I purchased these for "walking shorts" - but it turns out that I'm wearing them everywhere!  They have a generous fit - which is important to me, as I am long "in the stide" (crotch to waist).  I just hate too tight shorts - and these are loose and comfy w/o being baggy. I wish they had pockets - then they w/b perfect!  I purchased two pairs in gray - and if they had come in white, I would have purchased two pairs in white as well.  You'll LOVE these shorts!
