I really like how these have the v-front waist. Like Rachel said, it's not like a huge noticeable "v" up front at all. I like it because I am shorter, and I feel like my front tuck will be a bit easier with that little bit of "v" there 😂. Love the minimal distressing, the fringed legs, and those cute shield back pockets! These are a fantastic pair of shorts, TTS!
