Lovely fit and comfortable but expensive

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Gorgeous shorts. Flattering and super comfortable. I do think the price point is a bit too high, though.

This is my second pair of shorts. I got in beige and now in black. They are very comfortable, the material is really nice and they look lovely. I would love to have in all colours.

These are lovely cool (in temperature) shorts to wear. I would love them in some other colours - dusky pink or dark grey.

Fab shorts they fit nice and snug but not to tight around legs or waists but they feel secure and around waist.

Absolutely gorgeous shorts. So comfy and nice to wear. Lovely stretch material. Bought for a holiday coming up where I will be hiking and walking lots, so I am excited to wear them but I know they will be just perfect!

Loose fit but still flattering. No vpl

I bought the explorer shorts to have something a bit more loose fitting for gyms wear. I love the length and flattering cut. I can do full body without without feeling self conscious.

Great lightweight shirts for the summer and easy to pack for holidays. Love my explorer trousers and these are just a shutter version. Comfy, and great for warm weather. Bought blue and black.

Fab shorts, especially for tennis

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these shorts mainly for tennis, and they’re perfect! Not too short (which often tennis stuff is!), kept me cool in the hot weather, big pockets for balls and look great.

The shorts are extremely comfortable. Nice soft fabric. Bought xs I'd say 8/10 size uk. very neat on the waist and probably should have bought small. I previously bought the trousers which also are great. .

Lovely sports but bunch up a bit

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely shorts - great fabric and length. Love that there’s a bit of stretch in the fabric and plenty of room in the legs so that they don’t cling. The pockets are nice and deep and don’t gape open. My only niggle is that they do tend to ride up my behind a bit and bunch up. It’s fine, because I love the shorts overall, but it’s just a shame. A size up would be far too big so that’s not the issue. Would still recommend though as it may just be my shape!

I really like these shorts. I’m in my 50’s and it’s hard to find a short that’s not too short to workout in, but these are perfect. I now own a few pairs. Very comfortable, very flattering. I am 5’8” 148 lbs, the medium fit perfectly.

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Excellent shorts. They are highly comfortable and so versatile. Can be worn all day for sports or just out shopping. Highly recommend. The only negative is the side pockets. I have hips so these tend to exaggerate that area as they stick out.
