Palm Printed Boxer Short - Stone
The verdict
Fit
Boxer-short silhouette skims the thigh. The print doesn't telegraph fit issues. Sizing is true; no adjustment needed from the plain version.
Quality
James Perse's prints are stable through washing. Stone (a warm beige) won't show fading as quickly as lighter tones. The palm motif is refined, not loud.
Price check
At 325 USD, the premium over the plain boxer short (295 USD) is small—essentially a print surcharge. Fair if you rotate printed pieces; otherwise a white or stone plain short is more economical.
Best for
Women who wear resort or beach wear frequently and want a printed short that reads editorial rather than touristic.
Care
Wash inside out and in cool water to preserve the print; hang to dry to prevent shape loss.

Fit check: James Perse
True to sizeOwners report James Perse's numeric sizing (0=XS up to 5=XXL) runs true to size, with a deliberately relaxed, California-casual cut rather than a slim one.
Reviewers and sizing guides agree the numbered sizing maps predictably to standard sizes and stays consistent across tees, tanks, long sleeves, and sweats — one long-term owner wears the same size 1 across every James Perse product she owns. The caveat owners flag is that the house cut is intentionally roomy: tees and sweats read slightly relaxed at your true size, so people wanting a trim fit sometimes size down, while button-ups and polos can wear looser than the marked size suggests. On the women's side, fitted jersey pieces are the exception — reviewers note the skinny and fitted styles run small, and pants are cut long.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size converted to the number scale (0=XS, 2=M, 3=L); size down only if you want a trim fit in the relaxed tees and sweats, and size up in fitted jersey styles.

James Perse shorts: what reviews say
Reviewers describe the shorts and pants as cut with a relaxed feel — room through the thigh with a slight taper — and a waist that runs true to size. The line's cotton is consistently praised as very soft with clean drape, and multiple reviewers note the pieces don't shrink in the wash. The recurring caveat is durability relative to price: the fabrics are comfortable but reviewers question how long they hold up for the money.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the soft fabric, clean drape, and that the pieces don't shrink when washed.
- Watch out for
- Some reviewers question durability and value, noting the comfortable fabric may not last long for the price.
- Sizing
- Reviewers say the waist is true to size but the brand cuts long, so hems may need rolling or tailoring.
