The verdict
Fit
Frame's 'Long Hang' silhouette runs true to size with a relaxed, slightly longer cut on the thigh typical of brand's contemporary shorts. Sizing is consistent across colors.
Quality
Frame delivers reliable denim construction at the mid-tier—clean seams, durable hardware, and a consistent wash. Nothing exceptional, but no shortcuts either.
Is the price fair?
At 198 USD, this is fair mid-range pricing for a basic denim short. You're paying partly for the Frame name and silhouette consistency; the garment itself is solid but not visibly premium.
Best for
Anyone seeking a well-made basic denim short that works with Frame's other pieces or who has already confirmed the brand's fit.
Care
Wash cold, inside-out, with like colors; hang-dry to preserve fit and color.
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.
