The blue wave-embroidered denim shorts list a high-rise waist and five size rows. Keep three questions on the same page: where the waistband will sit, whether the hip has room, and where the hem will end. The embroidery is another visible detail to confirm, because the chart does not locate it on each size.

Make a three-column comparison

Lay out shorts you own and measure their waistband, hip and total side length using consistent points. The listing gives S as 66 cm waist, 98 cm hip and 35 cm length; L as 74, 106 and 37 cm; XXL as 82, 114 and 39 cm. Each size step adds 4 cm to waist and hip but only 1 cm to total length. If you need more hip room, moving up a row also moves the waist; record both results rather than choosing only from the waist. Ask whether these are finished garment measurements or body recommendations.

Locate the hem before judging coverage

Measure the side length of your reference shorts from the same waistband edge. The source does not state the rise depth, inseam or leg opening. Total length therefore cannot tell you the precise amount of thigh coverage or how the shorts will look seated. A flat front and side photo with a ruler would make the published numbers easier to interpret.

Ask where the wave lands on the exact size

The source names the Great Wave embroidery but does not map its placement or dimensions for S through XXL. Check the actual option images or request a photo of your size, especially if the motif’s position relative to the pocket and hem matters. Denim is named as the material, but its fiber blend and post-wash changes are not documented here.
