Shorts that stay put

[sylvandweller]

Do they exist?

I cannot find shorts that don't ride up the inner thigh. I do have quite muscular legs so not much of a 'thigh gap' which probably doesn't help, but I want them to sit just above the knee.

Too old for hot pants! 😁

Any suggestions please?

Bumping as I'm looking for shorts like this too,
My preference would be chinos/soft Jean material and a little bit looser than skinny shorts.
Tried M&S, Roman, Next to no avail 😏

I want something loose, and "airy".

Possibly an impossible ask!

I've just bought a few casual pairs from H&M and some lovely dressy ones from Massimo Dutti. They are all shorter than I would normally have worn but I find they actually look better when they hit half-way down the thigh.
I have quite short muscular legs due to running and cycling. (I'm 58 if that matters)

My thighs are chunkier than the models so they're not as loose.

Look at Cos.
I had some fab linen shorts from them last year which were lined in cotton, definitely loose and airy and super comfortable.

They've got some styles in cotton /linen this year which look similar.

Cargo or combat shorts? Why are these wrong?

I posted these on another thread and they were a bit marmite, however I love them. they don’t (can’t) ride up and they are very soft and airy. Obviously not to everyone’s tastes mind.

These are lovely. Bit spendy but I have a few things from Masai and they are lovely quality.

I'm after the same. I've sent some Sesalt ones back, and am waiting on some Lands End ones.

I got some great ones from Cotton Traders. They must be rare as I've been asked twice about them in the last 2 days walking the dog!

I have big thighs too and these are v airy

Just checked and I think they were the Everyday shorts
