Great length, not too short but low waisted.

These are some of the best shorts I've bought after trying multiple brands. The length is not too short but not too long and the colors are beautiful. Only thing, they are not high waisted I would say they are more of a mid to low rise.

Transparent! So disappointed :(

I bought these shorts in black and absolutely loved them so I bought more pairs in black, navy and white. The white ones are lined with white and you can see right through the white material to see the pockets and “underwear” liner. If they just made the shorts in the same material they would be ok. I have to return these

These shorts are super comfy and easy to wear. I wore them on my hikes in Hawaii and they did not disappoint. Also great for sports moms and in the run.

I love these shorts! I have ordered other colors also. The material is soft and sturdy and the color is beautiful. The detail at waist is very flattering. Very comfortable!

My go-to shorts!

I have these in three colors and wear them daily in AZ. Throw on to run errands or work at home. Built in pantry panel means no underwear needed and keeps you feeling secure. Can’t live without these.
