Please help me find shorts

I would like to try and find some flattering shorts. I'm in my 50s and size 12-14, pear shape and 5'3" ish. I used to wear any shorts when I was young and slim but I think it will take a bit of thought now.

Try some golf skorts, cross between shorts and skirts, very flattering

The Lucy and Yak shorts are lovely but I do wonder if they are a bit short. I like the idea of golf skorts, I'll have a look, thanks!

Ralph Lauren, Poetry and for longer length try Seasalt.

The longest shorts I found were from Woolovers. I've got last year's design on order (on sale for £29 www.woolovers.com/womens/trousers/flat-front-linen-shorts-green-34404 ) - still available in a 12 in a sort of washed denim blue - the linen looks quite thin. This year's design is smarter, but also a bit shorter: https://www.woolovers.com/womens/trousers/flat-front-linen-shorts-blue-34400

I think that's the models I'm 5'9 and they sit an inch or two above my knee!

I'm loving shorts this year and would like some more for my holidays so I'll watch this thread.

I'm liking the suggestions so far.

I got these from M& S recently, surprisingly flattering (much better than the Chino shorts which in previous years have been great but this years are horrible)
