I purchased these on a whim, but they are probably the best fitting shorts ive gotten from fashion nova! Im 165 lbs 5”1 tall but i have a lot of butt and thighs so the large fit perfect! If you are more bottom heavy i suggest u go a size up because the waist almost didnt make it past my thighs even after unlacing them. They cup my butt perfectly without any cheeks hanging out.
