Relaxed Shorts
The verdict
Fit
Relaxed fit is forgiving through the hip and thigh. Hudson's relaxed line runs true to size with minimal taper through the leg.
Quality
At $78, construction is competent for casual wear. Seams and fabric hold up fine for regular use, though not premium-grade detail.
Price check
At $78 on sale, good value for a branded relaxed short. Full price would lean more toward brand positioning than build quality.
Best for
Budget-conscious shoppers seeking a recognizable name in a comfortable, no-fuss relaxed fit.
Care
Standard denim care; the relaxed cut tolerates regular washing without issues.

What owners report about Hudson Jeans shorts
Reviewers describe the brand's denim as notably soft and stretchy, and the shorts follow that pattern — the Amelia mid-rise is described as a fitted, near-knee-length cut in the same stretch denim as the jeans. Aggregate owner sentiment runs positive (a denim community site averages 4.46/5 across 142 reviews), with fit and comfort the most repeated praise. Complaint reviews, though, report inconsistency between pairs — some stretchy and fitted, others stiff — plus holes developing with wear and a customer-service team that often does not respond to defect claims.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise soft, comfortable stretch denim that holds its shape.
- Watch out for
- Complaint reviews report pair-to-pair inconsistency in fabric and fit, holes developing (including at the back pocket), and unresponsive customer service when items fail.
- Sizing
- Most cuts are reported true to size, though the brand itself advises sizing up in some of the women's skinny cuts and owners note lengths run long.
