My teenage daughter loves these shorts. Shes usually not one for jean shorts but she loves how these look and says they are more comfortable than some of knit or athletic shorts. They fit her perfectly and do look nice on her. I just, as her mother, wish these were a bit longer in length. Shows a LOT of leg and barely covers her rear. She loves it. I get its the style. Im that regard these are indeed the perfect shorts. They will just have a tendency to make mothers cringe.
