The verdict

A blue-and-white striped knit short at 188 USD; casual, soft, and rigid (limited stretch) as priced.

Fit

Knit and woven blend in stripe pattern with minimal stretch (tagged as rigid). Expect a structured feel without much recovery. Mid-rise, relaxed through the hip. May fit snug if you prefer ease of movement.

Quality

MOTHER's non-denim shorts are solid in construction. The rigid stretch rating means this piece is more structured than typical knit shorts—durability is standard.

Price check

At 188 USD for a mixed-knit striped short, pricing is fair. The rigidity may be a fit factor; try before committing if stretch is important to you.

Best for

Shoppers who like striped prints and don't mind structured shorts with minimal stretch.

Care

Striped knit shorts can have color bleeding between stripes; wash cool and separately on first wear.

Fit check: MOTHER

True to size

MOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.

Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.

What owners report about MOTHER shorts

Try-on reviewers describe MOTHER's denim shorts as lightweight and stretchy — "insanely comfy" — with a comfortable feel straight out of the box. One reviewer who wore a pair hard through a full summer says they held up and rates the shorts even better than the brand's jeans. Complaints are style-specific: inseams run short for taller wearers, wash colours can look different (less blue) in person than in online photos, and one high-waisted cut with added side paneling struck a reviewer as unflattering.

Strengths: Soft stretch denim that reviewers find immediately comfortable and durable through a summer of heavy wear.
Watch out for: Short inseams and cut-dependent fit — reviewers flag lengths "right on the edge of being too short" and washes that arrive less blue than pictured.
Sizing: Fit varies by cut — one try-on reviewer took her usual size while another went one size up — so check per-style measurements, especially inseam length.
