True to size. I\'m a size 4 so 27. They fit and look great on, wore them all vacation! Not too high waisted, just enough. Will be purchasing more.

I have two pair of these shorts now; any time I wear them, other girls compliment me on them. They have some stretch/give, but not much. I went up a size, usually wearing a 29 in stretchy type pants, so I ordered a 30 in these shorts. I\'m honestly not sure a 29 would have fit, at least not comfortably. I am 5\'4 and an athletic build. I love the high rise on them, but don\'t love the pockets on the back since my booty is pretty curvy. :)
