I bought first the heathered gray in size medium in this short, and then purchased the navy and dark charcoal in the small size.  The heathered pair were much richer looking, more substantial, and still great for sweltering weather.  The size medium was a little too big - I am 5'3", weigh around 130lbs.  But I rolled up the hem once making them have more shape.  The other colors in size small fit closer to the body but didn't pull at all and could still be rolled up once if you are short like I am.  However I found the pockets in the size small to be kind of bulky - like they weren't tailored for a small and I constantly am smoothing them out.  I think in time they will lay properly.  I do with wish they would make more of the heathered material in different colors in the same style short..
