I got two pairs of these Great shorts. They Fit great, and look great on my legs. I have beefier thighs for my frame so i like shorts that can stretch and still look and lay nice on my thighs without squeezing them. These work that way!!! They are also a perfect length for me to not be frumpy looking. I don’t look good in shorts that come to my knees since I’m short.
My one quibble about these shorts is the dang belt. Although I like the belt, it has issues I have to work with. The belt is actually thread thru a hole in the waistband alongside the elastic band. You still you can pull it out, so one end keeps slipping back inside the the little waistband opening when they’re unbuckled. I have to pry it and push it out with my fingers. The belt also happens to be very long so there is a ton of extra material flapping about that you have to tuck in somewhere, bc even if you tuck it in to the two belt loops (there isn’t loops all the way around-just two) it still flaps about. So you gotta either squeeze the belt end back into the little waistband hole or you have to tuck it into the top of your waistbad….which I often do bc it’s quicker and easier.
You could take the belt out of the shorts, but I do like the look of the belt if I tuck in my shirts and it hides the elastic waistband which I prefer the look of.
So all in all great shorts but the belt/waistband system needs some tweaking to be better in order to get 5 stars. I still wear them and like how they look. My current fix that seems to work faster and easier for bathroom breaks is that I’ve been leaving the belt buckled and just loosening it enough that I can take the shorts down. This keeps the end from slipping back into the waistband hole so I don’t have to pry it out when in a bathroom situation. I just have to tighten the belt back up and tuck the excess belt material somewhere after. Like I said, not perfect.
I wish it was just a normal belt in normal belt loops. Not sure why they went this direction with the manufacturing if these, but I’d buy more if they fix that issue.
