I love the elastic back waistband. It helps fit my curvy body better than the "all one size" short; they're about 2 inches too big at the waist for me.
These shorts are nice, but the color does not match up well with the color shown on my computer screen. I was expecting a much darker and more golden-color when I selected 'dark khaki.' These are more like putty.
I am short and plump and usually uncomfortable in shorts, but these are great. Just the right length. Excellent fit all around. Easy to care for. Highly recommended.
