very thin fabric

Had high hopes for these. Love the length, finally thinking of older generation. The fabric very very thin like pajamas. I was so looking forward to maybe the older zella bermuda shorts. these arent anywhere near those. Quality just isnt in our products since covid. I hate the returns i have to do. The prices and quality not there. I love nordstrom, hope we see a change. I have to shop previously owned sites to get the quality

Good for sleeping in

I had higher hopes for these shorts. They are a soft material but thinner than I expected. They also show every detail and panty lines are on full display. I'm 5'7" and they just cover my knees. I'm usually a medium and they fit TTS. Will still wear around the house and to sleep in but don't think I will be wearing them out due to their thinner fabric.

second skin feel, in a cool style

Love how this fabric is so breathable, feels like a second skin. Feels current and with the times to have this cool short be in the trending second skin fabric. It’s like an active jort!

Nice but too huge. I got a medium and it would fit An XL. Generous waist and long in the crotch

Great lounging shorts!

Very comfortable and soft. A great length for a middle aged woman. Would be nice if other colors were available.

luxuriously soft

These are great shorts. Long length and wide leg gives them an elevated look. The material is so soft and no pockets gives a smooth silhouette. Depending in the cut, I wear a medium or large in Zella. I ended up with the large and am comfortable in them.
