These shorts got me through the recent UK heatwave, and a sunny holiday! Definitely recommend.
The waistband is flat fronted, but elasticated at the back, which is fast becoming my favourite style. The pleats at the front add a nice detail.
I have a pair in viscose linen and ramie, both of which work really well.
I added 2″ to the shorts length as I don’t like “short shorts” (I’m 5’2″ for context).
I also used a different construction on the waistband to advised – more details on my blog …
