Chic Classic CollectionWomens Relaxed Fit Flat Bermuda Short

These shorts are a good news bad news thing. The bad: deceptive photography strikes again. Every photo that you see of these shorts show a slim leg, not tight but also not baggy. In actuality the legs are very very wide. And my thighs are NOT skinny. I'd hate to think how dorky they would look on someone with a truly slim leg.The good: other than the ridiculously wide legs, it's a nice pair of shorts. The fabric is fairly heavy-duty and laundered wonderfully. I'll bet they will wear like iron. They seem to be well made, and have pockets! The waistband is totally comfy, they pull on nicely, and I like the longer length. I generally wear a size 12 in pants but ordered these in a 14 to accommodate my oversized belly and they fit great.I am keeping them, only because (a) I don't think a smaller size would address the wide legs issue, and (b) I can use them for my daily walking regimen, so I don't care too much how they look.

These would be a definite 5 if not for the size discrepancies among colors. I ordered all three colors in sizes 10 and 12. I kept MidShade in 12, but kept 10s in Black and Dark.. I kept Dark in 12, too, because I washed it. I liked the way the 12 Dark fit initially, but as I wore it, it got baggier. Thankfully the flat waistband kept it up, so they wearable, but loose.The waistband lays nicely flat, and does NOT gap in the back, which is a usual problem for me. The elastic is not sewn into the seam, but it did not twist in the first washing. They didn't seem to shrink, and I dried them nearly dry. These aren't really slim cut, but they cut more like trousers than ordinary elastic-waisted shorts. So they really could be "dressed up' with anything you would wear with trousers. I am 5'2", and they are a bit closer to my knee than the illustration.These were exactly what I wanted them to be, and would be perfect, if not for the sizing issues.

These are great shorts. I'm a mom, still in "okay" shape after 2 kids, but definitely not into wearing short shorts anymore. Nobody needs to see my pale, white, mom legs in public. These are just the right length and a perfect fit. My hips and butt are bigger in proportion to my waist and while they are a little snug to pull up, once on, they fit like a dream. Not too tight around my rear and not gapping at my waist, which is the usual issue I have with pants or shorts. The elastic waist band is subtle and you can't even tell it's elastic. Doesn't look like something your grandma would wear at all. The fabric is also excellent and seems to be of a great quality. I haven't washed them yet, so if anything changes once I do wash them, I'll update my review. I ordered the darker denim color in a size 8. I'm 5'5" and 128 lbs. I'll definitely be getting these in the other colors to add to my summer staples.

These shorts are great! Good material that I think will hold up with time. They washed very nicely. I typically wear a plus size but after seeing that leg width is very wide with the plus size product, I went with Misses but one size larger than normal....that worked out fine! I would have gone with 5 stars had they not added the useless fake pockets in the back of the shorts.

I was reluctant to buy these without trying them on, but after reading the reviews, U decided to. I am so glad that I did! Perfect fit, so comfortable and such a good price. I love how they lightly control my tummy and although I am currently losing weight, the stretch material will still look great. These would sell in a store for a lot more. If you're thinking you may like these, but don't like buying clothes online, this is an easy first purchase! I am currently a size 16 and they are true to size!

I'm so pleasantly surprised at how nice they look and how comfortable they are! High quality, not flimsey. Elastic waistband is wide and holds in my waistline, which I was not expecting. Washed several times now and they have not faded.

These shorts were the greatest! I wore them everyday on a cruise I went on. They dry quickly. Always look nice! Wash great! would buy more if they came in different colors. Pockets are deep which is great for carrying ID.

I ordered my true size. I was worried because it took a little tugging to get them over my hips, but then they fit like a dream. I am very curvy (big hips small waist) and these fit perfectly at the waist with no gaping, but also fit my hips and were SO comfortable to sit in, stand in, just do anything in... I can wear these all day and not feel like they are too tight, or falling down. They stay up on my waist where they should be, and are almost as comfy as sweatpants, but look much more polished.If you are looking for attractive and comfortable all in one pair of shorts, look no further.Edit 8/17/16, been wearing all summer, and they are holding up well. Still love them.

most reviews for these say they're too small, but i found they were actually a great, flattering fit. (i got these in a larger size, though, maybe these complaints are more to do with the smaller sizes? i usually wear XL or 1X - it's very hard to find non-frumpy shorts in larger sizes) the waistband is wide and stays up well, but isn't too tight around the higher part of my waist. The material is thick, but seems breathable. it even has REAL POCKETS!! pretty pleased, overall.

I read the reviews before I ordered them, and they were right - these shorts are fabulous. They come just to the knee, so I can wear them "out and about" - shopping, for lunch - and I don't feel like I am inappropriately dressed for a 60 ish lady. The fit is perfect. I am really liking the banded, flat, no zipper look. Very comfortable. I will be wearing these all summer.

Because of the reviews, I bought a 12 instead of the 10 I usually wear. I probably could have made do with a 10, but the 12 works. I love the high waist. These shorts would accommodate larger thighs than I have, but the looseness is fine with me. I am happy with these shorts.
