Good all around shortGreat short to dress up or down. Good fit. Wish there was a little more of a blend to help cut wrinkles.

Good quality shortsI generally wear an 18 but these are just a bit big. Hot water wash and extra time in the dryer helps.

Cute color but they get baggy after a few hoursI love the color and length of these shorts. The problem is that after wearing them for a few hours they get incredibly baggy. They look ridiculous! Also, they need ironing. I didn't realize that; based on the care instructions it didn't seem like they would need to be ironed after coming out of the dryer.

Closet stapleI have several pair of the mid length shorts. I am 5’4 and short waisted. The longer length hit my knees and look frumpy. I like the perfect shorts front pockets.

Hi - What's the difference between the girlfriend shorts and the perfect shorts, other than one has a button closure and the other a hook and eye? Thx.
Asked by: Robin
The 7" Perfect Short has a polished, tailored fit, whereas, the 7" Girlfriend Chino Short, item P191017011, has a more relaxed fit.

are theses shorts lined? see through? I hate summer shorts where you can see everything. #ihatepantilines
Asked by: Ihatepantilines
The yellow are see through and I returned them. However, the navy, black and clay are not see through and very nice. The coral aren't really see through but not quite opaque.
