Oakley Womens Comber Board-Shorts

 (12 customer reviews)

I am a 11/12 wide hip smaller waist person and I like my shorts and pants etc. to sit right on my hips. I ordered these and they were just a tad to small and I figured I'd get the larger size. Amazon at the time didn't have the 13/14 so I bought else where. I do use these all the time with a nice tankini top and it works so nice. I hate wearing bathing suites to this is a perfect replacement.

I was looking for a turquoise short and not knowing what "Viridian" was thought these would be a good match, based on the image. Turns out these are more green, than turquoise.
A sizing note: I usually wear a size 6 in clothing and ordered a 9/10 in the shorts. These were loose in the hip but had a flattering cut.

I bought these in a size 4, Neo Viridian color. I think they run pretty true to size for this kind of design (normally in shorts I would wear a 0 or 2, but that is a totally different construction from this style). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons. 1: I wish they were an inch shorter. I am very petite, and I think they would just look better on me a little shorter. 2: The drawstring should be a contrasting color. It doesn't look that great being the same color as the shorts. Otherwise, I am very happy with the item. There are two snaps in the "fly" which, when open, make the shorts really easy to pull on. Also, the waist is a very tailored fit. I think they would still be ok for someone less curvy than myself, but be aware they are probably not great for a straight waist girl.
