WHAT ABOUT THE SHORTS WIDTH

Shorts should fit like your favorite pants, easy to wear, not overly snug, and never baggy. Use the “pinch trick”: pinch about an inch of fabric at the thigh. If it’s more, it may be too loose; if none, you might need more room. MAISON MISFIT shorts like Undefined Shorts  and Find Freedom Shorts  have a roomy feel, while Fearless  and Celebrity Miniature Shorts offer more shape.
