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.
