Going against the grain but I prefer the first pair. They look neater than the roll up type

Don’t you think they look backwards? Like the bum is on the front?

Neither (sorry).

Should have lovely legs and something slim fitting will look much better, even if you go for a longer length.

These are a weird length. They remind me of peddle pushers 😂

OP I think your choices are better

I quite like the pocket detail. Gives them something a bit extra. To my eye, the second pair are boring and look like every other pair of shorts.

They're both baggy in the crotch which suggests you either need a smaller size or a smaller rise.

If those are high rise try some mid rise.

I also prefer the colour/wash of the first pair

Ahh yes! I loved pedal pushers as a teenager! Now I wear short shorts which feels like aging in reverse 😆

Next do nice ones. Stretchy and comfy

LeilaLandi · 05/06/2025 21:47

The first ones look great, where are they from?!

LeilaLandi · 05/06/2025 21:52

Read more and know they’re mango !

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 05/06/2025 21:53

the first pair

Justsomethoughts23 · 05/06/2025 22:16

Neither great and both dated IMO. Would prefer maybe more of a paper bag type shape personally but don’t actually wear denim shorts at all.

BewareTheHunted · 05/06/2025 22:20

Second pair without a doubt

pennyHD · 06/06/2025 08:56

So, we’ve had a Matalan and a Roman suggestion on this thread. Just waiting for a Damart link too….

I adore the second pair. I love that look, beachy and relaxed.
That is how I would love to look in shorts!

Exactly this!

Hallywally · 08/06/2025 17:46

Jealous of your legs OP! You have fantastic figure!
