I made a quick return to J Crew last week and saw the Zigzag Stripe Shorts. They immediately reminded me of the Riviera Short from a Summer or two ago and were priced crazy ridiculous at $150!
I brought home a size 8, my normal shorts size. The waist is a touch loose but fit exactly around my hips and booty. The inseam is 3 inches but I do wish they were an inch or two longer.
The pocket has contrasting stripes. I like this so you can tell where they are. They are not on-seam which I like because they don’t add bulk to the hips.
These seams match perfectly in the back which is a plus.
I had only planned on buying one pair of shorts for the Summer and unless something cuter than these comes along I think I’ve found my pair. They will be great with the White and Blue items in my closet but I may also try a bright Yellow or pale Pink.
Have a Great Day!
The shorts are gorgeous! I wasn't going to buy any more 3" shorts (I'm loving the boyfriend chino shorts (length/rolled style)), but the zig zag shorts are striking enough I can't resist! (I love blue!) Thanks for the review! They look so much better on you than the website. Alot of times, the shorts modeled on JCrew look like stiff cutouts hanging on the models.
JustVisiting – I said the same thing but these are great! I have all the basic colors of the Bermudas as they are my preferred shorts to wear.
Very cute. I love the stripe pattern, but I'm with you, an inch or two would be more comfortable to wear.
Thanks maryeb!
Why can't they give us an inch? It would make it so much more comfortable. It's awesome that the stripes match up. I love the blues on you. Great warm weather gear 🙂
I am so ready for warm weather. I am a Sun Girl all the way!
I liked those a lot too( i reviewed them too) and like everybody else i wish they would be 5".
Ina – Maybe they'll bring them to the Factory in a longer length next year?
