Not quite what I was expecting.  They're a little more stretchy and more like workout shorts than casual wear shorts/petal pushers.  They're comfortable and fit well--just a little more dressed down that I was expecting.  I would wear these to the grocery store or the park or something for errands.  I wouldn't wear them to go to meet friends.  More like lounge wear/house wear than out of the house wear--if that makes sense.
