J Crew Review - Linen Bow Shorts

Just a quick update on the Linen Bow Shorts which arrived today. I had tried these on in the size 4 in store and then decided to go with my normal size 2.


Linen Bow Short (size 4) in Lustrous Blue

And here is the size 2


So I guess technically these fit better but I actually like the 4's better! They were sort of swingy and drapey and looked dressier. I feel like these look like glorified boxers. Perhaps that is also because I am still wearing my top from the gym in these pictures. I still think they are lovely and to be honest I will probably wear them tomorrow in the 90 degree heat but I wish I would have gone with my gut and gotten the 4's. I think most people are saying to size down in these but I think size up if you want something more blousey. For ~$14 I'm not really complaining.

Am hoping for a restock tomorrow so I can snag a few coveted items!

  1. I understand what you mean about the fuller short looking dressier but the smaller size still looks great on you!
