Fantastic sized/length shorts!

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

I am 5ft 11" size 12, 48 yr old female and struggle to find shorts that are a good mid-length - not too short and not too long. I was looking for comfortable airy shorts to go on holiday the these Explorer shorts are amazing. For me they are the right length but most importantly the material is light and they are a generous fit. I ordered M but the S could have fit. I wanted a looser more comfortable fit, so stuck with the M. These are my favourite shorts this summer!

The brilliant shorts

Fantastic shorts due to the lightweight fabric and cut. They are very comfortable and gave me confidence. Please could you make them in more colours. A supplementary light top would be perfect.

I’ve found shorts I feel confident in !

I will be buying these in more colours. Bring a bigger lass, it’s hard to find shorts that are flattering but these are the ones. Very light weight, easy washed and dried and with pockets. Love them!

Fabulous shorts

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

These shorts are the best summer shorts I’ve bought in a long time. I got them in black XL so that I can wear them casually but also could wear them out for lunch etc if I want to. Flattering even in a larger size. Got them for dog walking but they’re just so great I haven’t got out of them during this heatwave.

Shorts Are Long on Appeal

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Comfy shorts that are long enough for tall women. M runs a bit big, but I kept it. I am between a 6 and an 8 and these feel like a 10.

Lovely fit and comfortable but expensive

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.

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.
