"I've tried on sooooo many different brands of work shorts, and they've all been uncomfortable around the crotch, tight around thighs, loose around waist, not squat safe, too long or too short. . . . . but these shorts fit everything perfectly!! I have an 80-85cm waist, 104-112cm hips and a stomach that pokes out, and the size 12 is perfect π Although they're a little tight around my 73cm thighs but the soft material is easy to roll up - If you're between sizes i recommend choosing the smaller size because they're pretty roomy and they stretched out to my size quickly I also sent Aimee an email asking if she recommended the 12 or 14 and she quickly responded within an hour :) I would also recommend these shorts for more neutral weather, as the high waist and thick cotton material can get sweaty if it's hot or humid - Also keep in mind that after one wear, the cotton material on my inner thighs started pilling, so if your thighs chafe and pilling bothers you, I'd recommend the z-lite shorts instead Overall, they feel soft, high quality and they're the best fitting shorts I've ever tried π"

First Time Wearer
"I purchased these shorts as I needed something that was a little cooler to wear. I found these shorts very comfortable and cool. They also allowed plenty of movement. I am a cleaner so I needed something that would allow bending and stretching especially when cleaning the bathroom. Loved these and will purchase more when needed. Thanks Michelle"

Amazing!
"Fit, length, comfort all so good! Have been searching for some women's work shorts for a while and nothing suited or fit a larger women's build."

Work shorts
"Best fit ever!"

Super comfy
"Fab shorts. Comfy fit and great quality fabric. Possibly a little thick and heavy on those really hot and humid days , but can’t fault their quality."
— Alison T. (5/5)
Very comfortable
"Very comfortable and they look good. Plenty of good deep pockets. My new favourite short"
— Kerry R. (5/5)
So Happy!
"They fit in all the right places, and I can still move, and they don't ride up for me at all. I am a size 14 and the 14 was great!"
— Michelle s. (5/5)
Curvy Gal Approved!
"I have big hips, thick thighs & quads & a small waist. These shorts are so comfy! They don’t ride up on my inner thighs or chafe. They move with you. Wore them crouching, kneeling, climbing ladders and doing a ton of steps and honestly so bloody comfy and practical. Love the extra pockets so handy"
