I liked these shorts so much that I immediately ordered a second pair. I was looking for something that I could wear for chores but is nice enough for work on days that I'm outside. I have a short waist and they are not too high without being the hip hugger cut that doesn't stay up. I also like the mid thigh length. They're made out of durable fabric with just a bit of stretch and they are a roomy cut but not so large that I need to size down.
