So comfy and stylish
Yes, I recommend this
The Explorer High Waisted Shorts are so comfortable you hardly know you are wearing them. They were recommended to me by my daughter in law, who wears exercise gear a lot. I am 78 and they look stylish and classy, even at my age. I live by the sea and it is normal round here to wear shorts whatever your age, but even if you don’t think they are your thing I would say give them a try. You can dress them up or down, so they don’t have to look like gym wear or holiday wear. I am size 14 and bought the L, which feels just right, I don’t like things too tight.

Shorts for tennis
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
I bought these shorts to play tennis in. They are very confortable with good size pockets to easily hold a couple of balls. I bought the longer length as I wanted more coverage. The material is soft and breathable and the loose style means they will be cool in the summer.

Bought 2 pairs of these shorts to wear whilst travelling. They’re extremely comfortable, lightweight and easy to wash/dry quickly, It would be helpful to have a secure pocket for a phone or key.

Explorer 5.5" shorts
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
No, I don't recommend this
When I first tried on the shorts they were really comfortable and a great length. Just what I had been looking for...but quite pricey and a bit more than I wanted to spend. I expected high quality for the price but after wearing the shorts 5 or 6 times, the stitching has all started to come away in the waist band.

I bought these for the gym but I wear them for shopping as well as in the gym. They are a little longer than my other shorts but super flattering and comfortable and the length and fit feels good for every day wear. Please make them in burgundy.

These shorts are lightweight and comfortable. Suitable for running, hiking or daily wear. I like the slightly longer length 5.5”. I’m size 12 and medium fits perfectly.

Really nice and comfy shorts. Wore them lots on holiday. I have removed one star as after one wash the elastic waistband seems to have twisted in several places and now doesn’t lie flat. Agree that some brighter colours would be nice.

Very dark navy - not for me
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
I have these in the light green which I really like. Lovely light fabric and flattering fit. But I found the navy too dark for everyday summer wear and sent back.

The best shorts for all the curvy women out there who struggle to find shorts that fit. 10/10! The stretch, the length, everything is perfect. Now to buy them in all the colours

Loose fit and nice length and material. Wish they still did them in pink or brighter colours as most of the colours are quite drab and boring.

Great to throw on every morning in this heatwave. Washes well, really good quality and the soft green is a nice colour. Looks nice with the zip up top for cooler moments too.

Supremely comfortable
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
Absolutely love these shorts. I had been eyeing them up for ages and then managed to pick them up in the sale in the colour I wanted. They are supremely comfortable and have been great on hot days running around after my kids.
