HEIDI SHORTS IN FADED LEMON DENIM
The verdict
Fit
High-rise Heidi should sit at the waist. Lemon wash may fade unpredictably; the bright tone suits a bold, summery aesthetic.
Quality
Colored washes like lemon are chemically treated; expect fading with each wash. Durability typical for Mavi, though fashion washes are less stable than classic indigo.
Price check
Seventy-eight dollars for a statement wash is fair if color longevity matters less to you than novelty. High-rise fit justifies the cost.
Best for
Adventurous dressers willing to embrace color fade as part of the garment's patina; summer wear paired with whites and neutrals.
Care
Wash separately, inside-out, in cold water once or twice before wearing—excess dye will bleed. Limit sun exposure to slow fading.

Owners of Mavi's Noah twill shorts consistently praise the fit and softness, with repeat buyers calling the quality and fit reliable and noting the shorts hold up through regular washing. One longtime buyer flagged a change in recent years, saying the fabric feels less soft and more synthetic than pairs purchased previously. On the women's relaxed styles like Julia, feedback splits on cut: several reviewers love the comfort and color, but others find the leg noticeably wide and the rise sitting higher than expected.
