The best thing about these shorts is comfort.  The material is more light-weight & the color is good.  They're definitely short shorts.  The description for these shorts (70's cut off) wasn't kidding - they're a little too short.  I'm not sure I would wear them out in public because the inseam is probably around 3 1/2 to 4 inches but they're wonderful for a mommy w/an active two year old at home.
