The cut: We reengineered our vintage-y jean shorts for those with an hourglass shape. Complete with the holds-you-in sorcery of our Magic Pockets™ in front, this curvy-fitting, mid-length pair has a narrower waist with a contoured band to prevent gapping, a longer rise (for a rounder booty), a little extra room at the hips and thighs, plus raw hems.
