The verdict
Fit
Pull-on fit in crochet typically runs loose through the waist and hips. The openwork weave means visible undergarments; plan accordingly.
Quality
Crochet construction at this price point is functional but not robust. Openwork can catch and pull; durability is limited compared to solid knits.
Is the price fair?
60 USD is above average for a pull-on crochet short. The open weave justifies the price only if you value the aesthetic over longevity.
Best for
Occasional wear, resort trips, and styled photo moments. Not ideal for frequent wardrobe rotation or active days.
Care
Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; machine washing risks snagging the crochet loops.
What owners report about Joe's Jeans shorts
Coverage of Joe's shorts is thin next to the jeans line, and what exists leans on the same soft stretch denim. Owners describe the fabric as soft and comfortable, and one shorts style is reviewed positively for its comfort and elastic waistband, with shorts priced over a hundred dollars. Durability reports are mostly good — one owner says a pair "holds up to so much wear and tear" — but an editor round-up notes repeat buyers reporting inconsistencies in material stretch and thickness compared to past purchases.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the soft, stretchy denim as comfortable and flattering, and say it keeps its shape after washing.
- Watch out for
- Repeat buyers report fabric inconsistency — the stretch and thickness of the same style can differ from one purchase to the next.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict: one review guide says the brand runs true to size, while another finds the fit slightly generous and suggests ordering a size down.
