Love these shorts so much I have them in 3 colors now. I love that they are 100% cotton. I love that they have the matching cotton tanks or long sleeves to mix it up. There is an inside drawstring if they need to be made tighter. They have pockets! I am a size 8 and got a large. If you are between sizes I would say size up (especially if you have a large hip/bum area), otherwise your normal size would work! Please make more colors Gap (would love to see red, chocolate brown, grey, yellow.. just give us all the colors!)
