Women's Carhartt Force® Loose Fit Ripstop Work Short

These are my new favorites! They work hard around the barn, but still look cute enough to go out in public. The cut us flattering, and there are enough pockets for all the stuff i carry around the barn, and they stay remarkably clean after a long day at the barn. As other reviewers have said, the thighs are fitted - this works in my favor as it prevents chafe and the shorts stay in place. However, depending on body type i can see how that could be uncomfortable.

Fit is perfect

These are so oversized it's ridiculous. You can wear a comfortable but loose size 2 in carharrt work pants and these 2's are like an 8 or 10. I get it, I'm old school and want consistency but these shorts run so huge its like I'm swimming in them. Of all places, why doesn't carharrt make women's clothing by measurement? Sounds like a lot of people find these fitting small, which is why I ordered them! Why not go by the actual system of measurements like dudes get to and we'll all actually know what size we need. And apparently, I'll just have to make my own. Decent work shorts for small women do not exist. 3 years' search and still nothing. I wore carharrts as a child when they were "fancy" to us but necessary and incredibly not cool. You've turned to the darkside carharrt. Turned your back on your roots. I get that everyone and their mother are wearing your stuff now, but that leaves us old reliables to drown in the wake of your popularity. Yup. Sounds dramatic. It is. Who can I trust if I can't trust carharrt? Lol Anyway I guess I'll get some thick needles and get to work on your gigantic "size 2"... vanity sizing much? Sucks

Nice quality, but Carhartt still hasn't figured out women's pants. The waist has stretch and forgiveness, but the hips are tight, and I even order a size up from my normal. The focus seems to be on a slim straight fit rather any room for curves.

I love them!
