Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Palm Angels sizing guides describe a loose skatewear cut — your usual waist size gives the baggy look, sizing down is closer. Buyer reports split: some say true to size, others find the legs run long even in a five-point cut. Sizes M–5XL, mid-rise drawstring. Ask the agent for flat waist and outseam.
Buy if
You want a loose, non-stretch, solid-colour polyester short for summer and will have your shopping agent confirm waist, outseam and colourway before shipping. Reports on Palm Angels shorts describe a relaxed skatewear cut that some buyers wear at their usual letter size.
Skip if
You need verified fit or quality for this specific item, want fabric with stretch, or prefer a fitted cut. Also skip if you won't verify the colour, since the title says black while the colour field lists yellow and blue-black.

Buying FAQ
Palm Angels guidance says the cut is deliberately loose, so sizing down tightens the fit while your usual size keeps the baggy look. Since buyer reports disagree on length, flat measurements are the safer basis.
Care guidance for printed Palm Angels pieces is hand washing at low temperature and ironing inside out, which is aimed at keeping the print from fading over time.
The waist is mid-rise with a drawstring closure and no fabric stretch, so fit adjustment comes from the tie rather than give in the material.
The listing describes a thin polyester with a wrinkle-free finish and no fleece lining, which is the construction the brand positions for summer casual wear.
