Summer Shorts Haul
If you watched my stories, you’ll know that over the weekend I tried on pair after pair of shorts for ya’ll. I kept the options to Walmart and Target. They had the best prices. When I polled you, you said you would rather save versus splurge on shorts so, that’s exactly what I showed you. All of the shorts were under $20 with a variety of options like, light and dark wash jean shorts, athletic shorts, bright color shorts and even loungewear shorts.
I tried on 3 pairs of shorts from Walmart. Two of the pairs, I tried on in multiple colors. The cognac and light jean were like jean material but they were very stretchy, comfortable and under $12.
The athletic pair, that I showed in purple but also bought in black, were a bit shorter than I’m comfortable with but a great activewear material with a cool mesh detail at the bottom.
The teal loungewear pair was a soft and cozy material that I could wear all day! This pair was great quality, true to size and came in many colors so, it was hard to choose which pair to buy. I might go back and pick up a few more.
Now, I’m not going to lie. I had more fun trying on the Target shorts than I did the Walmart ones and I’ll tell you why. When I went to Walmart, I was rushed but I saw all of these great short options and I just started grabbing. I wasn’t putting a ton of forward thinking into doing a try on or a post but here we are. When I was looking at Target, the light wash jean shorts, I had been looking at for weeks before I bought. They were sold out for a loooong time so, I had them on an email alert for when they would be back in stock. Its funny because, I ordered their darker twin as an impulse and I ended up liking the dark pair better. I tend to gravitate towards darker wash jeans anyways so that’s really no surprise. When I was buying the others, I thought some fun variety with the pink checkered and blue stripes would be fun for you guys. And you ended up LOVING the blue striped pair!
The jean shorts were probably my favorite. Although, the light wash, distressed jean was what lead me to this post, it was the dark wash with the cuff at the bottom that I really loved. The light pair was tighter at the top than they should have been. I recommend these would be great for someone with a slightly smaller waist. Especially, if you have the trouble of the waistline having a gap in the back, this pair won’t do that. Now, if you’re like me and have slightly bigger thighs and have a hard time with jeans fitting over them, these might not be for you. Granted, I did get these on but it was not without effort. It was weird, both the light and dark jeans said they were exactly the same, “high rise, midi short, smooth and sculpt” but they didn’t feel the same to me. If the dark wash came in light wash e x a c t l y, I would buy them. Overall, great jean shorts for $15.
The pink checkered and blue striped shorts were fun! I love the classic, summer look of them both. The blue pair specifically reminded me of another era. Both of these shorts are the same material, not quite linen but they had the linen structure. They had absolutely no stretch so, I would say size up if you want these, unless you have a boyish figure or are petite.
The loungewear fuchsia pair were terry cloth without pockets. I bought these online and didn’t realize they didn’t have pockets, in my opinion no pockets are a no go, aka deal breaker, even in lounge shorts. They were cute, comfy and fit true to size.
Well, that concludes the shorts review for today. I hope you enjoyed and it helped you find a pair for you! Make sure to check out my LTK for daily finds, deals and great style. If you have any questions, please send me a message!
