TL;DR- yes, these shorts really check all the boxes.
Maybe you're like me & you hate shopping for shorts. I swear every summer, I'm like Goldilocks on the hunt for a pair that fits just right. But it's always something- like they fit weird in the hips, the waist is too tight, or they're just too short. Sound familiar?
LISTEN, I WAS SKEPTICAL, TOO.
I guess you could say I've been burned too many times in the past when it came to denim shorts. So just when I stopped searching, the perfect denim shorts came to me. & Y'all, these do not disappoint.
Without further adieu, let me introduce to you the one pair of shorts you'll be reaching for all summer- the Emmerson High Rise denim shorts from Oliver Logan.


ABOUT THE FIT
So I'm 5'7 & typically about 175 lbs & I usually wear a size 12 for reference. For these shorts, I did size up, like I normally do with Oliver Logan, & ordered a Size 32.
What I love about the fit-
the 11 3/4" high rise fit that comes up to my belly button
a waistband that doesn't dig in
a more structured denim to "hold ya in"
a longer inseam (5.5") that still looks good but saves ya from thigh rub
they don't ride up my ass
they're really comfy & stylish
Additional points to note-
I carry most of my weight in my belly & have smaller legs. If you carry most of your weight in your hips & thighs, these might be a little tight in the hips & leg for you, as they just fit me perfectly- especially when sitting down. You may want to try a couple sizes to find the right fit.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Personally, I like these Oliver Logan shorts better than the Abercrombie Curve Love Dad Shorts I bought last year. While both pairs of shorts are comfortable, I find that the fit is more flattering for my body type with the Emmerson High Rise shorts.
10/10. The hunt for the denim shorts is over. Catch me rocking these all summer long.
