Hi Jayme! We’re glad you’re loving the quality of the Samara shorts. Their V-front waistband creates a sleek, contoured look, which can make the waist feel a bit more fitted compared to the hip and leg areas. If you’d like a more relaxed fit, sizing up one size could be a great option for added comfort. If you have any questions or need help finding the perfect fit, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to assist!
