Definitely fit better than most jean shorts. I have large thighs though and a small waist and they still gapped a lot. Thighs 26" waist 29" hips 41"
Fran denim shorts have a fantastic fit for athletic builds. The first time i wore them before the wash, i was in love. The only problem with these shorts is the fold at the bottom, it does not stay and since there is a fold in the fabric it rolls. I typically don’t get shorts with a fold for this reason, but the cut I wanted was already sold out in my size.
Like the title says I’ve been wearing them practically every day. Very comfortable, great looking fit, wash with no change to size. Go smaller than you may think if you’re new to Fran denim!
My favorite so far. Size 29 I’m 5’5” and 155 right now. I have multiple pairs of Fran denim shorts, and these I’ll be buying all the colors! Please make a medium wash & medium destruction!
I wasn't sure Fran denim was going to make a pant in my size. I'm 5'8 and 200 pounds, powerlifter, I normally wear about a 14 maybe a 16. I bought these Nora jeans in a "33", when I first got them I tried them on and was super bummed they were too tight! I then read other reviews and the website and decided to keep and wear them hoping they would stretch a little bit, and low and behold, they did! They actually fit PERFECTLY now and if I lose any weight I would actually need to size down. These are by far the best fitting jeans I've owned in a REALLY long time. I have a hard time finding jeans that fit my body shape correctly but these are amazing. I was a little put off by the price, as it's pretty darn high for a pair of jeans, but I've had them a while now and so far no fraying or stitching or anything coming loose so I think they're worth it, I'll definitely be buying more Fran denim! Highly recommend.
Most comfortable and flattering shorts I’ve owned!
My life has changed! I have never been able to wear shorts. They always ride up, where too tight in all the wrong places, and I had given up. But now --- Not only am I wearing these shorts everywhere but I've been stopped three times in the last week. Feeling confident and love showing off my legs for the first time in years! Thank you for creating this incredible brand - I am a buyer for life!
Height - 5'9; weight - 180, size 31.
I had been on the fence to purchase these jeans, but after reading reviews and seeing pictures from real customers, I decided to buy…..super happy with my choice.
From the size chart I chose size 27 in the April jean. I have struggled since a little girl to find jeans that would not give me waist gap, but could house my booty. I’m built fairly lean but have always had a butt. Since taking up training, my butt and thighs have significantly increased. These jeans provide the perfect amount of stretch for my butt and thighs. The waist is still a bit too big, but for “bloat days”, it will be fine. I plan to purchase another pair, but in 26. For reference I’m about 5’7”, 27 waist, and 37 1/2 hip.
Definitely worth every penny!
After reading many reviews on sizing I choose Size 28 and they fit great. According to the size chart I would have been Size 29 or 30, but reviewers recommended sizing down which I agree with after having them on. These are a buy again jean. I weigh 150 lbs and 5’4.
Love the longer length. Fit great!
I’m officially off the struggle bus! Finally found shorts that fit my build. I’m 5’3”180lbs perfectly fitting in a 31. I spend my gym time doing CrossFit, weight lifting & boxing.
These jeans look really classy and could easily be dressed up or down. They are incredibly comfortable and were more snug in the waist and roomy in the butt and thigh area. I ordered size 27 based on the measurement chart, but by the end of the day they were too baggy. I think its smart to go down one size from your regular jean size. I am athletic and bigger in the butt and thighs but more lean muscle not bulky like a weight lifter. I am 5'5 127 lbs and my measurements are waist 26.5' and hips 38' for reference. For these measurements I would try size 25 (I am 26 in most regular jeans so I ordered these too big to begin with).
The fit was perfect and they’re incredibly comfortable. I never wear jeans, I can’t stand to wear them but I will be wearing these regularly! The only thing I wish is that they were a little bit longer. I’m 5’9” and they’re not quite as long as I would prefer.
had a friend over that I convinced to try buy a pair of jeans from you while she was here … when they arrived it was the bedst fitted jeans she had ever tried… absolutely a success
Great fit and so comfortable!
I recently began kettlebell workouts in place of lifting, and gained a lot of muscle. My other jeans had already been a squeeze, but are pretty much impossible to wear, now. I hat spending a lot of money on jeans, but gave in and bought these. I'm 5'9", 185lb, and bought the 28". I would prefer the 29", but this just gives me great motivation to lose a bit more body fat. It's practically impossible for me to find normal jeans that fit, and I never buy any pants online. I'm pretty amazed that this pair is high quality AND fits well, on my first try. Great company.
I’ve been training a lot and as a result getting bigger thighs and hips. Not being able to fit into what I used to, I started the hunt for jeans. I’m 5’4 about 170lbs and bought a size 31. I have never been more comfortable in a pair of jeans before!
These shorts are the best…perfect for girls who lift. They fit great all around…no belt needed. I’m 5’4, 138 pounds, muscular build and size 27 fits great. Definitely recommend!
I bought these shorts after hearing that they were half off because they messed up and sewed the front pockets shut. They aren't messed up for me! Love them! They fit true to size if you follow the size chart. Might get some more shorts in a darker wash!
