Can anyone recommend shorts that will cover my knees?

Sorry if this seems frivolous, but it's the small things that are keeping me going

We are going to India in August (at least, we are at this moment in time) and I need to be conservatively dressed with my knees and shoulders covered. Shoulders is fine, knees are proving to be more problematic.

I'm 5'3" so 3/4 length trousers look like my mum refused to buy me new school trousers as it was close to the end of term. Regular shorts are too short. Gym type leggings will be too uncomfortable.

I'm not a skirt girl by nature, but do have a couple which I may have to employ. I just want proper shorts like men have

Cut the bottom off trousers?
Buy petite range?

I think Uniqlo tend to do loose, patterned long shorts in the summer. I have a feeling Lands End do chino style long ones too.

You want culottes to come below the knee, and there will be enough waft to be cool. I just had a look on ebay and there are loads of cotton ones at the right length.
I've bought below the knee trousers (but only just below) from Asda in previous years which were good

What about cropped wide leg jumpsuits?

Thank you

The petite range doesn't normally work as it tends to be quite feminine in cut - I sadly do not have a feminine figure

I will have a look at the shops suggested (none of which I've ever actually looked at!)
All I need is for us to be allowed to travel

Wear men’s long cargo shorts?

Have you tried mens shorts? You might be surprised how well they fit.

Ooh where are you going? I found maxi dresses with a shawl to work best for me when I was there. They're light and airy and worked well!

arriety we are doing a group tour, Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi and a couple smaller villages in between.

I'm really too short for men's clothes, but possibly teenage boys may do the trick. Not being able to try them on is a bit of a pain so I wanted to get this sorted sooner rather than later.

Just wear men's if they suit your shape! I'm tall so very very often wear mens joggers and pyjamas. And checked shirts!

Mens 3/4 shorts gave me this as the first link cargo Usefully it gives the length of 46cm inside leg measurement so you can gauge if you want man or boy!
