The Bodie Shorts are the kind of denim shorts you’ll be reaching for all summer long! Designed with a relaxed, easy fit and lightweight feel, they are perfect for everything from beach days to everyday errands. The adjustable buckle detail on the back gives them the cutest vintage-inspired touch while also helping create the perfect fit. We love the longer inseam paired with the laid-back silhouette for that effortless, cool-girl look. Throw them on with your favorite tank or oversized tee and you’re ready for summer!

"I’ve had these shorts for about a solid month. They are a go to! I’m wearing 2x a week! I love them so much. One thing I did notice is the zipper doesn’t seem to stay up after a couple days of wearing. That’s annoying. I love the fit and feel… it’s so good!"

Too long in the rise
"I wanted these to work! The style and fabric are so good, and I love the buckle in the back but sadly they are too long in the rise and it’s especially noticeable when sitting down. An inch shorter rise would solve it."
— Faryn S. (3/5)
My summer superstar
"I can’t say enough about the Bodie shorts. They’re super comfortable and get better & softer with every wash! I sized down 1 size like I did with the Bodie jeans & they’re perfect! My go to shorts this summer! Thanks for another winner Carly Jean!"
— Susan L. (5/5)
The BEST vintage feeling short!!
"I LOVEEE the Bodie shorts!!! They’re so much better than I expected!! Definitely size up if you’re unsure. They feel like a perfect 90’s vintage short and I’m so excited to wear them this summer!! They tighten up slightly when sitting down but I’m glad I went with a size large (size 9 in Chrissy’s). They’ll look good once I’m done losing the baby weight too. Truly a short for every season of life!"

Huge Fan
"So I love the comfy chair easy fit! It’s the barrel shorts edition. Huge fan. Love the adjustment in the back. I would like these in a white denim wash please"

*the* shorts of summer
"I am 5'6" with a long torso, waist 27 inches, hips 40 inches. I bought these shorts in XS, and this is an important note when you're considering sizing: I was nervous about these being too tight/small in the hips because I had to seriously shimmy in to put them on. Knowing these are 100% cotton denim, I decided to stick with this size and see if they'd relax with wear. As I've continued to wear them, they have significantly softened and loosened up to the PERFECT custom fit for me. Cute, baggy (but not too baggy) mom shorts that go with everything. Thank you CJLA for these amazing shorts!"
— Katy W. (5/5)
The best
"I’ve been waiting for CJLA to release something like these for a while and wow did they deliver! These are just the best. I’m size 1 in Hollands but a size 0 in Bodie. I was really unsure which size to get in these so I just got both XS & S. I’ll keep both. The S is loose so I’ll pair those with tuck-in tops or for slouchier looks. The XS is more fitted and polished looking. Definitely slimming with the ultra high waist. But still so modest! Couldn’t love these more. I’m 5’8” ~140 lb"
— Tiffany J. (5/5)
Great material
"I really loved the material of these shorts and debated keeping them because I loved so many aspects of them. I ended up returning because they were not flattering on my body type. They flared out at my already wide hips. But I think the style is super cute and would recommend."
— Cari A. (4/5)
Great Mom Shorts
"In a world where cute and modest clothes are harder to come by, these shorts are a welcome change. Long enough to wear to a church picnic but short enough that they don’t feel frumpy."
