Almost the perfect shorts ever! So close! (just needs elastic in the waistband to be 5 star) . What I love: (1) the pockets are amazing - all women's bottoms should have such great, deep pockets, with a mix of zipped and buttons! LOVE that! THANK YOU, Fjallraven, for the pockets! (2) The length of the legs is great. I hate short shorts, but usually longer shorts make me look frumpy... not these. I like to roll them up one hem-length and love how that looks/feels. (3) The curvy fit is SO FLATTERING. I never thought that longer shorts could look so good on me. These look amazing. I feel... sexy in them! Who knew! (4) Stretch - the fabric overall feels great and stretchy and durable. (5) Colour - I got the navy, and they just look so nice, with the little logo icon fox standing out nicely against the dark blue. My husband even commented on the colour. (6) The waist sits perfectly - not too high, not too short. Hits a nice spot. . Why not a 5-star review? Because I REALLY want some elastic/stretch in the waist. I love my Stina trousers, which are comfortable all day due to the small elastic sections they have put into the waistband. These shorts are comfortable for a while, but the lack of elastic in the waist means I start feeling the waist/button dig in after a few hours, or during different positions/activities. They just need to fix this, and I would be buying all the colours and getting rid of all my other shorts! . Should you buy some? I think it's worth getting a pair, for sure. Functionality, quality, and flattering fit are superb. I won't be buying a second pair in hopes that Fjallraven will make the EXACT same shorts with some elastic in the waist! Fjallraven, please don't change a thing about these except put elastic in the waist!!!
