I bought these in black and I've been wearing (and washing!) them a bunch since they arrived.

Yes, they're true to size. (Which, in itself is pretty flippin' miraculous on Amazon.  J/s.)

I normally like shorter shorts, but I needed a pair that were longer so they'd be less casual.

Now, usually I don't care much for longer shorts because they tend to hit my legs at a really unattractive length.  Probably why I wear shorter ones. Or dresses.

But SOMEHOW these don't do that! They're actually pretty flattering!  And they have large pockets to put stuff in if you need to, but it doesn't look like you have "lumpy bumpy dork-fish" pockets when you do.

Don't ask me to explain 'em.  I can't.

They're like, mysterious magic pants or something.  True story.

As others have said, the fabric is wonderful! It's thin but not see-through, and can be worn as "active" shorts or as "nicer" shorts that I can wear where I might otherwise choose jeans or leggings in cooler weather.

I'm want to buy them in another color but I'm short on funds right now.  Fingers crossed that they won't run out before I can!
