"From the pictures I was expecting slightly bolder colors, the shorts overall are kind of a muted sage green and the paisley detail doesn't show up all that well. Also, they do pull kind of weird at the crotch (which you can see on the model). And lastly I had trouble with the sizing. The 25 took me a good 5 minutes to get over my hips but then gaped around my waist (for me they hit right at my natural waist). This isn't really a surprising problem for me, but still frusturating - perhaps the zipper could stand to go down a little further."
