Best Vacation/Summer shorts, EVER!I purchased the Oahu Hi Rise 4" Short in Royal Blue to take to Anguilla a few weeks ago and I also took them to Sarasota this past week. The temps in both places ranged from 85-90+, with what felt like an equal amount of humidity. These shorts were amazingly comfortable! They are way cooler than expected, and did not lose their shape at all, despite wearing them all day, first at the race course (rowing), then later at the beach. The color is super vibrant and really lovely. I typically wear a M in Athleta so I ordered both an 8 and a 10 and kept the 10. 5'5", 145#, 51 years old. Well done, Carve Designs!

Perfect for pear shapeI have originally ordered a regular 4” Oahu short and while the size was right, the waist was gaping at the back. I’ve returned and ordered the high-rise version, which worked out well! I am pear shaped with a 41” hip and 29” waist, 150 lbs. The size 8 is perfect. I’ve got the yellow. It goes well with the yellow/white/black striped shirt. It looks as pictured! I also have to mention that Carve Designs’ customer service is top notch!! They waived the return fee and sent me the new shorts in a day (I’m close to their warehouse, still it was amazing)! Now, I know exactly which style fits me best!

I like them but do they like me?These shorts are soooo cute, but they made me feel bad about my body. I have curves. I have hips. These shorts are clearly made for women that don't. I normally wear a size 6 in shorts. I had to go up to a size 10 before these even started to feel comfortable. I wish they made a version for curvy women that nips in at the waist but has more room in the hips. Maybe a version with a little stretch to it. The colors are beautiful.

I really like the hi rise!!This was my first pair of hi rise Oahu shorts. I had to replace some of my shorts from last year due to losing weight. So I decided to try to these. I don’t mind the low rise, however these make me feel more supported in my mid section. Looks a little nicer too with a more fitted shirt.

Unexpectedly ComfortableI don't normally like high rise but these shorts are very comfortable and don't pinch my middle when I bend over. I usually wear a size 4 but sized up to a 6 per other reviews and Carve suggestion. They fit great and the color is beautiful.

First pair of hi riseI have been wearing the original Oahu shorts for years and truly love them. This is my first pair of hi rise. It could just be my body, but these shorts ride up uncomfortably on me. I am constantly tugging on them.

Like the color, but…Unfortunately, the high rise shorts do not work for me. I have a short torso and they just don’t hit right for me. The regular Oahu shorts fit much better. I like the color though. They will be going back.
