Long recognized for the quality of their denim, American Eagle has been delivering hits in the form of jean shorts for years. Their Mom Shorts are no exception, with a stretchy, high-rise waistband and just the right amount of grungy, distressed details. 

MUST-KNOW

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"Love these! Great shorts, the Curve fits my body great. I'm probably between sizes, went up to be more comfortable. Only stretched out a little after wearing them all day. The way the legs flare out just a bit is so flattering! I'm going to order these in additional colors."

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
To get the best fit with these jeans shorts, reviewers suggest sizing up: "These are so cute. I’m usually a size 29 in Levi’s pants but I bought a 30 for these and they fit wonderfully and aren’t too short or tight but still fitted at the waist (no love handles, yay!). For reference, I’m about 150 pounds and 5’5 and I bought a size 30. Highly recommend these! Can’t wait to wear them out."
