The verdict
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.
Is the price fair?
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.
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.
