not stay in place after washing. Sizing is reported as inconsistent from style to style, with several reviewers finding them large.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the feel of the denim — soft but sturdy — and cuts that read relaxed without being sloppy.
- Watch out for
- The stretch-denim styles stretch out dramatically during wear, and reviewers report loose threads and cutoff hems that unroll after washing.
- Sizing
- Multiple reviewers found the shorts run large and inconsistent by style — one said going down two sizes gave the right fit, and another found the size guide inaccurate for her measurements.
