Women's Pleated Work Shorts 10 Inch

These are PERFECT if you're in the sort of workplace where shorts get you frowns but skirts aren't always appropriate for what you're doing. I'm just over 5' tall and work for nuns. These just brush the tops of my knees. They're loose enough that I can go up and down my ladders without concern about straining any seams, they breathe really well, and best of all for this time of year, they're long enough that when I get into my car with its black seats and an interior temperature of 109, they protect my legs from getting burned to a crisp and then adhering to the seat.

When you first put them on and pull them up, you'll probably look at the pleats and recoil. It's weird, though - once you actually fasten the button and zip the zipper, the pleats look good. It's almost as though before everything was stretchy spandex bodycon formfitting leave-nothing-to-the-imagination style, people still had ways of making things fit your body properly. I've got chunky hips. I do! But I have a narrow waist. It's difficult to find things that really fit you properly with that shape these days, but this hits at the natural waste, secures comfortably, and the pleats are done correctly so the legs fall neatly. Nothing bunches. Nothing stretches.

Practical and flattering both.

I personally wish they were a tad thicker, but I'm the one who decided to get a car with a black pleather interior. It's my own fault if a regular pair of shorts doesn't fully protect me from the burning.

The one issue is that they do wrinkle easily. A quick tumble through the dryer, though, and the wrinkles fall out.

They’re a sturdier fabric and don’t wrinkle. Not loving how noisy they are when I walk or the poor job of the button hole finishing, but they’re decent shorts for the price. Order up a size.

This product was received as part of a promotion. I got these black shorts with a 10 inch inseam. They’re longer for me since I’m a shorter person (5’ 1”). The quality of the fabric is good & I love the black color. The fabric is thick but not heavy by any means. They look good on me & can be dressed up or down depending on the event. The important thing for me is that they are comfortable.

These are nice, dressier shorts. The wide leg makes them very comfortable. I think once the temperature actually goes above 60 they will be a great wear! They have a crispness and polish to them which takes the look up a notch. I'm 5'6" and the length is perfect for me. In fact, the overall fit is perfect. I'm normally a 16W and these are ideal. They do look best with a belt.

The stitching is very good as is the fabric. I think they would be good in a cuffed option as well so if they are too long that's an option. They arrived with no wrinkles despite the packaging and no smell. Another win-win. I ordered the khaki but may need to get these in other colors!

Good fit! Great longer dress short. Stay true to size for a more form fitting look or size up for a relaxed.
