These shorts are for very casual wear; while they appear somewhat tailored in the pictures, they are definitely best suited for hiking or other outdoor activities.  The fabric is a bit stiff out of the box, but it softens up after the first couple of washes; the weave makes the shorts breathable on hot, humid days.

My only complaint is with the side pocket design; they are angled to prevent anything from falling out during your outdoor activities (good), but they make retrieving your cell phone or car keys quite difficult if you are in a hurry (annoying).
