Classic look perfect for all casual occasions, fit true to size, lightweight, quick-drying and wrinkle resistant. Sits just above the knee.I bought these in the light gray color before and had to get another pair. Now that I've got plage heather, I find myself wanting to get backup pairs for whenever I wear these out in case they stop making them.The shorts are very lightweight. Add to that the pocket liners being mesh and it's obvious they are designed for swimming.The good part: they don't LOOK like a pair of hybrid shorts or whatever preferred term you use. They look great and I never hesitate to wear them out for any casual occasion.In fact, I haven't even worn them to swim. But they are quick to dry and don't wrinkle. Out of the bag, you might have concerns about the material seeming slightly stiff, but one wash and that is not a concern.They also fit to size. I don't know what happened in recent years, but for some reason waist size became arbitrary in the men's clothing industry. I haven't used measuring tape here but I have a 32šÃ„ù waist and the size 32 is perfect here.The material does have a bit of stretch to it, but the waist does not. They sit right at the waist and just above the knee.Overall I would highly recommend these to everyone who wears clothes.
