Summer shorts for mid size middle aged woman who’s not beyond looking young and trendy

[Nowthatshuge]

Anyone have a recommendation or a few for shorts that cover these…

• enough arse covering that my cheeks aren’t showing but not so long they look frumpy
• no iron / easy iron
• flatter a big tummy
• comfortable waist band
• don’t cut your fanny in half when you sit down
• on trend / young ish fashion
• not adversed to something funky

@Kindnesscostsnothingtryit I’m tempted. Would you say they are true to siz?

Good selection in M&S

I like Passenger and have the Carriso shorts. Wore them all last weekend for a festival and they were so comfy. They took a lot of battering too and have withstood it all.

Boden's linen shorts are great. I like the Belgravia style, you can choose leg length, but there are others:

They're a bit more expensive, but I've got a couple of pairs that must be over 10 years old.

There’s loads of wearable shorts at the moment - I’m middle aged, medium build, just got some H&M high-waist denim bermuda shorts - so easy to wear with a t shirt or floaty blouse and sandals… if you don’t like knee length they have a range of easy styles atm

I have the h&m ones, perfect apple shape ones

I got a two pack of shorts from yours. I don't like short shorts but also don't want to look frumpy, these hit just above the knee.

These ones.

I’m wearing these today from peacocks, 100% cotton and a lovely colour and flattering style.

These are much nicer than the photos make them look. Very comfortable, long enough (I’m 5ft 10)

Ambela jean shorts. I know, you wouldn't normally class denim as checking your boxes, but honestly it doesn't feel like normal restrictive denim. Designed to fit curvy bodies (lots of different sized models on the website). I gave a pair of their jeans a go, sure they couldn't be as good as they claimed, and honestly they are. The shorts too. Works for larger tummies, doesn't dig in, sensible length, don't cling to larger thighs. Really stretchy. A little more on the pricier side for jean shorts (£60), but absolutely worth it.

Stretch Shorts – Ambela

Just bought a med wash denim pair today from Mango. High rise at waist. Plenty of leg material , Bermuda length. They look great and I hate shorts. £29.99.

I have these in denim blue and cream. I live in them on hot days and think they look nice.

Im between a 12 and 14 and risked a 12 and they're perfect.
