Long tailored summer shorts

Yes, I know asking for "long shorts" is a bit of a contradiction, but I love wearing shorts in the summer, but all I seem to be able to find is short or shortish shorts and my cellulite does not agree with those. I'd like something that comes quite far down on the thigh, looks a bit more tailored than most of the elasticated waistband ones (although a bit of elatication at the back is ok), maybe even with belt loops for a belt. I'd usually look in Cos for such things but I didn't see anything that fitted the spec. Has anyone seen anything like this/bought anything similar?

I can deal with good quality viscose, but ideally cotton/linen; and nothing from M&S please. Budget is up to about £60-70 for the right item

Also interested in denim shorts in a slightly longer style!

it sounds like sort of thing I see a lot of in Sainsburys. Would it be scruffy to you to roll hem up?

Do you mean tailored shorts, bermudas or culottes?

Ooh thank you, there are several here that already look good. I shall drill down on them tomorrow.

I'm looking for tailored shorts, not culottes etc for clarity, although happy to look at any short-length smart summer bottoms that people have bought and are happy with
