Pacsun High waisted Mom short review/ American Apparel High Waisted short DUPE

High waisted shirts are on of my all time favorite trends that I hope will never go out of  style. On my body shape, although I am fairly tall, I'm shaped similar to a petite girl so I am much smaller up top then on the bottom. High waisted shorts cinch in really tight at my waist and are super flattering. However, finding good quality high waisted shorts can be a major struggle. #thestruggle (just kidding). But it is quite frustrating when "highwaisted" shorts are at most, mid rise. Then they cinch in awkwardly halfway to your waist on one of my wider parts. Not flattering! They can look cheap and tacky. Trust me, i am all over every single brands' "highwaisted" shorts. My favorite I have found are hands down American Apparel. My not so favorite are the price that comes with them. They retail for $60-$70 but I am telling you they are worth the price. They are super high waisted, thick and the cuffed bottom is super flattering on the legs. But if your not in the mood to splurge on a pay of shorts, which I totally understand, you may want to take a peek into Pacsun. I found the Pacsun mom shorts online and let me tell you, they are SO similar. The denim is thinner and stretchier, which may or may not be a good thing to you. They're super high waisted and cuff in the same way around the legs. I was planning on ordering a white pair of American Apparel shorts but ordered the white Pacsun ones instead. And the fit was great! I couldn't tell a difference at all. Unfortunately they came in a super light wash denim, and not white. Which sucked because these are only around $35 and fit perfectly. I typically wear a size 24 and from my experience with the bullhead brand at Pacsun, the sizing runs small and I ordered a size 1. If your looking for a pair of denim- colored american apparel shorts, definitely check out Pacsun! Xxx Girl with the Pink Bow
