The most comfortable shorts ever!

I'm not a short person. I have a hard time finding shorts that fit and look right.
I found these via an Instagram or Facebook ad. I was leery of the company and the fact they were cheap-- but it's legit.

They are the softest, most comfy shorts I ever wore, and they are pretty flattering too.

They look pretty casual but you can dress them up

Definitely check them out.

I hate shorts with a passion. I’m short, average weight, and they always make my legs look stumpy. That being said, I think I’m going to get a couple of pairs of these. You can’t beat the price! I’ll post my review after I get them Chat Icon

I know right?
And even if you don't feel comfortable enough in them to wear them out, they are so so soft and comfy you can wear them around the house as lounge shorts.
You can't lose!

The pleats on the black shorts look odd. I can't imagine that they are flatter with the oddly placed pleats.

How high up the side does that ruching go?

So it starts about an inch from the bottom hem and goes up about an inch- then stops.
Then from the bottom of the pocket it's about another inch down.
So it's not the whole side that is ruched

Perfect - thanks. Sizing seems a little crazy but for $8.00, I'll give them a try.

It is- go by what they say on the size chart- if you are kind of the on the cusp, sizing up gives a drop more length etc.
And again for the price, even if you wear them to sleep or lounge around the house, totally worth it. They are super super soft

I have to admit that I thought the same thing. They remind me of the Lederhosen men wear here and the little flap they have in the front to unbutton to pee.

LOL. I know. But for the price I figured what did I have to lose and the reviews were great.
They really are pretty flattering- and I don't have a shorts body.
They are callled Harem shorts so I'm thinking like a belly dancer/I dream of Genie kind of vibe...

Do the pockets bulge out? I hate shorts too. If they fit good in my waist, then in the legs it feels too tight. Such a nightmare to find the right fit for shorts!

I'll try them on again later and let you know. I don't think they did but I'll confirm when I put them on again

Sorry just got to try them on again today for ya!
They pockets don't bulge out.
It's a super soft, stretchy material so no bulging like on cotton or denim shorts.
There is a little ruching near the pockets too so that hides anything.
Also, the shirt I am wearing is a bit longer so the pockets are kind of covered.
Hope that helps!

I really like the second pair you posted, but of course they are sold out.

Re: The most comfortable shorts ever!

I'm having trouble picking a size. I'm 5'3 and around 150 lbs. Would I get a size L/XL? I'm normally a size 6-8 but with covid I gained so much weight.

what size pants/shorts are you right now, number wise do you think?
I would say anything size 10 or less you can do the S/M

Re: The most comfortable shorts ever!

My question is do your thighs eat them as you walk ? That’s my biggest issue with shorts that are shorter than mid thigh.
I’m gonna grab a pair. Thanks

ETA: got the gray camo

They don't. I have thunder thighs...always have...hence why i can't wear most shorts.
These are a little longer on me and the fabric is soft..iike a lounge short. So it doesn't chafe or rub or ride up.
They probably won't work for everyone, bodies are sonunique, but for the price, even if you don't love them, they make perfect lounge or sleep shorts. Or to wear to the beach over a swimsuit etc

I just ordered a pair in curvy. Maybe try that.

My friend and I ordered a pair each together and even with shipping it was only $21.85!

Re: The most comfortable shorts ever!

They have sizes back in stock and new colors. IDK what size to get. I am normally a 10, but put some weight on. Debating on going large? That is a big range.

I know. I like them to be not too tight in the waist so I got the Large. I'm about a size 10 as well.
They fit well.
