Can anyone recommend any women's shorts that are comfortable, and also look nice?
I don't want them too long, I'm happy to show my legs. But I don't want them too short, because, well, I'm not a teenager any more. I want them to finish in the middle third of my upper leg, basically.
A little bit of stretch would be nice.
I want the legs to be fairly close fitting, rather than flopping open to show my knickers if I sit on the floor. But I don't want them to be too tight round the thighs, waist or arse.
I don't want the waist to be too high, I find it uncomfortable.
I don't mind if they are a "casual" material (towelling, thick jersey, light cotton, all fine), as long as they are well cut.
I don't want them to look too sporty. I don't want those little notches cut out at the side of each leg at the bottom. I'd like them to have pockets.
Bright-ish colours are fine. Don't really want denim, or white, or anything too pale that will show the (inevitable) dirt. Patterns are possibly OK.
Can anyone recommend anything?
