Shorts for the shorts resistant

[SheWoreYellow]

I don’t like shorts but occasionally really need some.
I think I need not too short and kind of wide leg/floppy fabric. Pattern is fine. I’m 5’8” and a size 14. Tummy is my issue right now, everything else is kind of ok.

Anyone know what might be good?

I got mine from gap. Pull on as well. They hit about mid thigh or just above, I’m 5’7” and went for a large (size 14’currwntly) have chunky thighs but thought fuck it.

I haven't worn shorts for years but bought a couple of nice loose fitting ones from White Stuff for a holiday earlier this year...

Why do you need to wear them?

Last summer I bought some sport short/skirts - I had got some leggings with skirts attacked for playing tennis and thought ‘this is genius!. I found shorter legged versions - so with cycle shorts under easy a knee length skirt (pockets on skirt, pocket on leg of shorts for your phone - and one in the other side for tennis balls, not that I carry them around much!)

Very comfortable and loads of pockets!

H and m linen or linen mix they're roomy not too short and have pockets!

I’m finding I could do with them on a hot day on a bike!
Sometimes a skirt is just too smart. I normally live in jeans and joggers.

These? Linen with pockets, shirred waist?

You say, your tummy is the issue - wear a longer top with a shorter summer jacket.

Shorts - you don't want to wear them, don't wear them. Feel free to wear what you feel comfortable in and you will feel more confident.
Suggestions -linen cropped trousers, looks good with trainers (especially white). Wear lightweight 3/4 length trousers - incredibly comfortable, light and great for warm weather. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BRWLTQLL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1

Have a look at Free People Hotshot harem shorts. Not to everyone’s tastes but if you like joggers you may well like these too.

these look great. Weirdfish have many more short styles.

Uniqlo

Uniqlo is great! one more -jogger style shorts - https://www.next.co.uk/style/st621871/164308#164308

La Redoute are great for shorts. So many different styles.

That’s funny, my thread has been resurrected!

I really like the Uniqlo ones, but they’re just a bit short.
Don’t like cropped trousers at all, sorry. And I won’t wear a longer top, as that’s just going to make me look older than I am (everything has gone very short, hasn’t it), I just need some shorts that are vaguely flattering on the stomach.
I will have a look at La Redoute. Slightly wondering if I’m looking for something that doesn’t actually exist.

These are nice
