Comfortable shorts?

10 replies

I have always avoided shorts as I am only 5' 3 and don't have amazing legs. However, I now fancy some for my holiday and wondered whether comfortable shorts actually exist? We are driving to France and I wouldn't like to feel cut in half.

Nothing too skimpy but not M&S frumpy either...I am struggling.

I'm 5'4" and have a pair of these in the longer length. They're rather flattering, nice material and definitely comfortable.

I have the Boden ones from a couple of years back, but they are a 14 and I've larded out since. The DP denim knee length shorts are good and only £20; plus I can get into a 14 so they must come up big.

I am 5' 3" too and got some great ones from Primark. They finish just above the knee, cotton chino type material, and are so comfy. 8 - you can't complain!

8 pounds, not sure why my keyboard doesn't like doing the pound symbol.
