Shorts content FOR FREE??? I don't think we deserve it but I did enjoy it! I've tried on a few of these myself and had similar reactions. But the Madewell ones really caught my eye!

Thanks so much Maureen! I’m so new to Madewell but I was really impressed with their denim and short offerings…oh and the shoes!

Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style's avatar

Two things jump out at me. Number one in every photo you look better than the model number two I’m just so inspired by how carefully you pause and consider even with purchases under $100.

Happy belated birthday, Harriet! It was my birthday on Wednesday, too! I’ve had my eyes on the Gap and the Madewell shorts, so this was beyond helpful. x

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the free post! I loved the ones you chose and I’m excited to see how you’ll style them. I’m curious to know if you have tried the Aritzia effortless shorts? I also love wearing the pants during the rest of the year so I just switch to the shorts for summer. I tried the linen version but finally decided to stick with the crepette for comfort (and no wrinkles yay!). Anyway I was just surprised to not see them in your post and I wondered why :)

I’ve never seen them in my size in store otherwise I would have, I’ll let you know if I ever get to try a pair!

Ahh yeah my store never carries anything I saw and liked on their website, I always have to order online. Yes let me know if you do, I personally love them as much as the pants and love that they come up in different lengths too!

Happy birthday!! Love this post, trying to get the curve love dad shorts after trying a friend’s pair and it’s a nightmare 😩😩

Thanks Ruth! It’s crazy how quick they go out of stock but I do find they usually come back, the trick is getting them before they’re gone again 😅

I got them!! They’re great. And this post has had me wearing shorts the last three days in London which I don’t do as a rule because I don’t like my legs but you’ve really inspired me so thank you 🙌

I really need to do a denim shorts try-on when I get back to Sthlm too, so this was a good reminder. Loved seeing them all on you like this, these posts are so helpful! And happy belated birthday
